Just about ready to give up.

So background information.

I fall asleep easily when I'm tired, this was a big issue in college when i started falling asleep while driving. We have since taken care of the problem that was causing all this extra sleepiness. However, having a baby....yeah lack of sleep ALL the time. This is important to know because when i would nurse him sitting up to try and get him to go back to his own bed, I would start falling asleep with him in my arms. It didn't matter if I was sitting or standing. So we started co-sleeping, something we never thought we would do. It hasn't turned out to be so bad, but if you know my son, you know he's big. He's starting to take up quite a bit of room in the bed now. I wanted to start transitioning him to the crib over the summer. he ended up getting really sick with a rash, or something, so it was near impossible to do it. Then school started, and the getting up and going to nurse him every 2-3 hours was a lot harder than just laying down next to him and letting him nurse while I sleep. I needed the sleep for school. I started to try and get him in his crib over fall break, he started teething his molars. What fun! So that was basically no sleep...at all. Then Thanksgiving break I was going to do it, but he ended up being sick again, teething another molar, and we did end up going to Heber, which threw him off his schedule. So...come winter break. We have 4 weeks off, the first week off, I was about to start to try and get him in the crib, until we realized that the next week, we'd be having friends stay with us. So they would be in his room, and he would be sleeping with us anyway. There was no point in trying to get him in the crib, then back with us again. So, they leave, then we stay the night in Logan, and the next night we all are so off schedule that I just sleep when I can. Finally, tonight, I'm determined to get this done as we have one more week left before my classes start. 3:00 AM, he pukes...EVERYWHERE. I'm just so tired of trying to get him to sleep in his crib and having it never ever work out. (and he just puked again). With him feeling sick, you can bet the crib thing isn't going to work out for a couple of days.

I just want my bed back. It's hard enough having a queen size bed for the two tall people (he's 6'4 and I'm 5'9) and having to share it with a 2 1/2 foot tall kid who's 30 lbs. But hey, that's parenthood...right?
