Sleep issues

Today has been rough, on top of being pregnant, Josiah has NOT been sleeping well at all.

It's not really the fact that he won't sleep through the night without waking, I can handle that. I just figure out what he needs and he goes right back to sleep.

But lately, for the last 4 nights, this kid will not go to sleep in his crib or with Ben and I for that matter.

I feel like I have tried everything. From letting him "cry it out"(cringe:/) to the "no cry-sleep" method, he won't do it! I almost think that he senses the baby in me?

So right now, the only thing that I can think of is he cries for about 20-30 minutes(which I HATE!). I go and get him from downstairs and I bring him upstairs and rock him. In about an hour he will fall asleep on my chest. I've tried to just rock him to sleep without him crying, but he just gets to excited and wants to play. I have to have him cry so that he gets tired. I can't really think of any other way of doing it. 

If you guys got ANYTHING, I'm willing to hear your advice. My ears are open!

I think that if I wasn't pregnant, I could probably handle it a little bit better.

This morning wasn't very fun either, I don't know what the neighbor people are thinking but apparently working with a very loud pressure nail gun is a good idea at 6 in the morning. On a SUNDAY!!! :/ Why?!

I am super fatigued with this pregnancy and all I want to do is sleep, and it feels like I don't get a break. 

But...

Thank God for Grandmas!

I called up my mom and told her what's been going on and she was willing to take Josiah out of the house for me after he gets up from his nap, which is so awesome and I am so grateful for this little bit of quiet time to do laundry in peace and rest a little before I have to attempt to put Josiah asleep tonight.

Another thing...

Josiah woke up from his nap around 3 and when I went to go and get him...

he took off his POOPY diaper, and it was all over the bed!

Thank God it wasn't all over the walls like last time. It was just in a few big lumps on his bed and he peed some. This was totally my fault as I told Ben that he didn't need any pants for bed.

I forgot that we put a Velcro cloth diaper on him for sleep time because I pack them the most with soakers and doublers so that he doesn't leak all over the place. Josiah can take those off, and as always my pregnant mind didn't remember that small important detail.

So after smelling the nice big whiff of poo from his bedroom I put him in the tub and my mom came just in time to take him and dress him so that I can clean up the poo mess.

It was an easy clean up, which was good, cause my nausea was dealing with it very well. :/

Hopefully I get my rest tonight, I had a good weekend, I'm just ready for my son to fall asleep on his own again. :)
