So frikkin tired...

I'm exhausted. Story of my life, really. My baby girl seems to be getting some new chompers in...I believe it's the top ones this time, and boy does she need her parents. Only at night. While we're asleep.
The other night she woke up at 3 a.m and wouldn't sleep unless it was on my chest. I didn't sleep a wink after that since I'm usually on my side or my stomach to sleep, so I was super uncomfortable. Tonight she is on Daddy's chest, they are in the living room right now...Daddy had put her to sleep on the bed (GAH! NO!!!) and she woke up as soon as I transferred her to her crib. Hmmmm, I don't think so Ms. Missy, it's bad enough your big brother is kicking me out of my own bed, you aren't going to do it too...
Funny how I have actually moved my self to the couch no less than three times in the last week, because Daddy's lazy ass puts her in the bed when she wakes up and with the four of us in the bed, it just ain't cutting it. My son sleeps spread-eagle, my daughter has to be literally under someone, and my husband is 6 feet tall. It's a queen sized bed, yes, but it's not big enough for all of us.

The pooping: I've been giving her prunes. She loves them, the thing is (and this happened when she was a baby, too) is that sometimes it gives her explosive diapers. I'm trying to give her one a day or every other day or so...Apple or pear juice used to work with my son (still does actually) but I haven't seen much difference with her and juices. (Unless it's prune juice of course...) We'll see.

It's late and I should be sleeping...

Should be...

hmmm, 4 on a queen-sized bed...I would give much to have that. We currently are squeezing the four of us on a full-sized bed!

as the eldest imp is 8, I really do not know when to tell you to expect a change in the sleeping arrangements!

We have a queen size bed and it barely fits me and hubby. I couldn't imagine having my two in there with me as well. The sofa would be looking good to me too.

Here's to getting a good night's sleep.

you know Dennis- you're not giving me much to look forward to...even though come to think of it I think I was about nine or so when I slept in my own bed...oh dammit!
mama - yay for you not having feet in the face, or knees in the groin (hurts for women and men!) or sleeping punches to the eye! I'm envious...

I knew I shouldn't have read your post! Now Ducky is following suit, grr. So sorry that you're having to share bedspace.
