Sleep: Slight Return
May. 31st, 2024 10:28 am6 weeks ago I posted about how sleep was, after 6 years of being terrible, getting better.
We then had 15 days of Gideon sleeping appallingly, waking up multiple times per night, and no explanation about why he was so grumpy. Until his eardrum exploded and it turned out his cold had turned into an ear infection for the first time in a year.
And then we had three weeks of Sophia having a cough that woke her up multiple times every single night. With me having to make her a pillow throne so she could sleep semi-upright, and put her back on it multiple times a night.
Which merged into two weeks of Gideon doing likewise.
Which brings us to this week. When, on Tuesday, for the first time since I wrote that post, what feels like an age of the earth ago, they both slept through the night. And then on Wednesday Gideon's cough woke him up three times before we gave up and I swapped beds with him.
And then, although Gideon still has a cough, they slept through the night again last night.
And today I feel vaguely human again for the first time in 6 weeks.
Fingers crossed his cold finally goes away over the next couple of days, and this sleep thing continues.
