Default Amber the sleep deprived!

Hey Amber, I just stopped in at your blog and thought you might be headed this way. First, it's great you are admitting that you are way tired....also, that is what happens anyways around this part of a pg (exhaustion)! Sorry you got the double whammy right away, I was hoping he'd get his n&d's together before that happened! My DD was the same way the first 4 weeks (then all of a sudden she slept for like 6 hours straight one night!) What you need to purchase is a bouncy seat that vibrates. They're about $20 but will save your sanity. You can put it on the floor by your bed so he won't be in bed with you but his motions and the vibrations will keep him content till he falls asleep and you can rest and keep an eye on him. Also (here's the key I learned the hard way) when he does fall asleep, be it in the bouncer, car seat, wherever, let him be, he'll be fine!(I always thought I had to scoop her up and put her in her crib. I hope this helps, baths woke DD up at night to so I hear you on that one! Good luck and let us know how it's going!

Also there is this cool little travel swing that my little guy slept in for the first 2 months. It was the only way that I could sleep. You can get it at Target for $30 or $35. I even took it on vacation w/ us and it was heaven.

Default Re: Amber the sleep deprived!

Thanks everyone. I am very sleep deprived. I haven't gone out to buy a swing or bouncer because there is a shower December 1st and I am pretty sure I will get one or both. I think I'm going to see if I can borrown one from one of dh's cousins in the meantime. Last night we just took Isaac straight to our bed and when he was sound alseep we put him in his bed and that enabled us to at least get a few hours at time in.
