You're killin' me, Smalls.

Nugget is 8 weeks, and is giving me a run for my money. All confident statements that I had an "easy baby" are thrown out the window.

SB and BW started going to bed right around 7 pm once we instituted a bedtime routine around 6 weeks.  When they hit 8 weeks, they started sleeping an 8-hour stretch.  That promptly stopped around 4 months and they didn't sleep through the night until 9 or 10 months, but I was really clinging to the 6 and 8 week mark as a time that Nugget would hopefully settle into a more manageable sleep pattern.

In response, she gives me a big, gummy, silent laugh.

Nugget has a definite witching hour.  It starts around 5 or 6 pm, and continues anywhere from 9 to midnight. I've tried to put her to bed anywhere from 6:30 to 7:30, and she persists in staying up until 9 or 10 pm.  I could try for 6 pm, but that's also when, you know, we're trying to feed two toddlers or have some semblance of a family dinner.  Which, 50% of the time, occurs with Nugget attached to my boob nursing.  I start to get touched out at about 8 pm, and it's driving me a tiny bit crazy to not get any baby-free time until, you know, I need to go to sleep to have any chance of functioning the next day. DH always offers to help but I usually turn him down as there is a lot of nursing that happens in between her 5-minute cat naps before her eyes pop wide awake.

I'm trying to track all her sleep time to really try and ensure that she is getting adequate sleep.  It's a little tricky, especially on days that SB and BW are home, too. Since I only have a few weeks of leave left, I'm really hoping we get it figured out soon.
