Sleep, oh where did you go?

My Dear Friend Larissa and I have been commiserating together in our lack of sleep. She has been such an encouragement to me, that I thought I might be an encouragement to others. I basically haven't had a good nights sleep "stretch" since I got pregnant with Jackson. Jackson didn't sleep through the night until he was 2 (and that was the first time). He didn't sleep consistently through the night until he was 3.5, and that was when I got pregnant with Miley. People often told us we should let him cry it out, but when we tried that he would cry so much he would vomit... Miley was a much easier baby, but I did get up to nurse her two times a night for a year, and then one time a night for almost another year. But since we have moved her to a toddler bed (at age 2), she likes to get up and come get me several times a night. We gated her in her room, but she started climbing the gate and knocking it over (her room is at the top of the stairs, yikes!) Lately it seems my children conference before bedtime to decide who will wake me. If one sleeps the other wakes me up.
The past two nights have been really rough. One night Miley had growing pains, and if I stopped rubbing her knees and ankles, she would start crying even though she was sound asleep. Last night Jackson was fighting an asthma attack. It is hard to sleep to the sound of the nebulizer. Oh sleep, where did you go?
But I do know that this is just a season of life. It to will pass.
One thing that I have done to help, is to start a God's Blessing Journal. I started to read my old journal and realized I didn't want anyone else to read it. It was all negative and venting (and it didn't help me feel better). Some nights it is very difficult to see the Blessings in my life, but there is always my family and our safety. THANK YOU GOD!!!!!
