Jillian, for her general contentedness (at least compared to Wesley) is a nightmare to sleep next too. She makes more noises than anything that small should. The only thing I can think of that comes close is a puppy. How when they sleep they squeak and snort. Jillian does this in spades. In addition to squeaking and snorting she also squeals, coughs, whistles, snuffles, snores, gurgles, mews, sneezes, yelps, yips, and generally breathes loudly. She has that kind of mucusy breathing you find in Pugs, with their snorting and sneezing. During the day she seems mostly quiet, but at night it is quite the ruckus. Last night we were trying to decide if one or both of us would leave the room to sleep. Of course, last night she didn’t feel much like sleeping at all so I got to take the 2:30a-4a shift. We bounced, sang songs, shooshed, and swayed. I didn’t get much sleep but I feel much closer to her than I have since she was born. This is the first time I really felt like I was able to sooth her and help Amber get some sleep. I’m sure I’ll get more opportunities for sleepless nights.
