Angel by day....Devil by night (but a cute one!)
Man, I am at a loss for ideas. My sweet little angel is not a sweet little sleeper. Never has been. Since day one she has had trouble sleeping. For a while it was the reflux...now, who knows? I have tried everything!
I think Riley has slept through the night maybe 15 times since she was born.
I once heard that a continuous break in your sleep can cause a person to go CRAZY. I think I agree! This is how an average night goes...
8:00 in bed
9:30 to 10 wakes up once.
12:30 to 2 awake and ready to hang out
4 to 6 awake and ready to play
6 to 7 sleeps because I put her in bed with me!!!
WHAT AM I GOING TO DO...
She doesn't wake up hungry or hurting..she just wakes up!!
I know there are more of you out there. Any ideas, do they ever sleep???? Do they make drugs for this?? (kidding)

Don't ask me for ideas. Read my blog for our night last night. I'm in the same boat!
Haha-I was just going to tell you to read Leslie's blog! Y'all are helping me postpone this kid thing even longer!
Do you need that fan from Mom's house? ha ha! Hope you get some sleep soon.
Love you.
I think Riley will do great when she goes to college. She will be pulling all-nighters with the best of them! Like everyone else, I also hope you get some sleep! Good luck, and let us know what finally works!
I'm sorry Hollie! I wish we were neighbors... Then we could all take turns staying up with her...Better yet, I think I'll quit this job and become your nanny? Hope you don't mind... Hope to see you soon!
LOVE YOU!
I have never had a baby that regularly slept through the night before about 10 months old. When Avery was a baby, I slept on the floor in her room (using a boppy as my pillow) for 2 or 3 months because she woke up every 30 minutes. So I would just stand up, give her a pacifier, and then crash back on my boppy pillow. And I used to take naps with Avery ALL the time (it was the only way to get her to sleep for a while). I have even slept in the crib a time or two with both of them. Whatever works! Now they both sleep great! So, Riley will too....eventually! In the meantime, enjoy sleeping with her in the mornings. I missed that with Miller since I had another kid to take care of.
Thanks for all the advice. I am trying to remember to enjoy the time sleeping with Riley, but it is easy to forget! I guess there is an end in sight. I keep thinking that Justin is now one of the best sleepers I know...so there is hope!!
Jenna- I will get your room ready!! Tell Matt there are great Medical Schools in the Dallas area!
