i get it. it really is hard. and sleep is such a needed thing.

When my oldest was 1, my dh went to Bosnia for 8 months (showing my age) and that is what we did - nursed down in the bed and then I quietly got up and had some quiet 'me' time. If I fell asleep, I needed the sleep, so it was a win/win.
