Operation snooze alarm
1:00am - Rex puts Katie back to sleep
1:05-1:15am - Rex puts Katie back to sleep again
2:25-3:35am - Katie screamed like a banshee while I patted, rubbed, scratched, and shushed. I did NOT, however, pick her up or nurse her. At the end, she refused to stay laying down, stretching her arms forward like a cat resisting a bath. For the last 10 minutes or so, I was curled in a ball on the floor. This seemed to calm the constant screaming to intermittent screeches, although she was still standing.
3:35-3:45am - I went back to bed and we watched Katie stand and screech intermittently on the tv.
3:45-4:05am - Katie is eerily silent. She stands. She sits. She plays with Elph Net. She stands some more. I doze, peeking up every minute or so to watch.
4:05am - I open my eyes. Katie is laying down! Rex says she just did it about 20 seconds before. We watch for a couple minutes, then turn off the tv and crash.
5:45am - Katie's up with a pooper. I change her, then we both fall asleep while she nurses.
6:30am - I take Katie back to her crib, and drag my ass back to bed.
7:00-7:45am - Jamie gets up. I get her into my bed and try to convince her to snuggle. It's more like trying to sleep with a happy puppy. Not much rest gotten, but I manage to stay warm under the covers.
8:20am - Katie wakes up. Apparently, unlike her sister, she'll actually make up sleep when she has a bad night.
