Working for the Weekend

This has been a hard week for me. I don't know why. Maybe it's because my son is not sleeping through the night and I don't have the heart to let him cry it out, therefore I get up with him (seriously) 5 or so times during the night. I know, right? He is a really good sleeper, takes several naps still during the day. Will drop off anywhere. Doesn't put up much of a fuss taking a nap. However, in the middle of the night he wants me to hold him, so I pick him up and he immediately goes right back to sleep. I put him down and he wakes up....ugh. If I bring him to my bed, lay him down, he never wakes up. The problem there: I have to sleep on eggshells afraid I'm going to roll over on him...still not getting any sleep. So this week I decided not to bring him to my bed. I would just get up with him a million times. Therefore, I'm working for the weekend. John and I are going to Kansas City tomorrow night for a concert - my parents are watching my kids - I hope they stocked up on their sleep.

How can I let that face cry.

Ahhh, if it matters, Kaylee didn't sleep through the night for a long time so I feel your pain. With Jennah, I actually made a bed beside her crib and slept in her room for a while. As long as she could see me, she was fine. You might want to give that a try.

I'm sorry Beth, that breaks my heart. I pray every night that both Luke & Kate sleep all night through. I know its exhausting. I wish I could help. Want Luke to spend the night with Aunt Sissy one night?

I feel ya, Beth. I can't do the cry it out thing either. When Kate cries for 5 minutes it feels like hours....just breaks my heart. At Kate's check up, the doctor said that their night and/or day sleep is very interrupted at this stage...I guess their brain is in overdrive...so I hope, for all of us, that this stage is over quickly!!

Have a great time this weekend...sounds like sooo much fun!! Hope you get lots of rest.

bless you heart! sleep deprivation and trying to be a good mommy sometimes don't mix well.

KC sounds like fun. What concert?
