Sleepless nights

The title to this blog says it all.  Every parent has had them and all parents hate them.  But then you start to think....I would do anything for this little bundle of joy and if I have to sacrifice a good nights sleep to make this baby happy, I will.  With 3 kids I've had my share of sleepless night.  My husband works night shifts Sunday night through Thursday night.  And some how the kids always get sick Sunday nights through Thursday nights.  He does good when he's at home but I'm on my own when he's not.  Now Jew Jew has the flu on top of an ear infection and again I'm on my own.  Last night we spent several hours walking around and around our kitchen trying to get her to stop crying and go to sleep.  I haven't done that since she was about 5 months old.  Then when she was asleep she would not let me lay her down.  She wouldn't even allow me to lay in my bed with her.  So we sleep in the recliner in the living room.  My husband got home at 6:30 this morning and he got the big kids off to school and took the baby so I could get a few hours of sleep before he crashed for the day.  Thank God because I would not be typing this if not for that 2 hours of GOOD sleep.  Now Jew Jew is down for a nap and sleeping like a baby.
