Yes it is for us for a very long time, since he was 4 or 5 months maybe (unless if he's sick)? It seems to be your life too now. Yay congrats and good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-how-normal-parents-do-it#post-559473 Sun, 10 Feb 2013 21:57:14 +0000 apis 559473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Congrats! I hope it is, but our little man took a few hours to go down to sleep tonight... if your little bundle continues that way, keep those fingers tightly crossed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-how-normal-parents-do-it#post-559442 Sun, 10 Feb 2013 21:32:00 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 559442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Awww!

Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-how-normal-parents-do-it#post-559349 Sun, 10 Feb 2013 20:09:48 +0000 travelgirl1 559349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JessLC: Ha ha, thank you. We ate dinner together for the first time in months. I forgot what that was like!</p> <p>@yoursilverlining: What you just described is what happens in our house every.single.night, lol. Glad to hear it does get better eventually : ) </p> <p>@Meggo5: Ahhh I would but am too scared she'll wake up and want to feed (even though she would probably refuse it anyway, ha ha)</p> <p>@katiew92081: That sounds like bliss. Whole evenings to sit down! </p> <p>@Rubies: I'll miss the exercise though. I reckon I must pace about ten miles every night : ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-how-normal-parents-do-it#post-559333 Sun, 10 Feb 2013 19:51:02 +0000 Rubies 559333@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I stopped pacing when LO was about 5 months. Freedom! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-how-normal-parents-do-it#post-559309 Sun, 10 Feb 2013 19:39:55 +0000 Dandelion 559309@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, mine is 5 and goes to bed around 7 on school nights. He's been going that early since he was like 1, so yeah it's lovely. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-how-normal-parents-do-it#post-559303 Sun, 10 Feb 2013 19:37:38 +0000 Periwinkle 559303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Enjoy!!!! We haven't quite made it there that early but it's a beautiful thing when C goes down easily. Have a glass of wine!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-how-normal-parents-do-it#post-559286 Sun, 10 Feb 2013 19:23:23 +0000 yoursilverlining 559286@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LOL. I remember the first night my newborn LO didn't make us pace all over the house, swing her for hours and hours while she cried and fought sleep, and instead just went to sleep. I felt like; you read about this happening...but you start to think it will never happen to you!</p> <p>The newborn stage is hard; hang in there - it does get better, and what you're experiencing tonight does become the new normal. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-how-normal-parents-do-it#post-559281 Sun, 10 Feb 2013 19:20:50 +0000 SleepyMonkey 559281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yay! Good luck tonight! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-how-normal-parents-do-it#post-559276 Sun, 10 Feb 2013 19:20:00 +0000 travelgirl1 559276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's gone 7pm and A has been down for over an hour. FINGERS CROSSED she stays that way. No screaming, no pacing up and down for hours, no rocking all night... is this how everyone else lives? I love it! </p>
