Daughter Does NOT Sleep!!

I am 8 months pregnant with my second, and my first who is 2 years and 3 months old will not stay asleep. Until 3 days ago, we co-slept. But due to her night awakenings - every 1 to 1.5 hours through the night - I have not slept for longer than 1 hour snatches with a total of about 3-4 hours of sleep per night for the past 2 years and 3 months.

Since he came home, he has slept in our bed with us and taken his naps in our arms. We have typically waited until he is fast asleep before putting him down at night.

Advice on White Noise Machine

As the cooler weather approaches, I'm sad that I will have to eventually give up the fan in my daughter's room that has served as a wonderful buffer to our very creaky house! I looked into the sleep machine available at Babies r us but it didn't seem to go loud enough to match my fan on level 3! Has anyone purchased a white noise machine? I googled and found the main one sold is by a company Marpac Corp. - the Soundscreen 980A. Before I purchase it, I was just looking to get some feedback/reviews from moms who might have tried this...
