So...I haven't been keeping up with this blog lately because this Mamma Bat is tired! Baby boy has decided to change his sleep schedule, despite me getting him into a good bed time routine. Now he wakes up several times a night, very hungry, (growth spurt again I'm assuming) and does not want to go back to sleep in his bed. He wants to be held. He will stay asleep when held. Which is great, except for the fact that this tired body that is in much need of a professional full body massage, hurts. I can hold him for only so long before I lose feeling in my hands and arms. I have many nights of stiff neck and aching back, the battle wounds of motherhood.
Yesterday was a particularly trying day. I was very sleep deprived and on the verge of tears as I held my son, attempting to feed him without giving him a face full of formula, as my husband went off to work. Draygen did not want to return to sleepy land (mom did!). So I filled myself with coffee and begrudgingly started the day. In a couple hours, I had one of those happy moments where I made a pit stop and upon return, found baby asleep in bed! Yes! But...alas, that only lasted about 15 minutes...and it was like that...ALL day. Short little naps, the longest being 30 minutes where I caught a few short glorious zzz's. Draygen was fussy most of the day and I tried my best to have a good attitude (he's lucky he's so darn cute!).So here I am, now the next day at 5:25 am, the sun will be up soon, and as I look at my little boy, not in his bed, sleeping though, in his little rocker chair, I try to remember that it's all worth it.
