There is a solution to this. We just have to get organized and figure it out. (and figure out a strategy that doesn't involve listening to heart-breaking cries OR waking up the neighbours) And this wasn't a normal night, it was worse than normal. It just happened that this night was the night I decided to keep a record of the events.
The night of February 18th 2013:
8:00 both in bed asleep
8:35 wake up Olivia
8:42 back to sleep Olivia
9:35 wake-up Olivia & Finn
9:40 Olivia back to sleep
9:59 Finn back to sleep
11:17 Finn wake-up
11:50 left Finn's room - still awake but very relaxed
12:00 Finn makes noise again
12:35 left Finn's room - he's mostly asleep
12:35 some peeps heard from Olivia - we didn't enter her room
12:37 some peeps heard from Olivia - we didn't enter her room
12:47 someone peeping - both? - I think in their sleep
12:49 now Finn's really yelling/crying
We decide to start Ferberizing as this situation's untenable. Where is that damn book?
1:09 update: full-on crazy screaming, this hurts my heart! Doing wild Internet searches for help. eg. Trying to Ferber can't stand it
1:24 Finn asleep - David calmed him out of his tantrum and now he's asleep
1:25 Finn crying again
1:30 No more crying
2:22 Olivia confusional? or crying? hitting head against bars, picked her up
2:30 Finn crying/kicking, re-wrapped, rocked, rubbed chest, back to sleep
2:40 Finn back asleep
3:13 David dancing with swaddled O, post good feed, her eyes open
3:30 Olivia asleep, on belly one arm out of swaddle
Do I dare try to sleep?
5:15 Finn wake-up he was pretty hungry, nursed and then bottle
5:40 left him calm and awake, he probably fell asleep again
7:15 Finn demanded to be gotten up
