been a while:

So, I've been slacking off when it comes to doing my Blog... big surprise! So much is going on around here I don't even know where to start! We finally got Zander a new bed so that Grace could have the crib. And it's been a nightmare! He will not sleep through the night. I know that he used to wake up in his crib but he would just go back to bed. Now he gets out of bed and stands at the door screaming his head off. We don't close his door, we have a gate across so that we can peak in on him if we feel the need. Luckily he doesn't wake up Grace when he does this. He wakes us up and both DH and I are feeling it! It's hard enough that I get up a couple of times a night to feed the baby but when I am getting up another couple of times to put Zan back to bed and sometimes sitting with him to make sure he's asleep, it makes the next day very difficult! Not only are night times difficult, but now naptime for him is almost non-existant! Yesterday I was so frustrated because he was being super whiney that I finally put him in his bed, and shut the door! He cried and yelled for about 15 minutes but then fell asleep. I guess during the day, this is what I will have to do. I hate doing it though, listening to your little boy so upset is difficult, but I guess it's either that, or lose my mind! I've been so tired lately and in a way, I've done it to myself. Friday night, I had a night out with my BFF. We took the train into the T-dot and went to the NKOTB concert. Laugh all you like, but it was a great show and I wish I could go again, although it would be awesome to go in the afternoon so I am not up until 1:30 am. My DH got off lucky that night. The baby ate at 8:30 pm and was happy and cooing until she fell asleep at 10 or so. She didn't wake up to eat again until just after one, when I was on my way home. Luckily we had lots of milk pumped and Daddy could feed her. When I got home, I went straight for the pump! Missing two feedings can make a woman very uncomfortable. DH didn't mind it so much as I was starting to resemble Pamela Anderson, if you know what I mean! Anyway, we are still trying to catch up on missed sleep but it's just not happening... Any other moms out there have a struggle the the crib to bed transition????
