This week has taught me that being a mom means:
A full night of uninterrupted sleep is not as sweet as I had thought.
Ryan and Brayden are in Missouri right now. I miss my little family. I remember when I left them there, I said goodbye and Ryan said to me, "Enjoy sleeping".
Ugh! I should be mad at him because he totally jinxed it. Since I have been home, I have gotten to sleep straight through the night. Beautiful right? NOT!! I have woken up completely exhausted. A couple nights I couldn't even get to sleep till 2 am. My perfect sleep has not happened and in fact has left me more tired than before.
Apparently waking up at 2 am, and dealing with a crying baby, formula all over my shorts and dogs wanting to go outside is my perfect recipe for a good night sleep. Now I'm counting down the days till I see my family and even though I will complain the first night Ryan tells me it's my turn to get Brayden in the middle of the night, I will secretly be smiling.
the first time Tim was away overnight he was only like 6 weeks old. I got up that morning at about 5:30a.m. (which you know is DIFFICULT for me) I sat around as long as I could by 6:30a.m. I had my baby! The first time is hard...now that you've been initiated. You will welcome that sleep!
