Then along came the big bad night. It was so very hard for the beautiful baby to sleep at night.
His mommy prayed and prayed that he would be able to fall fast asleep so that she could hear his beautiful baby snores.
Anyone out there have a special ending to this story that would save this mommy some serious brain cells???????

Jess, he's precious. And I wish there was something that worked for us. The beginning is the worst. You won't even remember these couple of months. Seriously, you are so tired that you will think back and say, "I can't even remember Easter 2009." I don't have any real memories of Henry until June-ish. Everything before that is a complete fog.
But I know you are smart, so set boundaries early. I have too many friends who co-slept (which is great), but they never broke it and now their 2-yr-old sleeps in bed with them.
And when you are ready, and I'm SERIOUS, please let me know when I can give you a little break. Honestly, when you are ready, maybe a Sunday after church, you can leave Eli with me, and I'll give Henry to my parents so I can focus solely on Eli. You can go home, rest or do whatever it is you need to do. And whenever you are ready, you can come back and get little Eli. Or I can go to your house, I just know it's hard to sleep when someone's sitting in your living room (at least that's how it always was with me).
Love ya girl.
Have you tried any music or anything? I know for Parker, we use a lullaby cd from Baby Einstein. Also, when Parker first came home, we had a mama bear that plays the sound of the womb and the mommy heart beat, Parker loved it!
My other thoughts, sleep when he naps! I had to do that a lot because nights were rough at times with Parker!
Hang in there. Let me know if you need a visit from one Parker and his mommy, we'd love to come over and hang out!
Been there, done that...I know how you are feeling...it is so hard:) Just remain calm and rock him, love him, cuddle him, dirve him around in the car if you have to, and it will pass (this is just a phase)...Promise:) Kiss his little sweet head for us:)
Oh friend. Ditto to what Ali said. As you know, Owen was born Dec 22, and I have ZERO memories of Christmas 2007! COMPLETE FOG. All I will say is I love you, and this will eventually pass even though it doesn't seem like it EVER will, and if at the end of the day (or night) you are alive and Eli is alive then you are a SUCCESS!!!
