Ok so prior to today I had never been a big proponent for daylight savings time (DST).  Although I know many people enjoy the extra hour of sleep in the fall & more sun in the spring, there is no true benefit to it.  I am constantly in debate with people over it.  If your interested you can check these out http://www.standardtime.com/ or http://www.mnn.com/green-tech/research-innovations/stories/do-we-still-need-daylight-saving-time.  But I digress. 

As of today I ABSOLUTELY DESPISE DST!!!  After tons of hard work & dedication, Addy always slept until 7am (sometimes a glorious 7:30am).  This worked great because I do a dreamfeed around 10pm to get her through the night & am in bed by 11.  Although she wakes once or twice, all I usually have to do is re-wrap (still haven't been able to move past the stupid swaddle) her or put her pacifier in & she goes back down.  As of today that is no longer the case.  So there I was, awake at 6am feeding my wide awake happy baby.  And this was after a not so fantastic night (sleep regression perhaps??!) of waking up & not going back down.  So now I will be spending the next month trying to get her to sleep until the new 7am & I'm not happy about it!!  Sorry for the vent...a little sleepy & cranky.

    You can always move to Arizona where we don't observe Daylight Savings Time! The only thing I have to worry about it not calling my parents on the West Coast too early for half the year.

    You're an amazing mom, and I'm sure you'll be able to help Addy adjust in no time. Good luck!
