The gauntlet has been thrown down. Mommy vs. Mad Dog. Only one will prevail....
So Maddux is sticking to her vow to 'win' and sleep for only 40-minute naps during the day. In my opinion, Mommy ultimately wins because she is still sleeping 10-12 hours each night. However, this 40-minute thing has got to go. Not only does it make it difficult to get anything done around the house while she's cat-napping, but it throws her sleep-eat-wake schedule into a whirlwind and I'm forced to pick between routine and the clock. (Not that I follow the clock, but her napping schedule begs for a 2-hour window between feedings....not exactly what we should be doing at 3-months.) It frustrates me to no end because she normally goes down for a nap without a problem. Oh, she'll squawk for a moment or two, which is really amusing considering she the lack of effort she puts into her protest. But Maddux has the last laugh because 39 1/2 minutes after her last outburst, she's awake again.

With a face like that, how can you blame her!
Oh my I remember those days when Carter would just take cat naps. I know it is difficult, but Bev is right how can you not want to pick that cutie up. Congrats on your daughter. I am due to have another son in November so have been mentally preparing myself for no sleep again. I haven't been in touch with mom's from the boards for a long time. It is good to see some familiar faces again.
Congrats again.
Amy
