Everybody warned me to get my sleep before Kyle was born! I tried to but there was no way I could store up enough to make up for all of the sleepless nights I have had since he was born.
I think I may have trained him to wake up a lot because I kept him in our room until he was about 4 months old and would "over respond" to him. Anytime he would make a noise I would get up and nurse him. Then when he turned 6 months old I stopped nursing and he has literally been sick ever since then. It has been awful! He has had two stomach viruses, 2 earraches, bronchiolitis, and too many colds to even keep track of. The colds are the worst. He coughs so much he throws up.
Right around 9 months he started sleeping through the night on a regular basis which was heaven. But when he is sick he just wants to be held...which means no sleep for Matt and I. We have to plan out who gets what shift and who will miss work/school which days etc. One day I am sure I will laugh about it all but right now I just keep hoping that with the warmer summer weather we will get a few weeks with a healthy baby. Even when he is sick he is still so cute, almost makes up for the sleeplessness...almost.
