Its common knowledge that once you become a mom your sleep will be affected forever. I remember my sister telling me when I was pregnant with my first that I will never sleep again. I was never a morning person and savoured sleep. It was interesting with our first born getting used to the first 5 months of not sleeping until he slept through the night. And as the last few years passed, sleep existed again. Just as we were getting used to sleeping normally, we decided to have another. And shockingly from day 2, baby T slept amazing. I would try not to brag to friends who weren’t getting alot of shut eye with their babies. I can’t help it if my 4 week old was sleeping from 10-5am! But just when I thought everything was great, the bad nights began. The only thing I can chalk this up to is teething. The past few nights have been crazy. Baby T waking every few hours just for a pacifier turned into almost EVERY HOUR last night. 11pm, 12am, 115am…then at 330am I awoke to my toddler calling for me! Just when I thought I was getting a reprieve!! Its not so much the random wake ups for a quick kiss or to stick a pacifier in a mouth, but getting back to sleep! Of course I start thinking about things as I climb my way back to bed, hence this blog today. Pretty much came up with it between the hours of 345-415am. And my luck, of course, just as I nodded off again baby T was up…AGAIN. This time I gave up and fed him. Back to bed at 530, praying that was the last of it. But no, toddler up again at 650 to come into my bed, T wanting a pacifier yet again at 730, and half our later everyone was up. So, if its not one, its the other. Tonight there may have to be some drugs involved. Unfortunately for me, its not for myself. Its for the teeting….really, it is!!
