Second Verse, Same as the First

Seems to be the story of my life and Nico's sleep. We are back to under 10hrs a day (boy, I didn't realize how much I liked 10½ *sigh*) and I just got the follow-up call from the sleep behavoralist who consulted with one of her colleagues and I heard "Yep, you are doing everything we both would recommend". She is recommending that I definitely get him into see the pediatric sleep specialist to see if it is a hardwiring issue if there isn't some medical thing that can be done because behavioral training is not working.

And I still haven't heard back from the ASD clinic after the last "Say yes now or who knows when we can get you in" debacle. So I'm calling them up to see what the deal is and calling up Dr Cohen to see if he can get me the referral now to the pediatric sleep specialist since there is probably a waitlist for that so this way we can get the ball rolling there.

Poor Mark, I'm going to continue to be cranky about how much of my life this is eating up, especially since I've yet to hear anything other than 'I think you are doing everything right and have you considered he's just hardwired to not need as much sleep'. Poor guy also ended up staying up with Nico last night as I feel in bed at 9p exhausted. I took Nico with me for an hour but all he did was run all over the place so Mark came and got him at 10p and took over until he crashed around 11p. I'm working on my schedule now and in order to do everything I need/want to do in the morning before he wakes up, I really need to be getting up at 5:30a (I've been doing 6a but can't find time to dress and make-up before waking him at 7a) especially because I need to do meditation and affirmation with the big boys before we wake up Nico and 6:45a is already asking a lot of them but they are willing right now because they don't want to give it up which is good but still.

Ugh!
