Hi Susan - welcome to the group.
First - would you please turn your caps lock off, it's considered "shouting" on the 'net and I'm sure that's not what you intended - prob the lack of sleep
thanks
As for your puppy, it's easy to forget how painful those first nights and weeks can be :cry: . As you have a crate for him, why not let him be in your room by your bed, that usually works a treat. Where does Bud sleep though as it could cause upset if the puppy is allowed to do things Bud isn't.
Both my boys have always slept in crates in our room and we've had no problems at all. This was after sticking it out for four nights with number one and not being able to stand any more :roll: .
It also helps with holidays and trips etc as we just take their crate and they sleep very well in any room with us.
Good luck and enjoy your two boys
