Sleep? Who needs sleep?

Last night I was up 9 times with my kids.  It was if Elliot knew if Lizzie had just fallen asleep and decided that it was a good time to be hungry, and then Charlie would feel left out and need some milk.  What the Heck!  I am wondering what lesson I am suppose to be learning from this.  Cause it sure isn't making me stronger, just a lot grumpier!  I don't think my kids remember what I was like prior to Elliot!  I have decided that as soon as Elliot hits 13lbs I am going to let him cry during the night.  I need to get my sleep.  The whole thought or memory of me having to stick that stupid binky in his mouth 8 times a night just makes me yawn.  I think I would rather have a thumb sucker that not get sleep.  Maybe I will do that, take him off of his binky.  Any thoughts or ideas?  I am totally open!

Alta,
I love your blog. So cute. I miss you guys. If it means anything I sucked my thumb and I don't think it did any harm. I think that you have to do what works for you - b/c as always mom knows best. Congrats on the weight gain - that is fabulous. We love you guys. Call me when you can.

P.S. where did you get your background for your blog?

Love the blog name. I wish I could have thought of something better than "The McDonough Family." 9 times in one night? Yikes. I'll pray for you.
