That is the only way I survived. I could nap while my boys nursed. We both relaxed and when he was deep asleep, I could transfer him to the co-side sleeper. <br /><br />I feel your pain and remember all too well those nights (who am I kidding, I have a 6 year old, 23 month old and 6 month old- I am still having those nights, ha ha). Good luck and praying for you!Gator Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18429037583368020069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8492198823193035235.post-44802793191114180582010-07-23T14:50:35.081-05:002010-07-23T14:50:35.081-05:00Sounds just like Carter as a baby.

Napping can't happen because the older one is not asleep and it can be so overwhelming. <br /><br />I am so glad that you have a husband who will help you and take turns with you! I will be praying for you, David, Aubrey, and Jude. This is such a sweet time for ya'll but a huge adjustment as well!Christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06853736729995601953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8492198823193035235.post-51147270404317364232010-07-22T19:52:18.833-05:002010-07-22T19:52:18.833-05:00We had a few nights like this with Emily.

After a few hours, Steve and I ended up falling asleep on the couch while she cried (in the adjacent room). Terrible night!<br /><br />Hang in there. We're all thinking about you!Nathaliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12938892906009496868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8492198823193035235.post-70289113119075615242010-07-22T17:33:24.717-05:002010-07-22T17:33:24.717-05:00Okay, no offense, but you are the ONLY person who ...Okay, no offense, but you are the ONLY person who would be talking about baby #3 after a night like that. Apparently, you aren't just a pioneer woman when you're pregnant,but all the time! You are SUPER MOM. <br /><br />I'm sure y'all will get in a little routine soon, but I will be praying for you and please let me know what I can do to help out!Sarah Denleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01232657048056927095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8492198823193035235.post-38896170116125799532010-07-22T15:28:18.547-05:002010-07-22T15:28:18.547-05:00I admire you so much Carrie.

Maybe try the swing? (I can't remember if you tried that?) PRAYING for you!! We had a night exactly like that when Evy was 4-5 weeks and we went out and bought Babywise the next day-- haha!!!! <br /><br />Seriously, I've thought about you all day and I'm praying for you!Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16682446564714579767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8492198823193035235.post-42737861850174203562010-07-22T13:31:37.670-05:002010-07-22T13:31:37.670-05:00Oh Carrie, I am so sorry and I will pray that toni...Oh Carrie, I am so sorry and I will pray that tonight will be better. You are so smart to blog about this so you can remember for next time and so it's a measure of the progress that Jude will make over the next few weeks. Try to remember that each of these crazy stages will not last forever! I will be thinking about you. Did Aubrey sleep through all of this? I have a fear of Evie waking up and being right in the middle of it all.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05988473379518407523noreply@blogger.com
