Finally time to blog!
OK I know, I know, I have not posted anything in a while. I can hardly find time to do anything with an 18 month (going on 4 years old) running around. Ema requires our full attention 24/7. Two things that are not on her agenda are sleeping and mommy blogging! Everything is going well EXCEPT sleeping. She hates going to sleep and Kirk and are really missing it. Kirk is back at work and is really tired. I am at home alone with her and I am really tired. Ema probably slept 3 hours last night. She is tired but fights it so bad! I think she has adjusted really well except in this area. Sometimes I think she cries to get in our bed but once I think about it, she IS use to having a child in the bed with her and she did sleep in the bed with us for 12 nights in Vietnam. I think waking up in a crib alone is scary to her even if it is in our room. I know, I can hear you now - GET HER OUT OF YOUR BED, YOU ARE MAKING A HUGE MISTAKE BY LETTING HER GET INTO YOUR BED! I have heard these a million times. Kirk nor I like her to sleep with us but we also striving to make her feel completely comfortable with us and in our home. We want to make sure she knows that her world will never be turned upside down again and that we will never leave her. Please continue to pray for our sanity and for God to reveal answers to us on how to comfort her and make her feel comfortable in our home.

Still praying for you guys! Would love to se esome pictures soon!
Hang in there. We love you and pray for you every single day
If it makes you feel any better, P still sleeps with us very often. My sleep deprivation completely overrode anything anyone could "recommend" us doing. :)
Let her sleep with you! These days won't last forever. Enjoy the snuggles!
Don't worry about all the rules of parenting. You goal right now it to bond with that beautiful baby girl. Still praying for you.
I think ya'll are doing a great job. I think that you get sleep while you can when you can. It is part of being a parent. I let both of my sons sleep with us. Andy moved on a little earlier than Colby seems to, but it does create a sense of security for them. So don't let all the recommendations get you down. Everyone will always be full of advice for you from now on. You just do what is best for you and your family. Good luck and Merry Christmas
You do what you feel is right as a parent. Addie is 5 and still sleeping with us and I am sure Aniston will be right there with us once she gets here. Just love her, that is what is important.
God bless...I remember the sleepless nights.
