Sleep Deprivation
They tell you, when you have kids, that you get used to the sleep deprivation. Its been a year and I haven’t yet. I am used to sleeping less hours at night, My body says 6 hours of sleep is all it needs now, where before anything less than 8 would have me dragging all day. Its just getting those 6 hours of sleep thats the hard part. If its not waking up in the middle of the night to get a bottle, its a diaper, or its because I think hes awake and he isn’t. I usually wake up every 2 hours unless hes in the bed with me, in which case I do get to sleep more, but with the penalty of having a very tiny foot in my face.
It never ceases to amaze me that a child that small can take up a whole queen sized bed. I just hope he starts sleeping through the night soon, so I can too.
