5:00 a.m.

Oh, how I loathe 5:00 a.m.
When I get up at 5:00 a.m. my eyes water and my head aches. It's hours before I feel really awake, and the fatigue lingers all day. So it really sucks that Andrew has chosen 5:00 a.m. as his new wake-up time.
I am not a good mother at 5:00 a.m. I am irritable and impatient. I can think only of sleep and when I can get some more. "How soon can I get you to take a nap?" I think obsessively while I watch my baby play.
A 7:00 wake-up time would be ideal. I would grudgingly accept 6:00. But not 5:00. Please not 5:00.

Oh 5am really sucks :-( Maybe it's just a phase? I remember my daughter, around 8 months, started to wake up really early and I did everything to get her to go back to sleep, nursed, rocked, sang, rocked some more...until after a while she stopped wanting to be awake that early. I hope this is the case for you too! Hang in there (hugs)
No fun! I hope it's just a phase. My daughter was a bit older when she started her 5 a.m. wake-up, which became our way of life. We left for a nice while, but I noticed it's back. Well, 5:45 a.m., but still too early.
SUCKY! and been there. Sofias favourite time of day is 5 am. We tried everything we could think of to break her of the habit but came up with nothing. With Maizie I just ignore her and she plays quietly until she falls back asleep. Sometimes it's hard cause she sleeps beside me but I'm getting really good at playing possum!
Good luck! Sometimes it's just a change of season thing. Hopefully it doesn't last too long. I refuse to speak until 630. So I get up with the kid but I say nothing! LOL
