Do you suffer from back pain? Do you have trouble sleeping at night?
Yes. Yes. Last night was really hard. At about 3:00 AM I seriously thought to myself "so this is why mothers are crazy". I don't know how you all do it. I was very tired when I first went to sleep around 11:00 and then at 12:35 Adam woke me to see about the baby. I had not had a whole REM cycle so I was super disoriented. I could have almost been mad at having to wake up but when I realized why I was up I was happy to be up...I feel bad for Adam because he got not sleep either. When I did get up to feed the baby I would go back to sleep but then Adam would stay up listening to her every sound...or lack there of. He would prefer that she make noise all the time so he doesn't have to check her breathing. I am not worried about that. I am more worried about her having her alert moments at night. She sleeps all day then at night after I feed her she just stares at me and wines if I don't hold her. I am not complaining (though it may sound that way), I am just giving some credit to mothers.

Jessica,
It is very normal to "almost" be mad that your sleep is disturbed, but like you said once you are up and see that sweet baby, your almost mad goes away fast. You will also have many moments of "How do people do this?" But as you know it is all worth it, but ALL NORMAL feelings. One thing i did, was went to bed early, so that when they woke up in the middle of the night to eat and then play, I had a little sleep already. It takes a while for them to get their nights and days not so mixed up.
I hope you do take some time and go to the gym or for a walk and give yourself a little mommy time, it always makes for a better mommy when you take a little time for yourself. And the same goes for daddy. I wish you the best, and I am enjoying your site so much, it makes us all feel like we are a part of what is going on.
Love
christy
