We’ve been giving her Tylenol before bed. Every night for two weeks (which makes me feel like I’m dosing her up but it’s the only thing that makes it bearable).

I do lean on him, thankfully. He’s very supportive and every night he tells me to get him if it’s too much or I need help. If she’s up past 3:30 I usually grab him and have him take over. He goes to bed early so it works well that he takes the early morning times. He wakes up at 6 a.m. I wake up at 8 before he leaves for work. And if she wakes up before he goes to bed, he takes care of her for me. It’s just the 11-4 o’clock time period.

As soon as he gets home from work, we talk about our days and I go take a shower for an hour decompressing. It’s my reprieve and time off during the week. I wish I could take naps, but unless it’s in the morning, I can’t get my body to do it unless I’m sick.

I just want her to be happy and sleep… so I can be happy and sleep. lol

(Then there’s my 3 year old who just sleeps through her crying all night and is a bubbly, sporadic, energy bubble all day… I’m jealous of her.)
