Not a Fan

So, something about me..... I HATE early mornings! and I HATE waking up in the middle of the night. I love my baby, but I am sooooo ready for him to start sleeping longer! He goes down around 10:30/11ish. I get about 3, maybe 4 hours of sleep, then he wakes up acting all starving, and I end up spending about 45 minutes in his room. The hardest part isn't getting him to eat, its getting him to BURP....of all things! Then after I'm all awake, I lay in bed for at least another half hour trying to fall back asleep! Ughhh! It has been 54 nights without a solid night of sleep, and that's only if I count from when he was born. On top of this, I got a letter from Dejah's school saying she's been assigned to the morning session of Kindergarten! Are you kidding me?!! When we went to registration they told me she would be on the afternoon schedule. I am DREADING the entire school year! Logan wakes up to eat between 5 and 6...usually this would be my opportunity to go back to sleep until the girls get up at 8. Even with that, they get their pre-made cup of chocolate milk out of the fridge and watch cartoons for an hour. I don't really have to roll out of bed till 9. With the school thing, Dejah will have to catch the bus at 7:30, and Alex gets up for work around 6:00. Basically I am going to have to start getting up and staying up when Logan does his morning feeding. Like I said, I am NOT a morning person. I become a wicked witch when I'm tired. I probably wouldn't stress about it, but Dejah is going to have to be up at 6:30 to get dressed, have her moppy hair done and a solid breakfast before she leaves. My girls are also grouchy in the mornings, so I will have to deal with that while I'm also feeling grouchy! Uggggh! Well all, that was my wine-fest for today.

  1. I'm sorry to hear you'll have to give up your mornings. It's seems like it never gets easier---giving up those little things that keep us going in life, one by one. It's a good thing those kids are so dang cute!

  2. I hear ya. Kadence will be going to kindergarten ALL Day, so I will be dealing with the early mornings as well, though her's will only be every other day. But still. I hear ya. And I wish I could say it gets better, but I can't when I'm still getting up twice a night with a 7 month old!! I hope your little man starts sleeping through the night soon! good luck!

  3. Everybody's different but I'd be putting that baby in bed at least by 9:00. I know baby wise isn't for everyone but it solved Corbin's sleeping problems in a matter of a couple of weeks. He was sleeping at least 10 hours by 3 months.

  4. This is why I am not a "person" anymore. I am not a morning person, or a night person... not even an afternoon person... basically I am always sleepy. I am sorry I don't have more positive news. Good luck :)

  6. Haha, girl I feel your pain! I am NOT a morning person either. Jace starts Kindergarten on Monday the 10th. And it's full day in Arizona so I basically had no choice. At least she gets to ride the bus. I have to drop Jace off at school and pick him up EVERYDAY! Yah school isn't far, but still. I hear the line to drop/pickup is RIDICULOUS. My world is gonna change as I know it! I guess having one more year to sleep in with the PM K schedule would have just been postponing the ineviteable, right? Good luck with that, I hope Logan starts sleeping through the night. I am at least lucky Brody does that.

    Also, I had to laugh about the pre made chocolate milk sippy cups! That's exactly what I do! Chocolate milk and all. One morning Jace came into my bedroom and asked for breakfast and then said," oops, I have to watch a cartoon first!" Yep, felt like a lazy rotten mother! Haha
