oooo Lorel, that is a nightmere! The reason my kids are almost 4 years apart is because I swear I needed enough sleep before I could get pregnant with #2. DS is not a sleeper. To his credit, now at age 7, once he's asleep he's generally good for 9 hours. But he'd read all night if you let him. He was always a terrible napper. He stopped napping very young.
DD3 was actually an ok sleeper as an infant. But now is requiring a lot of maintenance to get her to sleep and is still crawling into bed with us in the middle of the night (which a lot of times, means sleeping on top of me).
This made me laugh. The reason my girls are 23 months apart was with DD#1 I figured it couldn't be any worse because neither of us was sleeping anyway....so I figured I would get the second baby out of the way. They both started sleeping through the night at the same time at ages 4 and 2....
