My Cup Runneth Over

I adore my children. I am so blessed and appreciative to have completed my family and be able to be mommy to my sweet girls and our sweet boy. He brings us such joy with his gummy smiles and his emerging personality. He has this LOUD voice that sounds like a teradactyl and is rarely quiet. It is so cute and of course I love him to pieces...with his piercing BLUE eyes ( my only one to have them). Having said that, I am at a loss about his sleeping...or lack thereof. Is it hard to believe that he is my only one out of 4 to have done this? I cannot remember a night after the first month or so that my others woke up so frequently. I am just plumb tuckered out. I am surviving through the grace of God. I just wish I knew what to do to help him learn how to stay asleep or soothe himself back to sleep instead of the freqent wakings. I just can't let him cry yet and I don't want to upset everyone else's sleep. But goodness, it feels like I will never get to sleep again!

I will pray you get a good night's sleep soon. Thanks for being honest, though, about how hard it is sometimes. I remember struggling with Camryn over sleep, nursing, etc., and then looking around at all of my other friends whose "perfect" babies slept through the night by one month, breastfed like champs, and never, ever cried! They are a JOY, but it's not always fun! Thinking about you!
