Sigh. Second time moms, give us some hope? This is just a phase right? LO isn't really dropping down to one nap a day yet, is she?
Typically when they go down to one nap for keeps, they drop the morning nap. So I definitely think we are all in a shitty phase. If N wakes up before 4:00-5:00 in the evening, it is an(extra) terrible night because he is up until bedtime 8:30. If he takes shorter naps and we can squeeze in a little cat nap around 5:30, it goes much better. Today he woke up from nap #2 at 3:30, so I'm hoping he can go back down one last time. He is always changing. Some days we can just lay him down wide awake. Other days I am rocking, swaying, lightly shaking, all while blaring baby got colic in his ear and tiptoeing out of the room behind me, only to have him start screaming within a few seconds.
