I haven't been online or crafting much the past month (except for the madness of the last post). Ella has been really bad at night. I've been waking up every 2 hours or one hour every single night for the last month. I'm exhausted and burnt out. I have to drag myself out of bed for every feeding and have to be up every morning around 6am cause she's up and I have to keep her quiet as to not wake daddy or Audrey. Then when she's ready to fall back asleep after an hour, it's time for Audrey to get up and get ready for school. By the time I put Audrey on the school bus, I'm praying that Ella is ready to sleep again so I can get some rest.
These newborn nights can be so difficult... when will she sleep through the night? Please don't let it be 3 years and 3 months like her sister!
Hang in there, Kryssi! Sleep deprivation is the hardest thing to deal with when taking care of the new-born/baby. Remember! This will NOT last! hugs to you!! xo

awww... poor girl... I really hope that Ella gets into a better sleeping pattern soon... sending you lots and lots of hugs! =)
ReplyDeleteI feel with you, Kryssi! Sleep deprivation IS THE hardest thing! I hope Ella will give you some rest, soon! Wow, Audrey needed 3 years to find her sleeping pattern!?! And you really wanted a second Baby? After a little more than one year of sleep deprivation I gave up the thought of a second one :)
ReplyDeleteBig Hugs to you!
She will soon, hang in there!! I remember those rough nites and it doesn't seem to stop even when they are 5 or so it seems! Hugs to you and hope you will be able to rest easy soon!
ReplyDeleteHang in there Kryssi...it will get better soon!! For now get all the rest you can when you can.....
ReplyDeleteBig hugs!

ReplyDeleteSending you some hugs, know how tough it can be.... but each day your baby is a day older and the fog/jet lag feeling does go.... eventually!!! Mind yourself - hugs. Deirdre x
ReplyDeleteI don't really know what else to say that's has already been said...sending hugs your way! :)
ReplyDeleteall i can say is i got used to sleep deprivation and when i got too much, i was actually more tired (if you can believe that). my 2nd one never slept through the night til he was 2ish. always wanting to have his milk every 3 hrs, then every 5 hrs. maybe she's on a growth spurt. hang in there--i know it's hard! i feel your pain.
ReplyDeletemy 5 month old wakes up every two hours on the dot. He wakes up to eat -- he eats 4-6 oz then goes back to bed instantly. And he's not a fat kid, either. Some people think "aw, now he's conditioned that way", but I really do think he's hungry. And hungry again. And hungry again. So, when I'm waking every two hours, I"ll think of you and hope that it is your time to sleep :) There is comfort in numbers, right?
ReplyDeleteKryssi I hope that you get the rest you very much need soon. Hopefully the sleeplessness will ease soon. I am thinking of you xoxoxoxoxoxo
