Sleep Regression

Well there hasn't been much sleeping going on in our house for about a month now.  Being that it is the week of Halloween, I feel like my husband and I could play the part of zombies perfectly.  Sleep regression has hit us hard.  Liv is clingy and cries every time I put her down unless a toy distracts her.  Her nap schedule is unpredictable or non-existent entirely.  A few days last week she gave up her morning nap but took a long 2.5 hour nap in the afternoon.  But more times than not, she just fights me on napping.  One would think if they aren't sleeping during the day, they will pass out and sleep through the night.  But that is not the case either. My girlfriend was up every hour last night from 1:30am on.

As I sit here yawning writing this post, I can only pray that we are almost done with this not so fun phase.  Everything I have read says sleep regression last about 4-6 weeks.  I feel like it has already been an eternity but that is probably b/c I am so sleep deprived and surviving on caffeine.  While I am thrilled she is practicing her new skills such as standing and taking steps or saying new words, this tired mama needs a good nights rest.
