I haven't posted about this yet because I was hoping that it would stop. I know that complaining about it will make me look like the world's worst Mommy but I can't help it. DD has been sleeping through the night (except the occassional ear infection, teething, etc that comes along with a baby) since she was 8 weeks old. Well, for the last 2 months or so (it has gone one for so long that I have lost count) she has been waking up at least once a night. Usually about an hour after I go to bed and almost always for cup. The incessant "CCCUUUUUuuuuupppp, Mommy" for what seems like hours on end. I know if sounds petty when there are hundreds of Mommy's out there who would kill for a year and a half of sleeping nights. I am spoiled....sue me.

I have been wracking my brain to try and figure out what it is all about. She was NEVER put to bed with a bottle. [That is a whole 'nother soap box tangent in its self] I have no idea where this "I have to have a cup in the middle of the night" is coming from. At least it is just water, but boy am I in trouble when potty training time comes. I thought maybe it was her big girl bed, but no...she was sleeping fine before. Was it the bookcase that I moved in there? No she was waking up before it was put in there. Maybe she is getting too much sleep at daycare? Nope, she did the same thing after limiting her naps over the long weekend. All I know is that it is getting old. I even took her to the Dr because I thought that she might have an ear infection again. Not that either. I am sure the Dr laughed all the way to the bank with that check. I should be thankful that the waking up multiple times throughout the night has stopped. That was about to drive me batty. I wouldn't really care that she wanted her cup if it wasn't right where she could reach it. The kid is over 2 years old now. She is big enough to roll over and get it herself, but NOOOO Mommy has to give it to her and put it back again before she falls back asleep before I can get to the door. Little booger. And before you say it...crying it out doesn't help. She will go on forever. And then I end up with 2 little ones screaming because she wakes up DS.

I am at the end of my rope. I just can't figure it out. If anyone has any suggestions I owuld love to hear them.

Here's keeping my fingers crossed that I get some sleep tonight.
