anyone else find this a struggle?

i used to be ok with it. it was a struggle i could manage. but since she's gotten so close to the two's its gotten harder. whether she *knows* that the baby is coming and is going to cramp her style, or what i dont know. but she certainly is changing.

our naps and sleep times go kind of like this:
read a book or 2.
lie down on her bed, me beside her and her inside the bed.
she'll ask me to sing a song, so i do. but when she starts to talk or get up or wiggle or ask for water, i'm done singing.
she continues to wiggle/ask for water/be generally protesting.
i lie beside her and close my eyes
she asks for another hug and kiss (which - ya, is cute, but after the third...forth time.....)

last night it took over an hour to get her to bed. then she got up and would only go back with me.
ok. i'm a huge preggo mama getting down on the ground beside her bed (which is half a foot from the floor). its really not easy or comfortable!

i've never succeded with leaving her to put herself to bed, and that is fine with me. i just would like the process to be faster.
are there any tips out there?
