Now that the baby’s more active and awake/alert more often, we find that she has superhearing. She’s in her room next door to ours, door closed, and Mr. W showering, brushing his teeth, shaving in our restroom woke her up and kept her awake until the noise died down. It was a little early for her next feeding, but as she was up and crying for it, I fed her anyway. While in there, I realized I can hear downstairs breakfast dishes clinking, faucet, coffeemaker, etc. I wish she weren’t such a light sleeper. The cat’s routine yowling after he eats, which yowling he does right outside her door (I can’t stop him) already startles her awake, altho if he yowls less than 10 times she goes back to sleep. It seems that consistent morning noise (shower, when I pumped in our room for 15 mins) keeps her up long enough and she lays on her back thrashing around, kicking her legs, throwing her arms in the air through it, which wakes her up and keeps her up. *sigh* Mornings are hard, especially when she cuts her sleep short, cuz that cuts my sleep short. Right now, by appearance on the baby IP monitor, my typing downstairs is keeping her up; when I stop, she stops. And I’m typing as gently as I can.
