That Was Fairly Painless!beejayzgang | March 13th, 2008 @ 9:44 pm
| Well, Damara has done it, and done it well. We moved Eliana to the love seat in our basement family room for about a week, and Damara surprised us! Hardly any fussing. We just put her in bed, prayed over her, and walked out. She’s even woke up in the middle of the night, fussed for a few seconds and then went back to sleep! I can NOT believe it was that easy. And now I’m functioning on a full night’s sleep for a bit over two weeks. It hasn’t been perfect, and I was so afraid to let Ellie move back into her room, but after a week downstairs she was ready. And apparently Damara was too. I am so beyond ecstatic. I’m definitely not anywhere close to being caught up on my sleep - nine months of not sleeping more than four or five hours of 1-2 hour spurts of sleep will rack up quite the sleep debt, let me tell you! Every hour of sleep you miss, needs to be made up for at some point in your life. I’m thinking this might take a while. However, I am so proud of my girl, and now the girls are great bedroom mates, and I am relieved.
I will be soon getting my laptop back, but until then I likely won’t be posting much. This old desktop is great for email and chatting, but it tries one’s patience to do much more. And to think that at one point this machine was FAST! A’ll be bak. |

Thank God - I hope it lasts for you. Nothing, and I mean nothing about having kids can be as disheartening as being up half the night. I’ll clean up anything, nurse them through illnesses, suffer with mastitis, be bored out of my skull reading the same book over and over and over, but let me have my sleep. I’ve been there - I know what it’s like.
