Back to where we started from

Well... We've hit a bit of a rough patch in the road for Aiden. While we never got to a point where we would consider Aiden a "good" sleeper, the last few nights have gone back to being extremely rough. So much so that it seems like we might be going back to the point where he will only sleep comfortably if one of us is holding him. While we did not sleep holding him in the chair last night like we did the first few weeks home with him, we didn't get much sleep either. Aiden slept for about 3 hours last night, and neither mommy or I got much more than that.

Fortunately for yours truly, Raquel has a hard time sleeping after about 7:30, so once she was up I went to bed and was able to get 5 hours of good solid sleep. That doesn't do Raquel much good unfortunately, but I felt a whole lot better.

Tomorrow we will have some fresh pictures to share. Raquel tells me Aiden "discovered his toes" tonight and was having a blast grabbing them, she took a couple of pictures which I will download at some point tomorrow.

We go to the doctor for Aiden's 4 month check a week from tomorrow, so hopefully she will have some new suggestions on the sleeping front. We'll just have to wait and see how that goes. For now, we just have to do the best we can.

Aiden is still a happy baby during the day, so we can't complain. And if some sleeping problems in the beginning is the worst we deal with, well we can count ourselves lucky. So many other parents are so much worse off than we are and we DO consider ourselves blessed that Aiden is as healthy as he is.

On a side note. One of the funny things about this blog. There is a spell check on the Blogspot form, and it does not recognize Aiden's name as spelled correctly. So I get lots of spelling erros every time I hit the button because of the number of times his name is in here.
