WWYD?

DS's sleeping habits are killing me.  We left home on Friday, and the first night in a hotel, he wasn't awful... actually- he did GREAT (by his standards) and only woke up once every 2-3 hours and went back down fairly easily.  Saturday night was terrible.  He was hard to get back down each time and he was awake from 2-3:30.  Sunday was our last night in a hotel and he was... eh.  Bedtime was a little later than normal because we were at a wedding until 8ish.  (He goes down at 7) he woke up more frequently, but went back down easily-ish that night. 

 Monday, we drove to a friends house to help her out with her 3 week old twins.  (Turns out, I'm not much help with a toddler running around destroying things... and she is getting more sleep than me...)  Monday night- bad.  Tuesday night- WORSE. (hard to get down each waking... roughly every 2 hours... once he was awake for an hour and a half)

Last night, I couldn't get him back into his PnP AT ALL after 10:30.... He finally fell asleep in bed with me (on my painful nipple, since it'd been tortured for so long) at 3:30. 

I am 4 hours from my Dad and the rest of my family.  I wasn't planning to visit him on this trip (we're seeing them at Christmas). I WAS planning to go to the midnight showing of the Deathly Hallows tonight with friends- she'd even lined up her BFF to babysit Chase.  I cancelled this morning, but my friend here is still trying to convince me to go.  I just don't think I can handle another night out so late, not knowing when I'll have a reprieve.  I'd love to go... I've been looking forward to it for ages.  I would also realy like to head up to see  my family.  And I know if I go, I could hand DS over to someone else for a night so I can get some real sleep... but DH is saying that we can't spend that money right now.  Ugh... so frustrating.  I hate our sleep situation to begin with, but to be at someone else's house too... yuck...

I'm sorry.  Sleep stinks especially when you're not getting it.  I'm not sure exactly what you're question is, but I will say that all the traveling is probably throwing him so hard as it is you may have to just get through it until you get home and have a routine again.  Can your DH take over so you get a few hours straight at least?  You don't really mention what he is doing when all this is going on.

That's the thing- I'm by myself.  DH flew back home to work until THanksgiving.  So the only break I can get is to go visit family... because NO WAY am I going to ask my friend of baby twins to help- even if she's offered... I'm here to help HER- not the other way around.

Gotcha sorry.  I hope you get some rest somehow.
