no more sleeping ever?

...well, for another 3-4 months? Seriously? Hmm...that's what Dr. S. said could happen. Today we had our 6 month well check up (a couple of weeks late..) and I brought up the fact that Chloë has decided sleep is overrated. Dr. S. said some babies who seemed to be such good sleepers will go through a phase, from, oh..say, 5-6 months till about 9 or so months where they're just sucky sleepers..then they get back on track. She said..no worries, it's just temporary, just a phase. She was really trying to be really reassuring..saying something I've read/heard countless times "Remember, it's all just temporary..it's a phase and it'll pass." But..seriously? Another 3 months of potentially not sleeping? I have permanent bags under my eyes as it is...Let's keep hoping when Dr. S. said another 3 months, she meant another 3 days, or 3 weeks. But please, not 3 months!

PS. On a side note, Chloë is doing well, and she's growing nicely, meeting all expected milestones, and has been given the green light for solids. Yay, more to come on that I'm sure, though dad has already said matter of factly: "Solids scare me."
