I know I have written several posts about Callen's sleeping habits. And yet, here I am again writing about ANOTHER sleeping problem. I am not a fan of Callen crying, I know most people aren't a fan of their child crying; however, because of my need to not let Callen cry it has turned him into a monster at night. Therefore, I am FOR REAL making him sleep all night in his bed tonight. This is going to happen people TONIGHT. I am trying really hard to prepare myself and I know I have to do it...IT IS TIME.
He has progressively gotten worse with his sleeping habits. He usually has one night a week that he sleeps really well. However, most nights he wakes up at least 7 times a night. Yes, this is true. Last night he woke up every 20 to 30 minutes. Not really needing anything, but just waking up. So, I have come to the conclusion that it is really time that he sleep. He needs it and Jason and I need it. I am so close collapsing at any moment it isn't even funny.
I know that Callen will cry; however, he is okay, it will not be in pain (physically). I will put his favorite cup in his bed with him and I have planned to leave a video playing low on his room so when he wakes up there is something. I also plan on setting my alarm at 2 and at 5 to check on him and rock and feed him if needed. I know that this is not necessary; however, if he is awake at these times I will pick him up. If he is not awake I will let him sleep.
So, say a prayer for Callen and I tonight that we can get through this. Pray that I have strength to do this and that Callen will handle this transition well and that he will start resting peacefully. Also pray that Jason will be able to give me the support to do this. He is fine with Callen crying and doesn't see how it bothers me. Thanks for the prayers for this little family...tonight and always!
