Like I mentioned, I am sleep deprived. Emily has her days and nights mixed up and although it is getting better, I am pretty tired most of the time. I am sleeping in until Emily starts to cry–which is usually right around noon. At this point, I have had it and don’t want to feed her anymore–I mean I was up with her all night and she wants to eat AGAIN? (Just kidding)
I have discovered that I can ask Alex, Beth or David (if he isn’t at work) to feed her at this time. I wake up, change Emily and then hand her off to one of the above for her feeding. Then I stumble to the shower and start my day.
Everything looks much better and feels much better after getting my shower in. I’m clean, I don’t smell like baby puke, and my hair is done. Oh sweet shower! How I love Thee! Even though I may be tired, I feel so much better that I don’t feel as tired as I am because of that little shower.
Then, after I shower, I pop open the fridge and open a Coke and then things are really good. I can deal with anything after my shower and a swallow of that sweet nectar. (I’m sleep deprived, remember?)
Beth can feed Emily…
Alex can feed and burp Emily…
Or my sweet husband can do it…
Thank heavens for showers and Coca-Cola! (and for sweet husbands and children!)
