I just want sleeeeepppp

So I brought home my first daughter (through adoption) last Dec and found out in Jan we were expecting twins.  My oldest was a terrible sleeper and she finally slept through the night at 16 months.  YUP after the twins were home for several months.  These two are up at least 5/6 times a night at 7 months old.  Its been a yr and a half with an avg of 4 hrs of sleep a night....and now the twins are about to start crawling.  Im not so sure I have the energy...Im so darn tired.  At least they are all SUPER DUPER CUTE :)

After three miscarriages and one ectopic pregnancy we are currently pursuing adoption. " Born not from our flesh, but born in our heart. You were longed for and wanted and loved from the start."

    Oh yes. My 4yo has never consistently STTN. A few weeks here and there. And he's a 900-630 kind of guy - 12 consecutive hours isn't in his vocabulary.

    I haven't felt well rested since 2009.

    Yep. 2009 sounds about right.
    Why didn't I sleep more in my 20's?! :((

    My girls are 6 1/2 months and still wake up every 2-3 hours. Please don't tell me I have another whole year of this! I can't take it!!

    My 8 week old twins sleep 5-6 hours at night. We have been following dr Spoc's advice on how to get them to STTN.

    I don't have older children to contend with just the 2 twins who are now 6 months old. About 6 weeks ago we tried the Moms on Call method of STTN and now they sleep from 7:30-6:30. It took about a week and included adjusting their milk intake during the day so they had enough to sustain that long of a sleep. They are super happy when they wake up and know that on schedule (weekend or not) we will be in there to get them!

    Just to be clear, it's not like I haven't tried every method out there for a consistent amount of time. It works for a while until it doesn't work anymore.

    The twins slept like rock stars until 6mo. The big one gives me a month or two of good sleep every 6-9months. It's just not consistent over the long term. Life - teething, sickness, travel, the phases of the moon - tend to get in the way.
