Sleep Deprivation
I am having a hard time liking my children right now. Mckenzie has not quit crying since 11:00 last night. I sat up with her and when I'd FINALLY get her to sleep, one of my other darling children would wake up wanting their mommy. Then I'd move and the baby would wake up and we were back to square one. Needless to say, I have not gotten any sleep for two days. And it is SO much harder to be a patient loving mother when all you want is a nap! I thought I was going to get one this afternoon as Elena and Becca were watching Robin Hood and Mckenzie fell asleep. HOWEVER, as soon as I laid down in my nice soft bed, Mckenzie, bound and determined that I NOT sleep, woke up and started screaming. *sigh* I just have to keep telling myself that this too shall pass and I will survive.

I wish I were closer to help out! The first week with Mercedes was so hard! And, don't worry...I still have my hard days, too, when all I want to do is sleep, and the kids won't let me! Usually, the kids come in my room in the morning, and I turn the TV on for them while I'm falling asleep trying to feed Mercedes...that usually last for only 1/2 hour! Good luck...and yeah, remember, this too shall pass...these are the trenches of being a new mom, and it will only get better! :)
We are praying for your little ones to let you sleep. Know you are loved.
I don't know how you moms with more than one child do it! You are amazing! Keep it up, you are a great mom, and I don't doubt for one second that you will pull through and make it! If you need someone to watch the kids so you can sleep, I know we are in Poky, but I would love to help out! Take care of yourself!
Oh my gosh I remember those days. I am so sorry Camille, we will pray for you too.
