Eva and Elle are both sick. Last night Elle refused to go to sleep. Every single time we layed her down she screamed. We let her scream...we picked her up...we rocked her...we fed her...we gave her medicine. Nothing worked. Finally Jeremy got her to sleep in between us, I think that lasted an hour.
Then I got her to sleep on me in Jeremy's lazy boy for 2 or 3 hours, I'm not sure how long it actually was. It was extremely uncomfortable for me though...my neck is killing me. Then she woke up again and I fed her again and she went to sleep in her crib...finally, of course this included screaming but she actually fell asleep that time. I got 2 more hours of sleep and then she was up again.
I've already been to the Dr. I guess a lot of kids are getting walking pneumonia so I thought I would make sure it wasn't that, she's had this wet cough since last Wednesday.
Anyway, she's fine, just a regular cold. Great...that means I don't get to take any drugs home. And the doctor's advice? Don't let her fall asleep anytime in the afternoon to guarantee that she sleep tonight...that will be so much fun. I should have asked him to go ahead and stop by this after noon and see how much fun that's really going to be. He assured us that he remembers sleepless nights and being up all night with a crying baby...yeah right.
I think once your kids are out of that phase you totally block it out...it' just like the potty training, once your kid is in underwear you don't even recall what diapers are.
