Sleep depra"what"

This weekend proved to be a long one. Saturday night was the first really rough night that Kara has had. She was awake nearly all night, finally falling to sleep at around 4am. Needless to say, we were pretty exhausted on Sunday. It's probably the first time I've slept till 11am since....well I don't know when.

To top things off, Kara stayed awake all day too, so we had to do a lot of holding and soothing. We felt bad for her though because there's not a lot we can do....it was gas/instestinal distress that was bothering here. You can put your hand on her stomach and just feel her guts gurgling...poor baby. She finally fell asleep at about 9pm last night and we pretty much immediately got into bed (sleep when she sleeps!!). She did OK through the night, waking up a few times, but mostly sleeping. It seems like things are a lot better today, now that we've had her on a constant regimine of Gripe Water which is suppose to sooth her stomach.

Things aren't too rough though. Kara did have her first play date last week with Ava Railey (apparently I don't know how to speell according to her Dad because I got it wrong with 'Eva' the first time I posted this). They had a great time....sleeping.
