Ok, so I have to admit that since I’m super tired this won’t be a very good overview today! So I will come back when I’m a little more coherent and add all the better details.
You’re probably asking why I’m so tired. LACK OF SLEEP. You may know how it is, baby has been sleeping through the night fairly consistently for a while and then boom for a few nights in a row you are up several times with them and then you actually start sleeping again and you actually seem to feel even more tired than the nights you were up with baby. Have you been there?
We went through this a tiny bit with a couple of the other boys but as with everything else it is really multiplied this time around. We do know the cause – TEETH – again! We have never had any children who had this much difficulty teething or over such a long period of time and it isn’t just one of them it is BOTH!
So, although we do adore them and enjoy every moment we have with them I have to come right out and admit – I am exhausted and frankly, tired of the whining. I know this too shall pass – it did with all the other boys (much faster with more sleep and less pain, but still) but it is yet another reminder of why those of us in the thick of actually raising our children have definite times of wanting to move past certain stages as quickly as possible.
The older generation often will say – “enjoy it while you can”, or “don’t wish this was over”, or “you’ll regret it when they’re grown”. Although I agree with these statements in regard to anyone who may wish childhood in general be rushed with their children – I do not question any mom who wishes for a trying stage to pass. I hope I remember this when I am the Grammy and honestly, that is why I write this!
So, to spare your eyes from any more of the rantings of a tired mom I will end it here and simply say that I will return soon when I have had a little more sleep to give you the real happenings that I can’t seem to remember at the moment 😉
