Not Sleeping Well!

August 10-16, 2008: Jade not sleeping well through the night has been the story of the week. Aaron had to go out of town on Sunday night til Wednesday so Jade spent the evenings and night with the Grandmas. On Monday night I slept over at Grandma Gunn's house. I had worked on Saturday all night and didn't get any sleep on Sunday because of church so I was exhausted that night. However Jade had a different idea about what she wanted to do during the night. She was up every hour until I finally took her upstairs and held her hadn while she swung in the Snug Bug until she finally fell asleep around 6am. Mom woke me up an hour later on the floor next to the Snug Bug. Luckily, mom was nice enough to watch Jade while I slept the morning away.
On Tuesday, Jade spent the night at Roanne's. She did really well during the evening but when it came to bedtime she wouldn't fall asleep. Roanne ended up sleeping on the couch while holding Jade.
Aaron got home on Wednesday and he came over to visit me while I was working. Everyone at work was so surprised how well she is doing. She smiles and interacts with everyone and she doesn't get fussy when someone tries to hold her. She was really cute. However that cuteness wasn't so cute at 3am when all she wanted to do was play. Aaron wasn't too amused.
On Friday Jade stayed at Grandma and Grandpa Gunn's house while Aaron, Austin, Cierra and I went on a double date to Lagoon. We had a really good time.





On Saturday, we accompanied Auburn to Cedar City so that she could get situated before school started at SUU. Jade did really well on the way down to Cedar City and all during the day while we helped Auburn get unpacked. However she started losing it during Les Miserables play at the Tuacahn. She was sleepy and wanted to take a nap but couldn't because there was just too much to see. She ended up getting so tired that by the time we got home she just wouldn't go to bed. She would fall asleep for an hour and then wake up for an hour. She did that all night, until finally at 5am we took Jade for a drive to help her go to sleep. She fell right asleep and slept until we had to wake up to go to church. She didn't like that very much. She was ornry the entire day. Poor kid was just exhausted. She slept the entire way home.









Hope next week goes better.
