At least in our household. I don't pretend that I'm the only mom whose got issues with sleep with their kids, but it certainly feels that way when you haven't had a decent night's sleep in over 7 months.

When Lyla was born we made the decision to cosleep. Well, not so much made the decision as mommy had 7 hours of sleep in 7 days and couldn't take it anymore so pulled baby into her bed. Well fast forward 7 months and it used to go well. We'd sleep pretty good together but lately Lyla has been waking up every hour or so to nurse. Every time I blink wrong she wakes and wants to nurse. And now she isn't even sleepig in so I am getting 6 maybe 7 hours of interrupted sleep a night. I feel like I am losing my mind.

We decided to start getting her to sleep in her crib a couple weeks ago and let's just say it hasn't been easy. When she finally does sleep in there, I lay awake for hours just missing her. I never though MY ability to sleep would be an issue!

Well the middle-of-the-night waking have been awful as well. The hubby has been helping out but it's been ugly. Let's just say that neither of us are the nicest people at 2am. Add to that the fact that apparently my husband can't tell the difference between a full bottle and an empty one (somehow administering it incorrectly) and, well, this sleep situation has reached a fever pitch. As of the last couple of nights, she's been back to sleeping with me and at this rate I hope she goes to college locally because I don't want to have to move so she can go to sleep with me.

Oh well, maybe someday I will have a dream or two again. Not tonight.
