no sleep, but i have a cool template!

yeah, so here's the deal with the sleep issue- cole has taken to getting up in the early am, usually around 3 am, this morning it was 2. he thinks that it's time to play... seriously. i have tried everything: earlier bedtime, later bedtime; chamomile tea in his bottle, no tea in his bottle; trying to rock him back to sleep, trying to let him put himself back to sleep, even bringing him to bed with me... nothing works. i've tried cd's with lullabies, ocean and rain sounds, that doesn't help either. i am at the end of my rope, running on 3 or 4 hours of solid sleep each night for the past few months. rare is the occasion that he DOES sleep a full 8 hours... it kind of worries me that he is going on 5 or 6 hours of sleep (the daytime naps are not a guarantee). if anyone has any suggestions, please let me know- i am THIS close to hiring out a sitter for the nights just so i can sleep!
but on the other hand, i was getting really bored with the limited backgrounds offered by blogger, so i found this neat website that offers free template (there's a link to it in my 'places to go'). the only thing is that not all of my links and widgets saved, so i had to go and re-add them. oh well... so, not all of my links are the same, but i will re-add them as i remember them. i did find new ones in the process of trying to get them all back, which is a bonus. feel free to check out the templates there, there are some really neat ones!

Megan went through a phase like that...and I was also pregnant at the time, so I was craving solid sleep, too! Nothing worked for me, so I'd just let her play while I dozed on the couch. It was a phase...it passed. Sorry, no secret tricks for ya!
