So my last post was 9/2014!!! Holy cow has so much changed. Its been almost 3 years.
First, when I last updated we started to sleep train my then 19 month old. We had slight success. It took a couple nights of endless tears but Brooke learned to fall asleep on her own, in her own bed. We had a several months long streak of this. Then somehow she ended up back in our bed. So after months of sleeping in my bed, we would sleep train again. This process repeated probably 3 times. However, I am happy to report that at 4 years and 3 months old, Brooke sleeps through the night in her own bed now. Prior to this, we had a pretty happy medium where she would fall asleep on her own, in her own bed, and come into our bed in the middle of the night every night. There was probably a year to 18 months of that. I really put my foot down once my third baby was born! I have a son, Mason, who is 8 months old now. He sleeps in his crib for the most part. Some nights he wakes up and ends up in our bed. He still takes one bottle almost every night at some point. Some nights he just stares at me with wide eyes at 2 am, and I bring him in my bed so I can sleep while he stares at me :) Some nights we have 2 children and 2 adults in my bed! But ya know what, everyone is happy and growing strong and healthy. I have to make it work somehow, I have to manage 3 kids and 3 dogs and a full time job outside the home too. We moved into a bigger house as well. That was a stressful time! We closed on our house on 12/22, yes 3 days before christmas! Then I found out we were pregnant on 1/8. So it was a really busy time. I don't think I unpacked the last boxes until, wait actually, I might still have a couple that I need to unpack! Also in the last 3 years, Josh has lost both his parents and his last grandparent. Somehow this crazy world keeps on turning.
Anywho, I dug up this dusty old blog to research something I had written about. I might just be posting updates again here soon!
