You will remember this alw...go to sleep dear baby!<br /><br />You will remember this always, but it wont seem quite so bad in retrospect... you'll only picture the sweet baby girl and some faint, distant memory of not sleeping much. <br /><br />I had been desperate enough on occasion to get the baby to sleep in her room and then go to another room and double baby gate the 3 of us in(me and the 2 toddlers) and then lay on the bed and doze while they played quietly around me. Or did the same thing with the baby nursing while I slept. pure blissful sleep.<br /><br />If it gets too bad, reach out for help and have someone from church come hold the fort while you nap. Better yet, have one mom take the boys out, and the other mom hold Ava while you nap upstairs. Us Moms from the 6-10 hour sleep club are more than willing. Just ask. <br /><br />Much love.<br />~ShannonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9954174.post-85573198481648765822011-08-08T13:00:47.747-07:002011-08-08T13:00:47.747-07:00I love how real you are about things.
