How did I get so darn lucky?!

TheOriginalSP · November 2011

With Emilia it was always a pain in the ass to get her to go to sleep. We had to rock her until she was asleep before trying to put her in her crib at night. It was miserable, especially if she woke up before we laid her down.

Avery is the exact opposite. I just put her in her crib, she lays down and snuggles in with her blanket and goes off to sleep! It's amazing! I can only hope that #3 goes down as good as Avery...now if only she would STTN. She's almost there, only waking up for about a minute once or twice a night...but man what I wouldn't give for a full night of sleep.

I can't wait to hear your review on having three. I'm still so undecided, and week's like this past week make me think no way. You are so brave to go there when you still aren't getting a full night's sleep!

Well I figure I haven't had a full nights sleep since May of 2008, why start now! lol I started sleeping like crap when I got pregnant with Emilia, she didn't start STTN until she was 1 and that's when I got pregnant with Avery. So yeah...sleep? I don't need no stinking sleep.

I can't wait though, in like 3 years, I will be able to sleep so good!!!!! 2014 can't come soon enough! lol

I know, right? I can't even think about thinking about a third until I get more regular sleep.

So far, Isaac needs to be rocked to sleep, but once he's asleep he is super easy to put in the crib (vs. Gabe who would wake up and scream if you didn't move super super slowly and carefully when tranferring him to the crib).

Yeah the other thing that we got lucky about with Avery, I can move her from the carseat to her crib and she won't wake up. If Emilia ever fell asleep in the car that was it. Naptime over! It sucked so bad. But Avery will transfer so easily (I can even take off her shoes and coat) and then sleep for another 2 hours!)

See, I got screwed in the carseat department, lol. Gabe will fall asleep, but wake up the moment the car stops and Isaac, well, Isaac just hates his carseat, period.

I'm just hoping the screaming will stop when we move Isaac to a convertible seat in a month of two.

Lately Tate needs to fall asleep on one of us, but then once he's out we can lay him down no problem. He sometimes wakes up around 4/5 and I bring him to bed with me. I really hope he doesn't wake up Lane that early b/c he'll just want to stay up (they are sharing a room for the first time tonight).

Zach still needs a bottle and rocking to fall to sleep. But sometimes if he's super sleepy but not entirely asleep, he'll fall asleep on his own if you put him in his crib like that. It's really hit or miss with that though.

This gives me hope for #2. Danica is the same way Emilia was.
