Will We Ever Sleep Again?
I am currently a walking zombie. Our dear Sweet Pea decided to wake up at 4:30am and did not want to go back to bed. Mr. Man tried to cuddle with her and put her back to bed and that didn't work. Every time he was about to get back in bed she would cry. I swear this girl can see through walls. I tried to cuddle with her and that did not work either. I refused to get up that early in the morning and deal with her so into bed with us she came. Now, this has never happened before with us and I hope, pray it is a rare occasion. She finally fell asleep and woke up because the alarm went off. Sadly we all had to get up and start the day. I don't know why she is starting to do this but it needs to stop we need to sleep. Maybe we will get to sleep in about 12 years or so, but I doubt it.

Sleep is overrated.. thats when all the fun stuff happens, just ask any kid. But, i do hope you at least find a nap along the way. Welcome to the blogosphere.
We had the "middle of the night wake-ups just to be awake" with my daughter but after the first night or two I quit trying to appease her and let her settle herself back in on her own. She wasn't wet, hurt, hungry, or anything else-- if she was I took care of it and put her back in her bed. She was just waking up and wanting to be out of bed. It took a few nights but she finally figured out that it wasn't time to get up and went back to sleep. It wasn't pretty, lots of screaming, not fun at all, but it stopped.
It's not the method for every family or every kid but it worked for us.
I feel your pain (and sleep deprivation!)
