I know it's been awhile since my last post. Things have been pretty busy around here and won't be slowing down anytime soon. I'll post more about that later. For now:
My LO no longer sleeps through the night. She only wakes up once between 12 and 5, and it doesn't bother me. I don't mind giving her a few extra calories if she needs them and sometimes it means she will sleep longer. Last night she woke up around 3:15. I got up and went to the bathroom, and by the time I was done, she had fallen back to sleep. Yippee! I went back to bed and wouldn't you know, as soon as I fell back to sleep, she wakes up again. So I get up at 3:30 with her. We settled in our glider and she nursed on both sides. She started slowing down on the second side and I was about to get up to put her back to sleep when she spit up pretty much every ounce of milk she had just ingested, all down my side. It was super lovely.
I called for back up and turned on the light to clean us up. DH took care of the spillage on the glider and the floor, got me a wet washcloth and a clean shirt, all to the delight of Miss Mia. She thought it was a MOTN party! Thankfully, after her jammas were changed and the light was turned back off, she went back down with only a few minutes of comfort nursing.
I guess I learned two things last night: she might not really be all that hungry after all and just because she's over a year doesn't mean the spit-up episodes are over. Joy.
