20 min increments
from 3am to 8am that’s how I slept last night…in 20 min increments. It wasn’t enough. I told my husband I feel like I am walking on the edge of totally loosing control and keeping it all together. It is a fine line people….ugh how I hate waiting for life to present a “new normal”, periods of adjustment always make me crazy. i want stability.
Here is another peek at babers, I went in to Frances/Smeeks last week to pick up a birthday sparkler for the older daughter and Georganne snapped our picture. I promise I don’t look that good today!

I am sorry. I need my sleep. But it is funny how when you remember those early months (years later) it is not as bad as when you going through it. If you came for a visit, I would hold her and the big kids could play and you could nap…I have a bedroom in the garage where you can’t hear anything. Just a thought.

That photo is as cute as can be. What a little sweetheart. Love me a new baby! The whole sleep deprivation and unpredictable schedule thing really is rough. I wish I could help!

what a sweetie! you too look awesome.
we were like that too at night our first few weeks, now Tommy gets ticked off when we wake him up to eat. i hope you will have the same ‘problem’
also, how do you get her to keep the pacifier in her mouth? the only pacifier Tommy will take during the day is me, and i tell you, i could use the break.

Sorry about the lack of sleep, wish I could do something to help!

I wish I looked that good – and I don’t have any excuses. My “baby” is 16! Of course, my three teenagers do keep me up to all hours of the night, does that count? I’m sorry about your lack of sleep. Hope it gets better for you.

I so know where you are coming from! I always felt like I was alone in that even though I knew that wasn’t the case. Everything will smooth back down in a short time. In the meantime, keep your head up and say your prayers and know that you are not alone at all. I hope some sleep come soon for you.

Oh sleep how I miss thee. It will present some kind of normality soon, I promise. Do you have a Miracle Blanket? Those things saved my life. (((((hug))))) hang in there sister.
And that baby? Adorable! She is just so sweet. What kind of sling do you have there? So pretty!

The sling, baby and mama are all gorgeous!
I’m so sorry you’re feeling on the edge of Crazy. It is a fine line, you are exactly right. Hopefully you get a nap when the big kids are at school today?
It will get better soon, I promise.

I feel for you! My 2nd is now almost 11mos old. A few months ago I thought I was going to snap from the lack of sleep, then the next night he slept 8.hours.straight! It was as if he knew. Of course it only happened one other time since…but it was just what I needed to get through. It is good to reach out and good to hear we are not alone with our fragile mental states.
