Insomnia...

Lately with the mixture of pregnancy insomnia and Carrson S.T.I.L.L. teething i've been sleeping HORRIBLE at night! I guess this is just preperation for night time parenting with two kids instead of just one ugh....now before i start complaining too much i must say that last night compared to the last week was wonderful, last night he slept in his own bed till 4:30 then came in our room went directly back to sleep with rus (i wasnt even woken up thank goodness)and then didn't get up until 7:30!! so YAY!! but the entire past week has gone something like wake up in his room at 10:30 crying and yelling and wanting no comforting...rusty brings him in there to our room so I can help out with the consoling we try cuddling we try talking nothing just yelling and flaling around so i just talk to him calmly until he goes back to sleep about 15 min later (which is an eternity in the night)....well good for carrson he is back to sleep and rusty is too and now i just lay there....awake, I see 11:30 and then the repeat of everything that happened before only now its 1:00am everyone is back to sleep about 10 min later but then he is up again at about 4:00...ugh i dont have any hair left to pull out but I can't be mad at him, if he was able to sleep he would just like normally but he can't so every night after this we try different variations to help him with the pain, teething tablets before bed and through the night, this helped some, one night we tried motrin at the first night waking and that helped some too but over all just a bunch of tries and pushing to get through it all and it paid off cause now we have two new teeth broken through the gum and we got a good night sleep last night...thank the lord!
