Ooops it's been a few days. I like to try and post every other day on here but sometimes life gets the better of me and I can't.
I have to say I'm impressed that I've posted as much as I have this past month. This is by no means pressure on my readers and commenters but it has helped me tremendously to post when I know people are going to read and provide feedback. When I started this blog my initial thought was I'd keep it as a journal of sorts but since I had no one but me to keep me motivated, I slacked big time.
So a big THANK YOU to all of you who read. I appreciate it!
In other news . . . I've come to admit defeat. Gillian is just not a sleeper as the others were. In my desperation at night to get sleep I've even brought her in bed with me which I've deemed a cardinal sin simply because I don't want her to get used to it! But the little bum will instantly fall asleep! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh! In the MOTN I have no patience. All I want is sleep. I will do what ever I need to do to get it. I seriously do not know what to do with this child. CIO does not seem to be working as well with her as with the Matthew and Mia. She will cry and cry and cry and cry! She cries a lot longer and with more passion than the other kids did. It's gotta get better at some point. Hopefully. Please tell me it will get better!
Update on my friend: I've talked to her briefly and her fiancee. The prognosis is apparently very good. Something like 90% survival. YAY! But she continues to be very groggy and out of sorts due to the gravol which is combatting the nausea of the chemo. She sleeps a majority of the day. I'm hoping to get to the hospital tomorrow night if only to pop my head in and say hi and bring her some goodies. I'm starting to get a stupid cold and her immune system has been so compromised I can't go anywhere near her at this point. Please continue your good thoughts and prayers. Thank you!

Ahhh, we all do what we have to do to get some sleep! If co-sleeping works right now, you can always fight that battle later.
I'm so glad your friend's prognosis is good. That's wonderful.
I am so thrilled to hear your friend's prognosis is good! YAY for that!!!
And I agree with what Kyla said, you gotta do, what you gotta do. If co-sleeping is it, then so be it! :)
First of all, I am so glad you started blogging. And I get to see life in CA..lol. Remarkingly similar to US. :-)
I am so glad your friends prognosis looks so good. I hate that she may not be able to get married but there are just more pressing things at the time. Nothing will test a pre-marriage like this will. It will make their marriage so much stronger.
As far as Gillian, it may be time to call the Sleep Doctor aka Cori. I know the feeling of being desperate and tired and you just do whatever it takes. That is how I ended up nursing Micah about 5 times a night. Sleeeeeeeeep!!!!
I hope you are able to find something that work so that you can get more sleep and that Gillian will not become to attached to snuggling with Mommy at night.
I throughly enjoy reading your blog, so I am so glad you have contintued. Woohoo!!
I am so sorry to hear about Gillians sleeping. It will get better. Just not soon enough.
That is great news on your friend! Awesome :)
I'd tell you it would get better, but I'm not sure if that's the truth or not...I'm still waiting for Livie to get better!
