Awake

I'm up in the middle of the night...
Amber seems to need to eat around midnight after 4ish hours of sleep.  Then she pretty easily (not really easily) goes back to sleep until about 4 or 5 AM to eat again.  She'll sleep until 7 or 8 ish but she's also not ravenous at that time.  Then nap time is 10 and she'll eat right before that for a decent 10 minutes (she nibbles here and there in the morning).  No solid food yet in the morning (would that even help?).  I just can't figure out why she needs to eat all night long.
I went to bed early tonight and last night to try to catch up on some much needed sleep and tonight it's biting me in the fanny cuz I'm up now at 1:30 not able to go back to sleep.
She eats dinner at 5:30 or 6 and then gets around 5oz of milk between 7 and 8 PM before going to bed.  Lunch is at Noon and a snack before nap time at 3ish.  Have you seen her?  Is she just trying to keep that chubby figure or what?
We're tired of waking up every few hours, be it to eat or just cuz she can't soothe herself back to sleep too well yet.  I saw myself in the mirror today after a long day at work and I looked as bad as I felt.  Whoo!  I'm gonna need to wear makeup when I go out from now on cuz I'm like night of the living dead over here!
Poor Ken- he's starting to feel the effects of the broken-up sleep, too.  He's still my trooper though and sometimes we laugh in the middle of the night.  Amber is pretty cute- she reaches for him, sometimes lunges, until he pays attention to her (unless he's asleep- then I just have to hold her and put her back to bed when she's full). 
I think I'm starting to feel like I could go back to sleep now, so I'll sign off here.  Crazy baby schedule!  And I think I want more.  Remember what you're supposed to do when I say that?!
