- Tired – A baby who wakes up 2 times a night to nurse makes for one tired Mama. “Sleep when the baby sleeps” does not apply with an older sibling in the house. I know…only twice is pretty darn good for a newborn, but I’m still tired.
- Busy – Holy cow the amount of laundry a little one requires is amazing! Cloth diapering doesn’t help either.
- A bit Insecure – Is the baby nursing, sleeping, pooping, enough? Is my 2 year old adjusting ok to his older brother?
- Spoiled – I have such fantastic family and friends that I haven’t had to cook dinner in 4 weeks! Score!!
- Blessed – I swear I have the 2 best sons and the most wonderful husband ever.

ReplyDeleteI'm just going to come out and say this: whoever said "sleep when the baby sleeps" needs a big punch in the face. :)
Haha! This made me LOL!!!
DeleteOh.... hugs to you! I'm still feeding the baby at 8 months twice a night!! But I've grown more used to it... and she has a quick feed and back to bed. I hope your little man gets his sleep on for you asap!!! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely harder to coordinate yourself with two and the 'sleep when they do' doesn't quite work huh! But make sure you find other ways to give yourself a rest. A DVD (or three) every now and then won't hurt your little ones... and you'll get to have some downtime! xxx
The DVD idea is great! I also use this strategy and I have to say that it's working effectively with my kids. I also enjoy the free time that I get while they are watching. My kids are having fun, I am having fun too--that's a win-win for me. :) You just have to watch out for the time though. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for featuring us. I can completely understand the tiredness of a newborn, well done you for still managing to blog too with a four week old - wow!
ReplyDeleteThank you for hosting SPP. Of course, you're tired -- even two wake-ups with a two year old to chase is a lot. And of course, you're insecure -- unfortunately, it seems to go with the territory. Be kind to yourself and know that the fact that you worry demonstrates just how much you care. Have a wonderful week!
