I need a coffee IV drip...

OMG y'all, I am soooo tired...


I've been living on 3-5 hours of sleep a night for about 4 months now and I think I'm about to collapse. My head hurts and I'm nauseas because I'm so tired.


Brayden has no problem sleeping... the problem is getting the girls to bed, and getting DH to stop talking long enough for me to go to sleep LOL. Then I finally get to sleep and 30 minutes later Brayden is awake again wanting to nurse... so I go sit with him on the couch and fall asleep with my head hanging down (which explains the headaches!). From now on I'm making this kid a bottle before I go to bed so I can actually stay awake while I feed him in the middle of the night.


Y'all are really funny BTW... I don't know why everyone keeps asking for a birth story when there really isn't one. I pretty much told you everything when I posted that he was here... I went to the doctor, nothing was happening and we all agreed that he was just too big to fit, so we did a c-section that day... the end LOL. Oh and Olivia it takes at least a year or longer for the numbness to go away.


hey is anyone available to chat friday???

Aww Desiree, I remember those nights falling asleep while nursing the baby. I remember,too, putting the baby to sleep and rushing to bed and not being able to sleep! And then as soon as you fall asleep the baby is up wanting to be fed. Hang in there, it goes soo quickly, he will be 2 before you know it.

Desiree,


As I read your post about your sleeping situation I couldn't help but remember the "good old days!"
