To all of those of you out there who are pregnant or would one day like to be pregnant, let me assure you that having a baby is, without question, the best thing that will ever happen to you. At least it should be.
Now that that’s out of the way, a baby is also the most exhausting thing that will ever happen to you. James had been sleeping through the night for a couple of months now. Asleep by 6:30 or 7 at the latest and then sometimes up for a bottle at 9:30 or 10 and then NOT A PEEP until 6:15 or so the next morning. Amazing is what he is.
Then two nights ago all that changed. Last night he got up every hour and a half or so. As hard as that was when I was breastfeeding, at least it was consistent. After two months of blissful uninterrupted sleep, this sucks. I’m hoping it’s just a growth spurt or teething. Whatever it is, I hope it’s brief because frankly I cannot function like this. I just read the same paragraph five or six times and am still not sure what it says - and I wrote it.
