The Little Baby Who Didn’t Sleep

You know, I was really hoping that Baby Boy would start sleeping through the night. For a while it looked like he was improving. He’d go to bed at 8:00 and wake up at 2:00 a.m. for his feeding. Very manageable. But now he’s waking up at midnight and at 3:00 a.m. AND at 5:00 a.m. Not good. Yesterday I was one hurting puppy, up since 4:00 a.m. because when you get up at 5:00 a.m. anyway, what’s the point in going back to sleep? It still seems to be gas-related. Even though I give him gas drops before each feeding at night, it doesn’t seem to be helping.

Baby Maalox anyone?

Sweet Savage Sven (Irish-Viking book) is coming along and I should have that proposal done this month. Thanks to Robyn for the title suggestion. It makes me smile every time I open the computer file. Even though the hero’s name is Tharand. He is turning out to be one tortured man. My heart goes out to him, and hopefully the heroine will learn to love him.

Then it’s on to Ewan’s story idea. I know what I want to accomplish with him, but my early drafts weren’t right. I’m very in tune with my gut instincts and they haven’t let me down so far. So we’ll try to get a proposal for him.

Saturday at 3:00 p.m. I’ll be down in Norfolk, VA at the MacArthur Center Mall Barnes and Noble signing copies of Her Warrior King. If anyone is heading southside, I’d love to see you!

Back on the subject of babies-who-do-not-sleep, does anyone have any baby voodoo magic that I could use on Baby Boy to get him to sleep through the night, or at least go more than 4 hours? The rice cereal isn’t helping any more. I’m not sure if I need to give it to him later at night. Thoughts?
