Sleep Deprived


Sam has lately fallen asleep on her side and perpedicular to the long part of the bed. She sure is cute when she sleeps. I wish it would last through the night.

The last couple of weeks have been extremely exhausting. I know most moms go through this but I cannot believe how tired I am right now. Sam has not been sleeping well at all. She gets up at least 2 or 3 times a night and by 5 in the morning she wants to eat. I swear she eats all of the time. So, last night Earl and I decided to let her cry it out. She woke at 3:30 in the morning and we just let her cry. She cried until 5 in the morning. She finally fell asleep and slept until 7. Then she went back to bed and slept until 9. So thank goodness for that because so did Nadya. If anyone has any suggestions as to how to get her to sleep better, I'm all for ideas.
I hope that she does start sleeping soon. I'm at my wits end.

I thought that these were cute pictures of the girls. They are getting so big and they love to be together. Sam is sitting up better each day. I can't believe how fast the time goes.

I'm so sorry to hear that...I have been there numerous times. I think you have done the right thing. Eventually she will learn that she needs to comfort herself at night, and then in the day she can get all the food and love that she needs:) Hang in there!

What a small world. Rachel was in my ward out here before they moved to St. George. She was an awesome Primary Pres! I was bummed when they moved. Anyway, the tutu's are pretty easy. I will send you the tutorial that I found and kind of followed. Actually there were a few that I found and I just meshed them all together and did it the way I liked best.

One day you will get sleep! Just enjoy it while they are young, even though you are exhausted!
