Rough night...but not because of LO!

DS fell asleep right after I fed him at 8:30 last night.  I went to sleep around 10:30.  He woke me up at about 1am to feed, and then I pumped.  I got him back to sleep around 2:45.  At 3am, my 5 year old stepdaughter appears in my room.  (just a couple days ago, she had her first bad dream..before that night, she NEVER got out of her bed and came to our room.  DH is out of town so I let her crawl into bed with me that night).  Last night, she said her ear was bothering her.  So I cleaned it out with a q-tip and tucked her back into bed.  10 minutes later, she was BACK in my room!  I asked her what was going on and she couldn't tell me.  So I took her back to her bed and turned on a lamp in her room in case she had another bad dream and was scared even though she wasn't saying that was the issue.  I heard her up and down (she walks heavy and her room is upstairs while mine is down).  I went back up and told her she HAD to go to sleep.  By now, it's 4:30am!  I ended up calling DH and making him talk to her on the phone to get her to go to sleep.  Well now, I know that DS is going to wake for another feeding any minute, so I go ahead and get him up and manage to dreamfeed him.  I finally lay back down to sleep and of course, my alarm goes off an hour later at 6am to get SD up and ready to go to school.  So I got a total of about 3 1/2 hours of sleep last night, and LO is NOT to blame.  Nights like last night, I really wish DH would come back home!!  (he's away with the Army Reserves training right now).

I sure hope tonight is not a repeat!  My luck, tonight DS will have a tough time sleeping.
