Another rough night last night with August waking at 11:30, and pretty much every hour after that.  Brought him into my bed at 2.  He was awake from 3 to 4 babbling next to me.  Finally really settled down at 5, which was precisely when Elek started coughing.  Did a breathing treatment for 20 minutes and then crawled back into bed.  What a night!  I texted my friend Leela whose son Brady is a couple weeks older than August since I had remembered her saying that Brady wasn't sleeping well.  She told me it lasted about a week and that she did a whole bunch of research on sleep regression online and found out that good sleepers  turning bad was pretty common at this age.  Of course I immediately ran to my computer to do the same search and sure enough, my misery loves company self was pleased to see that I am not alone!  Hundreds of moms reporting the exact same torturous sleep schedules!  We are at about a week of poor sleep now so fingers crossed that there will soon be a light at the end of the tunnel!  Also, no clue why Elek's coughing fits are back.  Doing everything the exact same as I had done previous nights.  Shower, breathing tx, Benadryl, raised head of bed.  I'm stumped!

August started sucking on his fingers a couple weeks ago.  Usually his middle and ring finger, leaving the other 3 to form the "I love you" sign :)  Neither Elek nor B ever sucked their fingers and while I think it is just so cute when Gus does it now, I know I am going to be HATING it when he is a toddler.  Oh well, will cross that bridge when we come to it!

Luckily August had one medium poo and one big one this morning....finally!  (as you can see I am using this blog to document my children's bowel movements as well so that I can keep track of their poop schedules if I ever need to report anything to their Doctor).

Time to clean the house!  Don't worry, it is actually pretty cathartic.  Especially when Beyonce Radio is playing on Pandora :)
