My child WILL. NOT. SLEEP.
Last night, while up with Reese, for the 3rd time, I was in tears. I don't know why she keeps getting up, but she is. I think it's her teeth, so I numbed her gums up last night and gave her some Tylenol. No change from the night before. She was up just as much.
I had a whole blog post thought out in my head while rocking her back to sleep. It probably wouldn't have been very nice. So, I'm glad I waited. She's sitting here beside me in her ExerSaucer saying "mamama" making everything better.
Please pray for us. Pray for Reese to sleep. She's getting less than 8 hours of sleep a night and I know that babies her age should be getting more - especially when she doesn't nap during the day either.
For now, here's a picture of my sleepless one, whom I love with all that I have...
I'll catch up with the last few days later when I have time.

Don't worry Olivia isn't sleeping either at night. She gets up about once an hour, it's killing us. Last night I finally turned the monitor off-I felt like a bad Mom but I needed some sleep. She went back to sleep and was asleep when I left for work. I tried some teething tablets for her teeth and they seem to work, they help her sleep. They are Hyland's and they have them at WalMart, give them a try. So next time you're awake in the middle of the night, just think we are too:)
Do what Kristen said...turn the monitor off. She may cry a bit, but she'll go back to sleep. Sometimes you gotta let 'em cry :(
Otherwise, I'll bring you my book I talked about. It totally helped me.
