Hey Tia,
I can sure relate to so much of what you write about. The lack of sleep, space, and “date nights”! Tayton is back to waking all hours again. It’s so frustrating. I am reading a book that will hopefully help- by Ferber- have you read it? I know I have allowed Tayton to wake and nurse in the nights so that now he expects to do that. Now to break it. It’s so hard when you’re just so tired! Hang in there!

Yeah…I’ve heard of Ferber but haven’t read it. I understand he’s like Ezzo and I’m just not in “there” in my approach these days. After a couple of horrible weeks sleep-wise, we’ve actually had a good one; it’s refreshing to dream again! I just soothed him other ways rather than nursing last week and this week he stopped waking up until 4, when he nurses and then sleeps until 6:30. And I’m trying to keep a good routine in our daytime which I think has helped. Last night at dinner he had his first finger food besides Cheerios…a little mac and cheese, and loved it! He’s trying to stand without touching something and is jibber jabbering in what is really starting to sound like first words! It’s all going so fast!

Hi again- I see my comment went thru.
I do so enjoy your posts.Now I have ANOTHER prob.I can’t print your blogs out as I was doing. As you may know I print every ones blogs out and have a file for each one.I have all of yours except this last one.I just keep getting something about an illegal try.No problem with the others.As I told Gina…I know and understand how it is to be a sahm.And it must be harder in some ways these days than in mime.But I know this is the highest calling a woman can have and it is soon over. I look back and have never regretted those years and I know you will also.Golly, I miss you all!!!
Keep on blogging.
