"It may be difficult for parents of postcolicky infants after four months of age to eliminate frequent night wakings and lengthen sleep durations. If a child fails to learn to fall asleep unassisted, the result is sleep fragmentation or sleep deprivation driven by intermittent positive parental reinforcement. This causes fatigue-driven fussiness long after the colic has resolved, which ultimately creates an overtired family."
Pyre wakes about once every hour or two at night.
I had some really positive interviews this week. The flights were good and I felt the interviews went really well. I got along well with the faculty and would love to hear back from them soon. Hopefully an offer will be in the future.
Rebecca suffered a bit at home. It wasn't impossible, but running on four hours of sleep each night can be tiring, especially when there isn't a second parent to help [and Paela suffered from nightmares about bees a couple of nights...two crying children at one in the morning is trying of anyone's patience]. But I was more than happy to see my family again.
