Blame it on the heat

There are many things on which I may blame Audrey's tendancy to sleep for just a few hours during the night. Teething, growing, not having had enough milk, having too much vegetable at dinnertime, etc. One of the most perrenial, though, is temperature. I'm always thinking she might be too hot or too cold - we've been using sleep sacks (wearable balnkets) at night to keep her warm, but when she was teething she was running a low fever and seemed to be burning up in her sleep sack. So I stopped putting it on her for a few nights. Plus it had gotten warmer (no more temps in the 30's at night) so it didn't seem she needed it. Until last night when it seemed uncommonly cold. And she woke up every 2 hours and wanted to be cuddled up to me all night.

In the morning, Paul said we had forgotten to turn on the heat last night - it's warm during the day so we open the doors (and turn off the heat). We had grad group over last night so even as the evening temps dropped, out house with a dozen people in it remained a toasty 75 degrees. We even opened the windows. Then we closed everything up and went to bed. But we didn't turn the heat back on. So maybe that's why she was up so much...who knows!
