It has been 4 years ...Ohhh sleep how I miss thee...<br />It has been 4 years since I have slept soundly, but that is just me and my wonky mind/body. I hear every shuffle, sneeze, cough, move, etc..I hope to one day catch up! It seems that you and Ian are doing a great job and keep up with what ever works, I am a creature of habit with my trio. We still have strict nap times, strict meal times and if plans interfere then we do not do said event, etc. I guess I am OCD but since my kids were born they have been on schedules and I commend you for still nursing too! I did it with the twins for 8 months and with Violet until 13 months. You are doing an awesome job! Hugs to Lem and Ian and yourself.

Kills me. My husband doesn't get it either. I start trying to figure out what I did "wrong" and why it didn't add up right. I know that it means she probably isn't going to have a very restful night which means I won't either. It's a mom thing I guess :) Laurahttp://wonderlandpapers.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4400409055924139965.post-2419045697163985072013-03-12T10:15:31.282-07:002013-03-12T10:15:31.282-07:00Ugh this sounds EXACTLY like me! My husband makes...Ugh this sounds EXACTLY like me! My husband makes fun of me and constantly asks me, "Why are you worrying? She's fine!" But, for some reason, it drives me bananas and when she pops up after 30 minutes it ruins my whole day because I know whatever plans we had will now either go out the window or she will be fussy or something while we are out and I will worry the whole time. I think it's one of the reasons I did not like being at home with her during my leave, it was like every day I was fighting for naps and I'm actually happy I only have to do that 2 days a week now! Ugh. Hang in there mama, we are in this together!!Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10071096768527336687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4400409055924139965.post-73422584900773046402013-03-12T10:13:09.268-07:002013-03-12T10:13:09.268-07:00Ours too!

She IS healthy and happy so why do we worry so much? Ugh!

I hate the inconsistency and I constantly try to repeat things from the "good" night the next night but it's seriously different every night, for absolutely no reason at all. I hate it! xoxoAllisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10071096768527336687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4400409055924139965.post-87696262287134718642013-03-12T07:13:41.783-07:002013-03-12T07:13:41.783-07:00I'm also in your boat.

I'm a SAHM and I hold her for naps. When I do we get good long naps and a happy baby.. When I don't we get 30 min crap naps and I have a gremlin on my hands all day and night. I was obsessed with finding her perfect wake time and getting her to sleep during "the window" and it made me crazy.I worry its bad for her development and being chronically tired will hurt her, but her pediatrician says shes fine. I've wondered why other moms got easy babies and we base our weekends around her sleep which is limiting. It's hard when you can't make sense of it and you just want the best for her. My new motto/mantra is "Let Lucy (my daughter) be Lucy". I'm with you :)Laurahttp://wonderlandpapers.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4400409055924139965.post-6395588979902617342013-03-12T05:56:40.913-07:002013-03-12T05:56:40.913-07:00You took the words right out of my mind, Allison! ...You took the words right out of my mind, Allison! I think the hardest part of parenting is figuring out what works best for you and your family. Even though with baby #2, this all feels new because it's different. I don't remember it being this way with my son. I just wrote an entry on how bad of a sleeper Amelia is. I don't know where I went "wrong" with getting her to sleep longer. I'm still struggling trying to get her to nap longer than 45mins and sleeping longer than 4 hours at night! The only thing I know that works is letting her sleep with us and nursing her whenever she wakes up. Luckily, even with the lack of sleep, she is still happy and healthy. Hang in there, mama!

And the inconsistency I think is the hardest part. Whenever E is at his worst sleep-wise, the next night he'll sleep so well and I have no idea why. It's hard, I'm right there with you.<br />But you're so right- it's so hard not to compare my baby to other babies, and it's even harder not to compare myself to other moms. We need to be in this together! Anna Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10371158910645266943noreply@blogger.com
