Exhaustion is An Understatement
Sleep has become a fairy tale in our house. Sweet Boogie sleeps as deeply and as beautifully as Princess Aurora, and Bubby…. Screams. And screams. And screams. Bedtime routine is a breeze most of the time, we bathe every 3rd day, brush teeth and hair, put on jammies, read books and devotional, hugs and kisses, and then Bubby gets his mommy milk time. For the most part, both kids go to sleep fairly well and Bubby sleeps until midnight or 1am. Or if my eyes close and I start drifting off to dreamland, Bubby’s “mommy is asleep!” censor goes off and all hell breaks loose…. You may think I’m kidding,…

To Co-Sleeping, With Love – Guest Post
It’s that time again! I’m still really behind and have two more guest posts coming after this, I promise! Erin contacted me wanting to write a post about co-sleeping. Her story hits SO close to home, as I’m sure my readers remember! We co-slept with Boogie for a long time, and now at 3, she sleeps independently and actually prefers NOT to have any cuddles at night (how crazy is that?!). Our son is a CRAZY sleeper, so we have not continued co-sleeping with him, but even still, sleep has been a battle in our house. And as always, please remember that if you DO choose to co-sleep, do so…

What a Monster!
My sweet little boy has been a bit of a monster this week… I’m sure you have noticed that I haven’t been posting as often as usual, and he would be the reason! I have pretty much held, wore, or laid with him 24/7 this week. I don’t know if it’s teething, a growth spurt, or him feeling yucky, but whatever it is, I am wore out! I need a mommy break, that’s for sure! So, please pray for us, pray that Bubby starts sleeping better again and that we can get him back into his crib (we moved him to his crib a month ago, 2 weeks in he…

Operation I Want My Bed Back
Yep… Operating I Want My Bed Back is under way! Last night was our first night getting Boogie to sleep in her own bed and in her own room. I’ve been fighting with myself as to whether or not this was the right time to do this or not. Boogie is 9 months old now and while I LOVE cuddling with her, she takes up SO much room in our bed, and she had started nursing ALL night long. The night before last I felt overwhelming peace that this decision was right, that not only Boogie was ready but I was ready to let my baby girl grow up. It’s…

Patience
Patience… that’s something I’m struggling with lately. We’ve started Boogie on a schedule of sorts, we’re not necessarily making her nap at the same time everyday, but we are having her nap every 2-3 hours. So far, it’s working fairly well, however, bedtime is an entirely different story. My girl sleeps GREAT… once she gets to sleep. After trying CIO for about an hour during a nap one day, I have decided that it’s really just NOT for us. Not only was it very upsetting for me, but Boogie was hysterical… gasping for air, turning purple. And that, I was not OK with. The plan is to have her nap…
