I’m probably about as burnt out as one can be.
I’m currently running on 4 hours of sleep, and the night before that wasn’t much better. Last night was super rough because now the baby is dealing with reflux, which both of my other kids did, so we were expecting it. But damn, it really does suck. Still, baby Atlas is nowhere near as difficult as my 5 year old was as an infant…and we’re hoping it stays that way.
He woke up at 3:15am and didn’t end up going back to sleep until 6am. It was rough. Every time I tried to lay him down he just spit up and cried. We went through multiple sheets and sleep sacks.
It was a fun time. Being 3 and a half weeks old is tough stuff.
My 2 other boys are….testing my nerves right now. I wish it was as easy as telling them to just go watch tv all day, but instead, I’m insisting on making this harder in myself by being the parent that doesn’t let them watch tv all the time. So basically, we’re all just a little miserable today.
All I want to do today is inject caffeine straight into my veins and sleep uninterrupted for hours. Unfortunately, neither seems like a plausible option.
So for now, I guess I’ll just suffer through this exhaustion filled Saturday and hope for the best.
The time to rest will come again soon enough
Bless him, 3am is not a nice time to wake up … Hope he sleeps better soon
Yes, he usually does much better than that! The reflux just got him last night 🫤
Poor baby 👶 he IS super cute though 😍
Hope for both of you that he feels better soon and doesn’t have any more reflux!
Right??? 🥰
I hope so! No sleep is rough
Awwww cute pictures, thank you for sharing! Reflux is horrible, I hope it will pass soon, both for you as for him. Hopefully this night will be a better one. 🤗
Hugs! My Daughter had reflux, and I remember telling my husband that I fantasized about sleep!
Yeah, it can be reaaaally rough. But it seems like the medicine is starting to help!
Hell, just a few weeks ago I was in this exact same position. Baby was up all. the time. And I couldnt get through the day without lots of coffee. Thanks God he is way more stable now at 8 weeks and making up for all the fussiness with long periods of sleep 😉
I can not wait for that. Everything is so much better when sleep is good!
Oh, definitely. The entire day just feels different when our brains aren’t a pile of mush.
