I know sleep comes and goes throughout motherhood.
But DEAR GOD, when will I get it again!!!!!
Clearly I'm on the verge of a mental breakdown due to my sons lack of consistent sleep. Is it crazy of me to think that perhaps my 13 month old son might start sleeping through the night?? Is that a totally off the wall thought.
I feel terrible, I feel horrible, but most of all.....I feel jealous of all those other moms out there who have a great sleeper.
Just last night, he fell asleep at 6:45 for the night,...... in parts because he didn't have a good afternoon nap, it was a car nap that lasted 20 minutes if that.
(Which in looking back, my lack of consistency with nap time may be a big big factor in all these sleep issues)
He then woke at least three times before 10 with stirring.
Fast forward to Hubby and I being asleep in bed.
We brought Harrison in bed with us because it was soooo hot out. AC is in our room only so he slept between us.
He woke another two times from 11 to 3 in the morning. I, being too lazy, decided it was just 'easier' to put a water filled bottle in his mouth. He falls right back asleep with that.
I'm just prolonging bottles, and making it harder for myself later. I know. But, I want sleep now.
So.... the Hubby gets up for work and sure enough the baby gets up too. At 5:30 am.
What. Is. Going. On.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh......
So my baby boy that was on the verge of sleeping through the night only two or so months ago has now regressed to newborn stage.

Oh my gosh - sounds horrible!! You need a nap! :(
I'm a new follower from twitter.
We have a lot in common - mommies, newlyweds (well, I've been married for a little over 2 years... not sure if that still counts), I used to be a teacher and I also love art.
Looking forward to reading!
