Sleepless

My formerly good sleeper has stopped sleeping.  Much.  during the day she'll sleep for 30 minutes at a time.  At night, anywhere from 1-3 hours.  Only nursing her gets her back to sleep, otherwise she screams and thrashes about.

It feels like torture to be sleep deprived, especially when waking up after being deeply asleep.  And it's frustrating to know that we were in the good sleep zone, that she could put herself to sleep and sleep for 6 hours at a time - and now, it's crap.

The book I'm reading: "At four months babies should be able to sleep about eight hours at night without a feeding".  Screw you Sleep Lady.

So I'm bitching about it because it sucks.  And I'm eating chocolate.

Shorts

The weather being so beautiful and warm, I decided to dress Ivy in short-overalls today.  She, of course, looks adorable, but when I was getting her out of the car seat to go get coffee, she looked at her bare knees and said "I need my pants".  I guess she has no idea what shorts are.

Niceland

So it looks like we are set to go to Iceland, Reykjavik to be exact, in the next couple of weeks.  I have no idea what to wear in 35 degree weather, or how to dress a toddler and an infant for the very cold (for all of you from Minnesota, 35 degrees is cold to us sensitive Californians...)

I am excited and apprehensive.  We have not traveled with either kid yet, Ivy went on road trips when she was much younger and there was a substantial amount of crying about being strapped into a car seat for hours on end.  A 10 hour plane ride should be fun!!

I've always wanted to see Iceland, so it should be an adventure, even if we don't get to do it up the way I'd like.  I will let you know if I see any elves or Bjork.
