I am starting to think I am not cut out for being a parent [of a non-sleepy baby]. The no-sleep thing is enough to make me lose my mind. And I’m not even getting up every 2 hours anymore…
Last night he slept for a five-hour stretch, which has been about his usual lately (gone are the days of the 6-8 hour nights—what the hell happened, I have no idea). He usually goes back down for another 3 hours or so, but last night he decided he wasn’t tired, and pretty much just laid in his bed and chattered for a few hours—but it was enough to keep me up (coupled with hubby’s snoring) and then he wanted to eat again, so the process started again, but by then it was light and he obviously wasn’t sleeping anymore…
It’s just SO frustrating. And I know it will be over soon enough…but in the meantime, I feel like a horrible parent for getting so frustrated over it. Especially when he’s just being cute and smiling and cooing at me. I tell him “How dare you be so damn cute to me when I am mad at you for not sleeping!” 😛
So I am one exhausted mom this morning—I’ve been up since 2:30. 🙁
