lock it up

So tired. I didn't realize the sleep deprivation would continue, would build on itself, would leave me stumbling through the days gasping, raccoon-eyed, grasping for elusive words needed to form full sensical sentences. Keats is nocturnal, it seems. Nights are his playground. I am the chaperon

He should start switching his Nights for Days around 6 weeks or so... Which isn't to say he'll be sleeping all night, just that that's when he'll start switching over to sleeping more at night.

The sleep deprivation was always the absolutely hardest part to deal with for me. It's beyond normal exhaustion and, unfortunately, can last a long time with some babies. You begin to understand why SO many people tell you to sleep when the baby sleeps. The world begins to revolve around the baby's sleep schedule. Just remember - it's temporary. When you are so foggy that you're not even sure what time of the day or night it is any more, just remember that - it'll all end eventually. :)

It is for me, too. Well, the thrush isn't so easy, but it would be easier if I weren't so tired! ha. yeah, I'm not good at sleeping when he sleeps. That's when I pluck my eyebrows or take a shower or try to do dishes/laundry or, my favorite, EAT! But I do understand now why sleeping with him is recommended. our days lately have been wall-to-wall activity/lunches/social things that have kept us out of the house from about 11am til 8pm every day, which means he can sleep but I can't, but i'm ready to stop that and stay at home more and chill. Otherwise I might burst!

Props to you for doing this THREE TIMES! You're a hella strong woman.
