It's been over 2 weeks since all three children have slept all night. Or has it been 4 weeks? Sure feels like 4.D (age 2) seems to wake up nightly due to his teeth. Darn molars! And due to his age. He just wakes and plays in his crib for over an hour, and sometimes cries for us.
T (age 4) is actually doing the best! She woke up once in the last 2 weeks with bad dreams. Thank goodness for the spare twin bed in her room for daddy to crash in.
K (age 6) has been up nightly for about 3-4 nights, in addition to many others scattered in there. Saturday night was a stomach virus. But I forget what the other things have been. My mind is quite cloudy between 1 AM and 5 AM.
So mom and dad are up every night. And are tired parents.
And the baby hasn't even joined us yet.

You're going to totally enjoy your stay at the hospital! People waiting on you, sleeping as late as you like...it will be like a visit to the a spa!

Think of it as preparation for baby's arrival. Everyone's just helping out in getting you ready for interrupted and incomplete sleep. ;)
We were just talking about you young parents and how we seem to have forgotten all the not so nice stuff about the good old days of little ones.
I bet right now it's hard to believe that someday you will hardly remember not sleeping.
God is just getting you ready! ;) I remember how much easier those long nights were with the amazing nursing hormones. Don't get discouraged! And praying for lots of sleep for you tonight!
I'm with you - those between 1 and 5 hours get more and more hazy...
Uffda, we'll be praying for some sleep at your house. I don't know how you do it. I'd be a zombie.
