1st Trimester

2nd+ timers

Anyone else's other children light sleepers? I can't even flush at night because it will wake her up. So now I'm wondering if she's going to wake up every time the baby is awake. Is one of us going to have to be awake every time with either the baby or the toddler? Am I never going to sleep again? 

It's really weighing on my mind! Probably because I was up at 6 am because she woke up when dad was getting ready for work.

  • Mine is such a light sleeper! Invest in a white noise machine for your toddlers room ( it blocks out a ton of noise) and has helped us a ton.

     Am I never going to sleep again? 

    Ha, I keep freaking out and saying this in my head over and over again.  Mine is a light sleeper, and also has never STTN either.  So, I have no advice.  Just sympathy.  I guess I'll sleep when they leave for college.  Can't wait!

    Same here!  DD is a light sleeper and we lived in an old house with squeaky floors.  It was and still is a lifesaver.

  • We use a large fan to help her sleep, but I'm nervous too.  Our kids will have to share a bedroom and I'm afraid that the baby will wake DD up.

  • Definitely get a white noise machine. It's the only thing that keeps my son asleep at night.
  • I was really worried about that, but it wasn't an issue at all!  I think DS woke up maybe one time from the baby crying.

    I'm worried now about where to put the new baby, lol.  I'm thinking of moving DS bed into DD's room and having them share for a little and then giving the new baby his/her own room (for sleeping/waking purposes.) And then I'll just put the baby in with whatever the same sex is... so if it's a girl, she'll share with DD, etc.

    I never thought having a 3 bedroom house would be an issue, lol!  We're hoping to move in a year and a half.

    Which one is it?  We have that lamb that hangs on the crib, but only stays on either 20 or 40 minutes.  I wonder if we should have one that stays on all the time?

  • Hey Sam!  I remember you from your last pregnancy!  Nice to see you again!

    DS is a light sleeper, which is why I keep a floor fan on in his room at night.  I keep it on low for now but if I need to I will turn it up when baby comes in an attempt to drown out the noise.

    BTW your little girl is super cute!

  • Yep... As much as I hate to say it, I'm kind of glad that we'll be getting our sleepless nights out of the way all at once... I'm going to be a zombie though! We also live in an older house with creaky floors and doors and it's a bungalow, so there's no way to avoid waking up baby if he's not totally passed out.
