I'm Awake!!

OK This is my first time doing the blog thing.  If I am doing it wrong feel free to inform me!!  As it says in my profile I am married and the mother of a 10 month old.  I am also 3 months pregnant.  I remember craving peanut M&M's when I was pregnant with my daughter, now I just crave 5 hours of sleep, in a row!! 
 
We can't seem to interest our daughter in sleeping in her crib.  She starts out there but after an hour or two she wakes up SCREAMING, not crying...no tears.  I have tried the Ferber method of just letting her cry....yeah, right.  She is standing in her crib wailing like she is in agaony.  So I go get her and she immediatly snuggles into my shoulder.  I take her to bed with us, get her back to sleep, put her back in her crib...she is awake before her head hits the mattress.  She sits up, eyes CLOSED and wails....if my hubby and I want any sleep at all I have to lay her between us.  She still wakes up, but I can soothe her back to sleep in a few minutes, usually.
 
So, I wonder when this will end, or how I can "fix" it.  I would LOVE any suggestions.
 
  I am lucky I work in an office where I am almost always alone.  Yesterday I put my head on my desk and fell asleep. I know that is awful, but the wonders of a 15 minute power nap are amazing!  I am also lucky that my parents live a mile from where I work and that my Mom just retired.  No day care to pay for, no colds passed from kid to kid, no unexplained bruises....I am lucky.  I keep telling myself this, everyday.
 
  Ok that is it for today I guess.  I am liking this avenue of venting, no one gets hurt...LOL!
