ok, so there is a huge difference in a new mom and a new mom with a toddler. the sleep deprivation is taken to a whole new level. you aren't able to sleep during the day when your baby sleeps like you did with the first one, which can make for headaches and really, really long days.
sweet baby #2 has been the perfect baby. until this week. and she's still good, but something is different. something is wrong almost. she's fussy. she isn't sleeping well. she's gassy. and she seems to be in pain immediately after she eats and when i change her diaper. a totally different baby than i had the first week of her life. so i'm in debates on what i should do about it. the doctor is going to tell me to wait it out, but i really think i should switch her formula. we'll see what the conclusion is.
back to sleep. there has been none.
i woke up after an hour of sleep this morning and didn't want to get the day started. i was a little grumpy, you could say. i've been doing so good with little sleep until today. when i turned my computer on, the Lord opened my eyes and got my day going. for the most part.
i have a daily Bible verse that opens up and this is what it said ...
Matthew 24:42 "Therefore, STAY AWAKE, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming."
mylicon drops...I think that is how they are spelled. They were my only saving grace when Sam was a baby! Good luck with getting the sleep...I will be praying for y'all!
