Logan decided that the day we left Oregon would be the day he stopped sleeping. He sleeps for maybe an hour every day and at night he is awake three or four times. I know what I should do is just let him cry it out when he wakes up ( I did this with the other two and they were awesome sleepers). I have a very hard time letting this little man cry. The other problem is for four more weeks we are in a very small apartment on the third floor. I really don't think it is a good idea to awaken our family or the family under us. I have been hanging on until the last few days I have just hit the wall.
I told Ryan the second we get to our house we will get him on a schedule. Until then I am going to just have to push on.
Thank you Lord that I even have this little man to complain about.

I hear ya! I will now think of you when I am up in the wee hours for the fourth and fifth time. I don't want Kinsey to wake up Noah so I go running. I need a schedule too. I didn't have this with Noah, he slept so well and had a routine in no time. I am glad you can complain about Logan too. I often wonder if these babies think they will miss something when they are sleeping.
Wow - that IS hard! I think you have made the right decision tho ~ I don't think it gets any easier to hear your baby cry...
I hope when you move he settles into a good routine!
And Morgan is going to do fantastic too - she is so adorable - seriously!
hang in there, girl. i swear, i didn't know what sleep deprivation was til i had marek...we'll keep you in our prayers and hope you are comforted knowing it will be much better in your own home. the countdown is on :)
Hmm, I guess he misses us and just wants to wake up and think about his friends. :) That has got to be it!!!
Love you. I so understand the apartment thing too. It is so hard to nail down a schedule when you know others are listening through their walls.
I didn't like letting mine cry it out. I totally understand. I used to lay on the floor by Luke's crib and stick my hand through slats so he could feel me.
A few mornings Sergio found me in this position. My arm would be so sore I couldn't bear to move it much.
The good news is it's all a stage. I was kindly rewarded by children who don't get up after they've been tucked in...unless they need to go to the bathroom and even then they ask for permission to get up.
Much too soon they stop needed so much of us:)
