It Finally Happened!

My Little Bear slept in his big boy bed last night. We set up a gate outside his door to keep him from wandering in the middle of the night. With the type of railings we have it is next to impossible to set up a gate to keep LB from going downstairs in the middle of the night, so we are keeping him in his room. It worked well! We told him that he was going to sleep in his big boy bed and the baby was going to sleep in the crib. He helped Mike set the crib on its highest setting and watched me put on the bumper pads and change the sheets. Baby Bear slept in the crib and nursed in the rocking chair instead of our bed. Oh my kiddos are growing up! I'll take some pictures of both kid's rooms in the next few days and post!

Yeah Sleep!

Two nights and a row and counting. Please oh please let it continue! Little Bear is already starting to have quite the social life. Tomorrow we have a birthday party for a friend of ours, not to mention a superbowl party on Sunday. Busy, busy we will be!

Sleep? What's that?

What a week. Typhoid Mary strikes again in our household. This time bringing upper respiratory/ear infections/asthma troubles to Little Bear. The poor thing has been so clogged up with junk he can't sleep. When he can't sleep, I can't sleep. When he doesn't sleep for 3 days, I don't sleep for 3 days. Oh, and Mike is out of town again. Luckily last night (we went back to the doctor for the 2nd time this week) and recieved more meds. THEY WORKED! He slept from 10 until I woke him at 6:20 this morning. I still have black circles, but I'm not as emotional and bitchy.
Keeping my fingers crossed that I can sleep for 8 hours tonight. Wish me luck!

Sleep Deprived

Oh will I ever get a good nights sleep again? Little Bear is teething and feverish and screaming for something close to three hours a night. I think I had 3 hours of sleep. This is reminiscent of last August and September!
Bad mommy that I am, is deciding whether or not Benedryl at bedtime would be such a bad thing this evening.
