Where for art thou sleep?

 
My darling wakes up anywhere from 2-6 times every night. I can count on one hand the number of times she has slept through the night, and it's not all the fingers. A full night is just too long to be away from me, I've concluded. She's never really slept well. She could do with or without it. So weird. Thank goodness for coffee! I'd be in a fog without it. I feel like I've done all the right things to insure full sleep. She's nearly 19 months old. I haven't slept all night in like 5 years. It's so easy to help the firstborn to sleep solid- there are two of you holding hands, sitting on the floor outside the nursery door, harder with the second, and much harder with the third. Well, that's been my experience. Holden is a hard sleeper like me, and Fount and Sadie are light sleepers like Tim, which makes the crying it out unsuccessful when it wakes everyone up. It's easier for one baby to be awake, than 3 babies.  
 
Sadie, baby, please sleep.
 
Love you,
Mommy
