Sleep…ad nauseum
I spent four days in pro-dromal labor, which kept me from sleeping. Right before they gave me the pitocin at the hospital to induce me, I told the nurse, “I’m so ready to have this baby, so I can sleep.”
She turned, smirked at me and said, laughing, “Having a baby…to sleep? That’s funny.”
I had no idea what she meant at the time.
At nearly 17 months my kid still wakes up after 4 or 5 hours down and I spend the rest of the night with him. Thank god the studies keep coming out that show the psych0logical benefits of sleeping with your children.

My kids are the same. Finally, at nearly five years old, Sol sleeps through the night pretty solidly, but Zaviera still wakes up and gets into bed with us at some point. I suspect this third one will be the same.
