Ahhh……Sleep. I remember that. I remember when I could sleep whenever I wanted for as long as I wanted. I remember when I could sleep longer than 2 hour intervals.
Ok, so maybe I’m being a bit dramatic, or maybe that’s just the sleep deprivation talking. Somehow I knew I couldn’t always have it so easy with just a 3 am and 7 am feeding. I think Delight was just being kind the first 2 weeks so I could recover. Her new routine is to be up every 2 hours. It’s tiring, but it would be a bit easier to deal with if she wasn’t having such a hard time napping during the day. I'm not sure if she's having gas pain or what. It's hard when you feel like you're playing a guessing game and you're not sure how to help her. I knew that lack of sleep would be hard, but you can't quite comprehend it until you live it. I think I'd rather have a full nights sleep than say go on a free cruise to Hawaii ;)
So while I'm sitting here not quite able to recall the last time I've showered and wondering if she'll stay asleep long enough for me to shower (and wondering why the heck I got on here to blog when I could have been showering), all I have to do is go in and look at my sleeping beauty and she melts my heart and I know it's all worth it. (Plus I know that someday when I'm old and mean that I can pay her back when she has to take care of me ;)
