Sleep Where Art Thou?
I think in three months I may have gotten about 4 hours of sleep total. I feel guilty even writing about how tired I am, how draining Anaiese is, how much of a high needs baby she is...when there are so many out there that would love just to fill their arms with an infant, so badly that it hurts. I remember those days. I do. But I feel I need to vent and I hope I don't hurt anyone along the way. I'm just exhausted. She cries nearly all day and all night. She rarely naps and when she does its only for 20 mins or so. She wakes up 5-6 times a night, sucks on a bottle for a few seconds and then goes back to sleep. I wish I could go back to sleep so easily. I toss and turn just long enough to get comfy and then be awoken again. Please BTDT mommies of high needs babies, reassure me this isn't forever, it will end sometime, that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I'm so tired I can't even think straight. I love my daughter, more than life. I just wish she would sleep.
