06-5-2008 - sleep deprivation excited and tiredMy mood while writing this blog:
excited and tired



Hey ladies my son will be two weeks old tomorrow and im just now being able to check my messages and emails and i think it will be forever til i catch up.. but i was sleep deprived.. i think every mom goes through it until she realizes what i did... THIS IS CRAZY and I CANNOT live like this... being a single mother, my mom has been helping me.. we were up at every feeding and taking shifts letting him sleep on us while the other one got to sleep in their bed, and then rotating at the next feeding.. cause he wouldnt sleep without us doing that.. or so i thought... TIME FOR A SCHEDULE... i implemented a schedule where I feed him for about 30 minutes total he eats... i keep him awake for about 15-20 minutes, and then i lay him in his crib and put him down for his nap.. my sister swore by this and her 8 month old started sleeping through the night at 8 weeks... waking her only once for a feeding.. so i thought anything was better than the craziness i was doing... and guess what? it worked!!! i went from the night before the schedule finally falling asleep at 530 am and that was only cause my mom took my son and let him fall asleep on her in the rocking chair... to last night sleeping a total of 7 hours...3 hour nap.. feeding..3 hour nap.. feeding.. 1 hour nap.. wake up take a shower..get ready.. eat.. then wake up my son to feed... its been amazing, and I pray that i have contintued success at this, but i had to post this as well as on my page because many of you are probably not sleeping.. :) Love and blessings.. PS how do we stay in contact with the women from our pregnancy weeks?? just going by how old your child is? if so im sure all my ladies are suffering from lack of sleep.. on the other hand, its the best kind of tired you can be, if you have to be tired.. :) praying for all of you! Courtney
