So I've stopped fighting it, my apartment can be dirty all it wants, I don't really care. I'm not a supermom, I'm just me. A mom of two trying to survive on 5-6 hours of sleep (if I'm lucky), because my boy likes to wake me up 3 or more times a night to nurse.
Sometimes he will fall back to sleep but most times does not (trust me, I don't rush to get him), and I'm frustrated because it seems all the women I know personally who have had babies around the same time as me all say that their babies are sleeping through the night, but mine isn't. I would be okay if he only woke up once or even twice a night to feed, but any more than that I feel like a walking zombie, I need my sleep!
Am I doing something wrong? Probably, but what it is I don't know. I would try and let him really fuss it out sometimes, but he sleeps in the same room as we do, so he wakes me up and I figure, might as well nurse because it will help keep my pathetic nursing supply up.
I'm just so tired people.

You poor thing! You are in the worst phase of mothering. I promise it gets lots better. Having two kids was extremely difficult for me. I thought I was losing my mind most days and cried all the time. It was exhausting and depressing and the babies were extremely demanding. It does not get worse than this. I promise. It only gets better.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Say Hi to Mary for me. I think about her all the time but she is not on Facebook so I never talk to her. Tell her she needs to get on Facebook and she needs a blog:-)
Oh not fun! I hope he gets through this stage soon so you can get some much needed Z's. Take care~
ReplyDeleteI do not miss that part of motherhood, girl! Praying things ease up for you very soon.
