Teething, NO Sleep and Nightmare...


The picture is of Doug and Martin at Amazing Jake's

When does it end? Recently Martin has been waking up in the middle of the night calling for him Dad because he has a nightmare. Everything from the house and him being on fire to his hand falling asleep to Mr Crabs from Sponge Bob to being scared in the old house. oh and poor Martin has inherited the Bremner Sleep talking too so around 11pm every other night he sits up in his bed and talks to his sippy cup or Nish (his stuffed puppy he made at build a bear as a Christmas present from his Aunt Kristi and cousins.)

Than Roxie is cutting a tooth and yes we are excited but at the same time I wish she would sleep. She wakes up every 3 hours screaming in pain and I nurses her for about 10 mins and than give her the pacifier until she falls back asleep for maybe 2 to three hours. I hate using Tylenol unless its the last option otherwise I use teething creams and tablets . I'm all ears for advice on teething. Teething never seems to bother Martin and we were already used to no sleeping but Roxie has been sleep though the night until June. Doug and I look like the walking dead with dark circles under our eyes.

The worst part is I can't seem to find " THE SLEEP BOOK" and it the bible to getting kids to sleep though the night!!

I'm beginning to think we will never sleep again until our kids are Married!!

  2. Use the Tylenol!!! It will take away her pain and that is the best thing! The best sleep book we've used is the one the Micah let us use called, 'Good Night, Sleep Tight', by Kim West. Hope this helps!
