This is mostly a vent, but man, I am TIRED!

When we picked up our 7mo old, now 8mo, son, we were told he slept from 6:30 to 5:30 every night. I was amazed that the entire time in Guat, he went down like a champ and we never heard one peep out of him. Seriously, not a peep. The first night I kept wondering if he was OK because he was so quiet.

The first night home, he woke up a few times and he's been pretty inconsistent ever since. Friday night, he woke up three times and each time I was able to reposition him on his stomach and he fell back asleep. Of course this didn't make for the best night's sleep for me. Last night, at about 2am, he wouldn't calm down so I gave him a bottle.

I know he is teething, but of course the FM said this hadn't caused any problems for her. I also know it may be normal because of all he's been through in the way of changes in his life.

I was just kind of hoping to hear from those who have been there and survived. Did you child get back to better sleep habits? I have four older kids and homeschool two of them, so it'll be harder and harder if I get such terrible sleep every night.

At this point, not only am I getting up, but then I am so anxious about how the night will go, if he will get back up, etc. that it makes the rest of my sleep pretty bad.

Thanks for listening,
