Morning All,

Belfie - Thanks so much hunni, I think I will be glad once this is all over. Love X's pic, hehehe.

PP - I think I read one of your posts before that you were going to try a night light. Did you try it? How did it go? I have to have the light dimmed for my DDs as they dont like the dark, I used to have the light on outside there room before we had the dimmer installed. My DD3 once I had DD4 had to sleep near me too, it took a while before I could get her to sleep in her room. However they started waking up at around 3am and come in our room. Yet even now she still races into our room, but mostly around 5am. Once she would come in I would pick her up once asleep and put her back, then it got to taking her back to her bed as soon as she came in, so she doesnt come to my side of the bed anymore, she goes to DH. He keeps her with him when she comes in and just sleeps hugging her. I must admit tho, she has been really good over the past couple of weeks and has been sleeping the whole night in her bed and not coming in at around 5am. DD4 used to come in too at one point when they were younger (actually last yr while I was pg with V) but not as often as DD3, yet some night there were the 4 of us in there. May I ask where Ethan is sleeping? Is he sleeping in your room? I understand and totally agree with not letting her get into the habit of it. Have you tried staying with her in her room until she falls asleep, I too did that, had to keep it up until both DD's slept in their room without me. I also had them choose a toy to sleep with which helped too as they could cuddle it. Hope Ashley settles soon for you and you get to reclaim your sanity. HUgs My DD3 ever since she was a baby would wake up screaming and trembling and her heart racing even now still does, not every night like it used to be but at least a couple of times a week now give or take, and she is going onto 6yrs soon. When I was pg with her I would wake up with the same thing just not the screaming/crying part as I used to see to young men/boys staring at me all the time. Once I had her it stopped yet she started.
