I remember those days. When we tried to get my oldest to sleep through the night, my husband and I spent 3 nights in a row pacing for hours just listening to her scream. It was a rough few nights but after we stuck to it, she figured we weren't coming back until the sun came up and she eventually succumbed to our master plan- mwah hah hah! Good luck!!! Ugh.

A second baby causes the older one to be so busy "helping out" they can't wait to go to bed, either to rest or to get away from the brother/sister. A third child spends his/her entire day trying to keep up with the older children, they are pooped by bed time and no problem to put down. Unfortunately, it doesn't solve the general fatigue issue since you and Dad are far more exhausted now looking after three kids. I feel your pain. Love the blog though. I'll be back.
