Don't know what's worse!

Here is the update on sleep training our kids.

Taylor: He is a horrible daytime napper. He usually naps anywhere from 20-30 minutes and would cry for an hour after waking up. The first few times, he vomitted and I'd have to clean up all the time and put him back to sleep. Now, it's been poop! Every time I've picked him up, he's had a poopie diaper. So what's worse? Vomit or poop? However, he has been sleeping through the night for about 12 hours straight. We've had three great nights so far. I guess the exhaustion from crying during the day catches up to him in the evening. I'm following the author's recommended nap times to help avoid overtiredness, which causes him to toss and and turn during night time sleep (he was an expert on this before sleep training leaving me with less than 4 hours of sleep a night!) Anyhow, he usually wakes up between 6-7 am (so hard for me), first nap starts between 9-10am, second nap starts between 12-1pm. Then, he goes to bed between 6-7 pm. Sometimes we hear him whimpering or whining at night, but he would soothe himself to sleep.

Jacob: He needs lots of love and hugs! Jacob naps once a day between 11-12 noon. We try to follow his preschool naptime schedule and he has been so cooperative at home. I usually give him a hug and kiss and turn on the music for him to soothe himself to sleep. At night, Jacob goes to bed right after we put Taylor down. It takes anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours for him to fall asleep. Routine starts with using the bathroom and brushing his teeth. Then, he gets to choose three books to read, which are usually Laura Numeroff's books. She's his favorite author right now. Then, it's another request to use the potty before the meltdown. He cries for me to sit in the "brown chair," which is a chair in his room. He frequently turns around to make sure I'm still there as he is trying to fall asleep. Now, with my growing belly and body, it is so hard to do especially when it takes him longer than an hour to fall asleep. I'm supposed to move the chair each time closer to the door until he finally falls asleep on his own, but it's been hard to do. I think it will get easier when I don't have a protruding belly. Anyhow, he earns a sticker for every night that he falls asleep in his bed. Right now, he can trade in his stickers for prizes. We are starting with five and increasing it slowly. He has requested to go to the Railroad Museum in Galveston for his first prize.

Emma: She moves whenever she wants...typically when the boys are giving me a hard time. She's doing well. Last week, she weighed 7 lbs. so the doctor has decided to induce me. Doctor said she is "definitely chunky" and "quite large."

Soooooooooooo....by the time the kids are both asleep, I am completely DRAINED! I look forward to some quiet time with Jeremiah, but most of the time, he has fallen asleep on the couch! :( Hopefully, things will get better...but with Emma joining the family in a few weeks, my hopes will have to be put on hold. Bottomline, I want my family to develop better sleeping habits. I'm last on that list though...life of a mommy, right? Hehehe.
