Enervate

Between full day's work, and continued sleep deprivation at night, I am ready to break a bone. Yes, I am likely to become Bella Swan-ish and just stumble a bit here, and a little bit there coz some days the deprivation bites me harder.

M is still waking up at night multiple times, and takes a feed every time he is up. Between the recent tour of the illnesses, and then nasal congestion and colic, something or the other just makes up to the itinerary every night. 

In between, there were couple of nights of great sleep where he skipped one feed in-between leading to very long phases of deep sleep. I did not wake up then because he woke me up. I woke up because my body was wired to wake up and expect him to rouse me. 

I am just tired.

  1. I've been through those stages with my kids and it was hell. Hope you start getting some good sleep soon.

  2. I've just been staying up too late and getting up earlier than necessary. Maybe there's a "no sleep for earthlings" holiday that we're unaware of.

    Good luck on getting some rest...
