we remember…
& thank goodness for that. Because this little slice of heaven was nestled in my toughest day as a mama yet. I was running on four hours of sleep…that I got in one hour increments overnight. Moments like these remind me how sweet this job is…despite the [abundant] challenges. :) 
Whew girl! Been there.. Sleep deprivation is HARD. I had the problem you read about.. the baby gets into this “grazing” pattern, they nurse a little, fall asleep, wake up still hungry, want to nurse a little more, fall asleep again. AHH! it was crazy. I finally started holding her off to two hours at least in between feedings (which wad tough) and if she wanted to suck on something inbetween I used a pacifier.. finally she started sleeping more! Turns out she also really likes to suck -hence the overfeeding I was doing. My Pedia says some babies just really like to suck more than others. She is almost 3 months and I feel like I can finally read her cues, when she wants the binky and when she’s actually hungry. My boobs are so grateful!! ;) [Reply] That is just too precious. Amazing photo. Hang in there!! [Reply] I’ve been told the “days are long, but the years are short.” Those first few months with a newborn are LOOOONG. Wonderful you are able to capture such sweet moments of your babes to look back on. The sleepless nights will be a distant memory soon….hang in there. [Reply] I am so in love with this photo! With this moment and wit this post! You speak very true words here. Hang in there mama…it will get easier (or at least in some ways it will). :) [Reply] |
