Ah sleep. Babies and sleep. Babies and no sleep. Sleeeeeppppp….zzzzzzz…..sorry, what was I saying? It is apt that sleep should form the subject of my second blog as it is a subject that consumes my every waking moment these days (and there are a lot of them, I can tell you). I could write a PhD on the subject on infant sleep patterns: “Maybe if I catch him at 40 minutes just as he is transitioning from Phase I to Phase II I’ll be able to get him to sleep longer…but, how do I know it’s Phase II again? Oh yeah, when the eyes are darting back and forth under the eyelids….is that REM or RAM? Or is RAM something to do with computers? Bugger, it’s 40 minutes…the first sleep cycle is coming to a close…maybe I can hold his arms through the jolts. Shush, shush. Pat, pat. Shush, shush. Pat, pat. Nope. He’s awake.”
