How Old is Adam?

Exactly how tired am I?
On Saturday, about the 4th or 5th time Adam woke up overnight, I changed his diaper as it was wet. When we woke up on Sunday morning, both of his legs were in one pajama pant leg! God help me I need sleep! LOL!
Have you talked to your Dr. about trying a low dose of Benadryl prior to bedtime? It seemed to help both of my boys fall asleep & stay asleep when they were struggling months after coming home. I know some people have concerns about giving medicine, so I would definately ask, but it really worked for us & I have heard other moms on their blogs/forums suggest it in the past. I hope you get some rest soon. Heather M.
I feel your pain, we are only sleeping 2-3 at a time but we are able to "tag team". I can't imagine doing it alone. You are an inspiration...hang in there!
Although I would not be an advocate of medicating a child to sleep; if you do choose that route, I would try the Benedryl at a naptime first. Often the drug has the opposite reaction in children and it can make them wired rather than tired.
Vĩnh Long (literally "eternal dragon") is a city in Vietnam. It is the capital of the Vĩnh Long Province. Vĩnh Long is on the Co Chien river, which branches out from the Mekong at the narrows of My Thuan about ten km upstream from Vinh Long, only to meet it later downstream. A number of canals run through Vĩnh Long, as well as the islands, with with tall pedestrian/motorcycle bridges crossing them. Much transportation takes place by boat, so that parts of the town become unreachable at low tide. A temple of literature is at the end of a old wet market along the canal Lavoo Nu. Vinh Long is about two hours from the large town of Can Tho in the adjacent Hau Giang Province, and about three hours from Saigon.
Single mom of beautiful, brilliant 7 and a half year old boy from Vietnam. Content in so many of the most important ways, yet eager to expand my horizons, intellectually, socially, and maybe even romantically.

OMG, that cracked me up. I'm sure I'll be pulling some stunts like that.
