I know they are supposed to save their lives, but they made me want to rip them off of him! So sorry you have to deal with it. Hopefully you won't have to deal with it for too long. Yes, it will get better! Tag team is good, too! Love you guys!mamatreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10959531987966572344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4465283616490974027.post-14470581233442607832011-10-06T01:44:24.586+08:002011-10-06T01:44:24.586+08:00Praying for you!

You may know this but I do remember reading in Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child that sleep patterns usually go by the due date for babies born early. Even for my boys born just 2 weeks early I found they tended to hit the patterns he described based on their due date rather than their birth date. It usually takes a couple months for sleep patterns to "organize." Hopefully Alicia will hit that before too long, and especially getting the day/night confusion straightened out; that's a tough one!Macchiattohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01143076637938193104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4465283616490974027.post-75412032773168145812011-10-06T00:41:44.924+08:002011-10-06T00:41:44.924+08:00And just when you think you got it down...

The trouble was, we didn't, he still came home a newborn! <br />The first few months were awful. Robbie wasn't a good sleeper for a LONG time. We could never do the EASY thing because of Robbie's reflux, too much activity after eating lead to puking, so he pretty much HAD to eat-sleep-activity. <br /><br />Anyway, the beginning is all about survival. It sounds like things are going normally (you know, plus monitor alarms... ;) ) and it will improve eventually, I promise. <br /><br />Also, let me add that I did yell at Robbie a time or two. I felt AWFUL afterwards, but the depths of exhaustion you can hit are pretty indescribable, so if you get there, dont' think you're alone. Just lean on each other and your friends to get some rest!David, Trish and Robbie Coxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09128505677753526600noreply@blogger.com
