I haven't had many nights in the past 7 years (since Sam cam along and he was a night owl while Ben and Josh were Morning kids) where I have had more that 2-3 hours of sleep at night and hardly any of those are all at the same time. The days that I do get more it seems like a dream, but to be honest you just get use to it. I am hoping for you that things calm down and you get your rest. Good Luck and hey if by the family reunion the kids are still awake at night I'll take a turn staying up with them so you can get some sleep.DeeMomof6https://www.blogger.com/profile/08110818100841627306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3684576666930394056.post-40548761868995854752009-01-06T21:58:00.000-07:002009-01-06T21:58:00.000-07:00yeah, weren't you going to start solids this week?...yeah, weren't you going to start solids this week? how's that going? <BR/><BR/>a thought: pump a bottle or two, let joe take her for an afternoon if he can, and sleep away. or do it at night. whatever works, just so you can get a solid 5+ hours! gabby's doing good at night, and even then when she's fussing at 7am i'm still a grumpy momma, so i'm betting you're just frazzled right now! <BR/><BR/>give me a call if you want to get out, hit the mall or something.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14293031916155856775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3684576666930394056.post-90724408289731729742009-01-06T13:02:00.000-07:002009-01-06T13:02:00.000-07:00if she is back to eating constantly maybe start he...if she is back to eating constantly maybe start her on some cereal. Ainsley was doing that and I realized she's probably hungry. I've got some you can have. I bought the Gerber and it didn't agree with her. She's so sensitive. So I have a whole box that is needing to be used up. She seems to be okay with the Nestle brand.<BR/>I know the 'experts' say wait till 6 months but HELLO we know our kids, if she's hungry inbetween 'regular' feedings then milk just isn't enough anymore.juliette pouwerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12203861504310039778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3684576666930394056.post-66321695491130240982009-01-06T12:10:00.000-07:002009-01-06T12:10:00.000-07:00What you really need is a good wife to take care o...What you really need is a good wife to take care of all that stuff for you.<BR/><BR/>Seriously though sorry about the lack of sleep.

I don't do the crying it out thing, so the way i have coped is putting her in bed with us--sometimes i get more sleep that way and sometimes it backfires on me and i am up all night watching neal and eden doze away. Those nights are frustrating and i swear in my sleep deprivation that things will change and that maybe crying it out isn't so bad, but then in the morning when i am feeling a little better or after a nap, all that resentment is usually forgotten until it happens again :) for the most part, i think my body has adjusted to the wacky schedule i've had the last year and a half and even when E does sleep through the night (on those rare occasions) i still wake up!! that is truly irritating, but o'well, i think i've just accepted it as part of being a mom. i know that doesn't help you any--luckily eden is a GREAT napper, so that helps. good luck! i remember when eden was nursing falling asleep while nursing her...sorry i have no helpful advice, except she won't be nursing forever, if that is any consolation. :) hang in there.candicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16678253286435953114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3684576666930394056.post-66160000021255768042009-01-06T09:38:00.000-07:002009-01-06T09:38:00.000-07:00Hannah was like that.... still is. She's finally ...Hannah was like that.... still is. She's finally getting better at staying asleep all night, but she's 5. Maybe try giving Caitlyn a bottle of formula before bed. It might stay with her longer, then when she does wake up you'll have more milk. Just a thought. My milk was like water with Hannah. I think that was half the problem. Hang in there!!! She'll be screaming because she wants to wear make up in no time!!!!! xoxoherkimer famhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10064046026185775528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3684576666930394056.post-35147500683085212072009-01-06T02:36:00.000-07:002009-01-06T02:36:00.000-07:00Ahhh, hon - give it time.

THAT's when you will get the joy out of screaming BACK at them. LOL! Just kidding. I know....not funny. At least not just yet. Hang in there! Just know that we know how YOU feel.
