Hypocrite

I can't even count the number of times that I said to my friend:

"Do NOT let that baby sleep in your bed every night I don't care how young she is. It might be easy and bearable now, but it will get worse, I promise!!!"

And I was right too, cause at a year old she still sleeps in their bed every night!!

So that being said, someone wanna tell me why my less than one month old son knows that he wants to sleep in my bed at night and not in his cradle? And an even better question.....why am I allowing it?? Oh, that's right cause I'm so freakin tired in the middle of the night that I forgot to care. Funny enough, my friend used to say the same thing......*sigh*

I think we need to get rid of the cradle and just put him in his crib at night....and that's it. He takes his naps in there already with minimal issues. The thought of having to walk ALL THE WAY to a different room (right across the hall) to feed him every couple of hours just sounds extra exhausting. However if it means that I can bring my body pillow back in bed and sleep without fearing that I'm going to roll on him or suffocate him with my pillow it might be worth the extra steps.

Speaking of naps, I'd like to scream from the mountain tops right now about how awesome I am that today both of my children are napping AT THE SAME TIME and it's mid afternoon. Seriously I wanna dance around the house. Which I would do, but I'm too tired. Because really, I just don't sleep anymore at all. It could take an hour to feed him at night, so if you add that to how long it takes to burp him (he's not a good burper at all), change his diaper, and get him to fall back to sleep I'm pretty much getting a couple of hour and a half long naps before my energetic toddler wakes up and is ready to play.

Plus I had to go say that about them both sleeping.....now Luke just woke up. DAMN! But hey he slept long enough for me to put Allie to sleep, clean up after lunch, send a couple emails and write this post.

WAIT, no one breath...he just went back to sleep.
ok, maybe not. =\
Talk to you all later. I'm gonna PROMISE to upload some pictures of "Mini-Mike" later on today.
