Ava has been on this schedule for about two weeks now.  And that, my friends, is why I'm tired.  I've been researching ways to get her to sleep through the night again.  Almost all involve "crying it out" which is exhausting for everyone.  I could manage the nights better if she took lengthy naps during the day.  But three 30 minute naps don't give me much rest.  I'm hoping she switches back to sleeping through the night any night now....

OMG Ava's world sounds exhausting. She might have her daddy's on-the-go disposition! Hopefully longer stretches of sleep are in your future. :) You are doing great momma!
