It feels like we'll never sleep again

Connor's not sleeping these days which means that all of us are walking around with dark circles under our eyes. Yes - Jenifer I am reading the Healthy Sleep Habits book, but so far, it doesn't seem to be working for us. The worst part is that one night he sleeps like a champ and then the next night (without warning) he's up all night and nothing we do will make him happy. I guess that's par for the course when it comes to newborns.

Sadly, Ross and I made a classic new parent mistake. In a moment of desperation (and extreme sleep deprivation) we let Connor sleep in bed with us. Even though we're regretting this decision now, it was the only way we could get more than two hours of sleep. Now three weeks later, we're fighting to get him back in his own bed. He can be 100% asleep but the second we lay him into his bed, his little eyes pop open and he begins crying hysterically. Ugh!
