AWWWWWWWW guys..


You are all terrific friends to have.. I love ya all too

Things are going well and she is only waking up twice at night to nurse, so I am getting some sleep as well.

I am truly and abundantly blessed.

Only two times a night! WOW!!!!! Our daughter (17yrs old now) woke up 3 or 4 times every night until after she was a year old. Then our son came along 8 yrs later. That kid was up EVERY 30 minutes!! Poor baby had asthma. We knew something was wrong for him not to sleep any better than he did. Finally after he was about 6 months old, the dr. put him through all kinds of tests to check for reflux problems and other things. Finally he said that normally they don't diagnose one that young with asthma, but that is what Zach has. So we started the breathing treatments and he had to take steroids several times. Talk about being hyper! Give one a breathing treatment using albuterol and then pump them full of steroids on top of that LOL.

Tim, funny that you should comment on the good news Sarah is only up twice a night too. It's what I thought of yesterday but didn't respond to, also! My first had terrible colic for 8 weeks, she slept only 9 hours in a 24 hour period, and not all in a row, just a few hours here and there. I kept reading that new baby section in my books - she was supposed to be sleeping a lot more than that! I was a zombie those 8 weeks. And then she just suddenly started adding an hour or two per night, until she was sleeping for 14 straight hours per night. With a short nap during the day. It was if I had a different baby! We'd go check on her, my husband would put his hand by her mouth to see if she was breathing. Here was this kid that gave us such fits for 2 months and then gave us the best sleep we had ever had!!! It was sheer heaven to suddenly have even 6 or 8 hours in a row of solid sleep! But then her sister was a completely different story. She woke up every night, several times, until she was at least 8 or so. She still wakes up, talks in her sleep, calls for me, and she's 13 now! My oldest sleeps thru the worst storms (the former 14 hour a night infant sleeper) and my youngest hears everything - cars backfiring, the garbage truck, the mildest storm. Funny how two kids can be so different!!!

Mary,
Our son is 9 and his bed is still in our room. I guess he'll be in there until he's 40 LOL. After we brought him home we put him in his bed, but after about a week of him waking every 30 mins, my wife put him in bed with us. He slept with us until he was almost 2. We got him a twin sized bed and put it in our room. When we built the new house, we fixed up a room for him, but that didn't work. He spent a couple of sleepless nights in there and we moved his bed in our room. We've tried several times to put him back in there. Poor thing only slept 2 or 3 hrs. I just don't have the heart to make him stay in there, so needless to say, he's in our room until HE decides he's ready to move out LOL.

Wow, Tim you and your wife really have your hands full! I'd be opening windows in the dead of winter, playing music, leaving lights on, yanking covers, etc. LOL Naw, I wouldn't be that mean but I can see it's been a challenge for you all. My niece who's almost 4 has slept with her parents for over 2 years now. To the point where her room just became a play room. She never slept in her bed. Until they upgraded it to a big girl room. Now that she has a new bedroom set and could choose the theme - Hello Kitty - she wants to be back in her room. Now I know ages 4 and 9 are very different but that's what worked for her parents. I'll think of you the next night Laura wakes me up again. She always wants her own room, both my girls do, but she in particular wants to make sure i'm across the hall and she's not home alone (a fear of hers I think). I imagine vacations are rough for you all too!!!
