Jaxson is 5 weeks old already. I know. Time flies.
I think the sleep deprivation is catching up with me. I read somewhere about taking shifts with the hubby but my tired brain has yet to figure out the logistics. Especially since hubby doesn’t have a consistent work schedule. Some days he has to be up at 5:30 AM, others he doesn’t have to get up until 8 or 9 in the morning. So ideally, I would pump before I go to sleep so hubby would have a bottle for the baby. Hubby is on call for x number of hours then we switch. Or vice versa.
It would be nice to have at least 5 hours of uninterrupted sleep. But what about when Sophia wakes up in the middle of night? Who goes to her? The person awake who is on call with the baby or the one sleeping? Sometimes both kids wake up at the same time.
I’m sure it’s not as complicated as I’m making it sound. If you figure it out for me, please, leave a comment. I will love you forever!
Then again, I could be sleeping right now instead of staying up late, writing blog posts. Late nights when everyone is in bed–that’s me time. No whiny preschooler, no crying baby, just quiet. I can blog, catch up on blogs, tweet my heart out. My online community keeps me sane. Sometimes I even work late at night.
So if you see a tweet or email from me at 1 AM, don’t judge me. Give me a holler!
The other thing besides needing more sleep. I’m hungry all the time. Tonight I had McDonalds for dinner, a ham sandwich with chips two hours later, then I ate some fruit. Right now I’m having a glass of milk and shortbread cookies. I won’t even tell you what I ate during the daylight hours.
And I think I’m losing weight. Gotta love the no sleep, breastfeeding diet.
