When we were house hunting two years ago, we brought along a tape measure to make sure that there was room to get out of bed with a pack and play next to it in at least one of the bedrooms. Because I am not a good cosleeper either but I am all about having the baby in our room so that the only person she wakes up at night is me. Because whoever said that older (and by older I mean my 3 and 2 year olds) children will sleep through a baby crying enough to wake mama and bring her down the hall into their room lied and the only thing worse than an exhausted mama with three busy, bright-eyed children is the same mama with three exhausted children. It's a little tight right now but we're making it work. And as soon as she starts only waking up once or twice a night, out she goes!<br /><br />And congratulations on your newest!kharkingnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1669762298855511295.post-7968397636544155172013-10-31T19:23:18.566-06:002013-10-31T19:23:18.566-06:00In my mind, I already left you a comment to tell y...In my mind, I already left you a comment to tell you how much I appreciated this post (but I probably clicked preview instead of publish or something silly like that in my sleep deprived state). But then I stopped by again to link it to my 5 Favorites and didn't see my comment, so I wanted to make sure you knew: right on.

I'm shocked at what a tantrumming child I act like when I can't get a fussy infant back to sleep. I'm so short on patience it's embarrassing.

Now mine are all old enough to manage themselves for a bit in the morning until crabby Mommy can sleep a little and be nice Mommy. Except for when she's stumbling out of bed at the ungodly hour of 6-ish to yell at the noise making offender who is not respecting the "don't bother Mommy until the clock starts with 7" rule on the one morning in weeks that there has been nothing dragging us out of bed early. Have you tried Vicks Vapor Rub for your snotty baby? I swear by that stuff.Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02999838147173390906noreply@blogger.com
