WEEK: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, MONTH: SEPT02 Week Seven Aug 18-24 New Record for Longest week! Carter is very much a lap baby, when he is awake he is unhappy unless he is being carried in someone's arms. When he is sleeping he is happiest on one of our chests. The trick is to figure out how to transfer him from chest to somewhere else without waking him up! We are finding that there is no way to change Carter's schedule before he is ready. All of our efforts to keep him up during the day and trying to make him sleep at night ended in complete failure. We will do our best and wait it out. Sunday AUG 18 Overnight Carter only slept on Stacy's chest. They slept in the sunroom all night, because he was fussy anywhere else. We are doing that more and more, just to get some sleep. During the day Grandma and Grampa Patten came up and watched Carter while Brad and Stacy went to their first movie in months. We saw The Bourne Identity, which was great, but Stacy was distracted and wanted to get home. Tuesday AUG 20 Tried driving Carter around to get him to fall asleep. He is still turned around on his days and nights so he is up all night. Drive didn't work. Stacy was very excited that Carter slept long enough to let her get a shower today. Believe it or not that is a luxury that doesn't some every day anymore for Stacy. She visited her work and Brad's and stayed long enough for him to get mildly fussy at each location then made her retreat. Wednesday AUG 21 Fussy most of the day and night. Wouldn't sleep until the early morning and then only on Stacy's chest. Thursday AUG 22 Actually not a bad night. Carter was up several times to eat but went back to sleep without too much trouble. Stacy started Infant Massage today. It may seem silly but have you read this Journal??? Then you know we will try anything! Friday AUG 23 For some reason Carter likes Friday nights. He has had three good Friday nights in a row. Not such great days but Brad and Stacy slept in our own beds and Carter slept the whole night in the nursery, for the first time ever! Saturday AUG 24 Slept on and off all night and day. Fussy when awake.
