sleep when they sleep?

Is anyone actually able to do this?

I won't be able to this time around because I have a three year old, but I certainly accomplished it when it was just him! I didn't worry about anything else, but taking care of my son and sleeping when he did. My house was a disaster, but I was a happy, well-rested mama

Absolutely! Not all the time, but I definitely don't feel as exhausted as I thought I would.

I did. It was HARD to get used to though. You want to clean your house, you want to shower, you want to be a good wife, etc...but after a while I gave up on all of it and just slept when she slept.

I don't know how the eff I'm going to do this with a 16 month old too. =( I'm scared.

On another note...your blog hasn't been updated and I have missed your posts! I didn't know you had the baby! Congrats!!!!

I'm worried about this. I am NOT a nap person at all. I wish I was, but usually when I wake up I have a headache and am nauseous.

Sometimes... I usually sleep for one or two of his naps... I am not a nap person, but it is better than exhaustion. For the first 3-4 days home I kept doing "one more thing" before I would lay down, and then he would be awake... I was so tired! Now we have a routine going...

And if I don't sleep when he does I still don't get much done, since he doesn't like to be put down.

Not sure how I would do it with two...

Not really... I mean, he has 4 hours between feedings, but it takes an hour to feed him, so that leaves 3 hours, then he wakes up for a diaper change (or two), so I'm lucky to get 30-45 naps in. If he sleeps the whole 3 hours, i'm refreshed.

First of all...she is so freaking cute!! I just want to squish her! Isn't that scary when strangers say that to you though? LOL You're right. I haven't updated in a long time. I'm a total slacker and need to get back on the band wagon. I hope and pray that my order from Abby's Lane gets here Monday so we can start this whole cloth diapering big. Jake was too small for my Thirsties Duos or Weehuggers.

Don't be scared though! You can make it!!! You can doooooo iiiittt!! LOL
