Sleep, as defined by Wikipedia, is the state of natural rest observed in humans....regular sleep is necessary for survival. Apparently Maeve's literacy level has not allowed her to peruse the above site or all the literature supporting Wikipedia's statement. Or she thinks "necessary" is up for debate!
I did not think the necessities for survival really required so much coaching. Lets see, breathing, sucking, swallowing....she seemed to figure these things out just fine. WHY can't she figure out the sleep.
Maeve has taken to waking in the middle of the night and crawling around the bed. Mostly on top of me. You ask, "why is she in bed with you?" Well the answer to that is, I'm trying to get as much freakin' sleep as possible. This tired body is not even willing to get out of bed and take the few steps the the crib any more. Mark is enrolled in our night-time routine now and is experiencing the sleep deprevation more now too.
After some further internet investigation (which of course has the answers to everything) I believe I may have diagnosed Maeve - Maeve has Morvan's syndrome which is people born with the rare genetic disorder Morvan’s fibrillary chorea orcan. Therese folks can go without sleep for several months at a time. This must be her! We're going to the doctor's office tomorrow, I'll run it by him.
PS - I'm really joking about the Morvan's syndrome...just in case you midwesterner's didn't get that!
