Finally!!

Max's sleeping habits had been getting worse and worse...he was waking up around 5 times in the middle of the night, and he needed me to help him back to sleep. Last week I decided that we would stay at my parent's house (because I live in a condo and cannot do that to my neighbours) and let the little dude cry it out. It did not work...he cried, and I was on the verge of tears listening to him cry...so I tried it two nights and two nights I picked him up to cuddle him back to sleep. So needless to say I have not been getting any sleep lately and my training hours are getting longer and longer!

Yesterday was a big day...I think I got three hours of sleep and then did a 180km ride with a brick run...I felt like I was 25 and had spent the night at the club partying it up. Thank goodness I perked up after about 50km (with a little help from my coach and her husband as they rode really hard back into Cochrane and I was trying to keep up). It was a beautiful day for a ride (the first one in weeks) and the date square in Bragg Creek helped me push the last half of the ride!

And then at night Max woke up 3 times between 8 and 9 which is even a lot for him! So I thought we were in for a bad night...but it turns out he just needed a little food and then he slept all the way until 3am! I couldn't believe it when I looked at the clock at 2am and he still hadn't woken up...I actually got up to make sure he was ok...and of course he was...he probably just knew his mama needed some sleep! I felt like a new person this morning!! My goodness what a little sleep does for my mood!

So I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this becomes the new pattern!
