As I sit here writing I am smiling, in the ironic kind of way. My title refers to the fact that who would have thought Esera's sleep could get any worse than Benjamin's was? I mean, we struggled and struggled and cried and prayed with Benjamin. Through 15 gruelling months until HE decided he would sleep through the night.
"Well it has to be better than Benjamin" I always assured myself. Until when Esera was 3 months old, he went from sleeping 6, sometimes 7 hour stretches at night, to waking 2 hourly, sometimes hourly at night in just a few weeks. WHAT THE HECK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The past 3 nights he has slept better, doing 5 hour stretches once again. He is now 5 and a half months old. Can you believe I actually survived the last months?! I am pinching myself right now. Yes it is me. I am here. Just.
But in the midst of all of this, I found myself still enjoying life, still enjoying my baby and my bigger baby boy. How awesome is that! Yes there were days I almost lost it, but they were fewer rather than more. I know I am not using my best English skills but frankly this is all I can manage. And that's that : )

Hi,
It seems like the spirited babies are the worst sleepers! I am going through it now with my 10.5 month old.
At least you will probably have it easier with #2 and you can be more grateful. Maybe :)

I think you've just learnt that fighting them is like trying to hold the swell of the ocean back - impossible! Good for you for going with it. But NOT so encouraging seeing that I'm starting round 2 in a couple of months!
