No sleep for mommy (or at least nothing meaningful), broken sleep for daddy and increasing fussiness from Christopher. There is nothing like an inconsolable newborn to make you:
1. feel completely inadequate
2. wonder what the hell you've done to your once peaceful & fulfilling lifestyle
3. become totally irrational over the smallest things
4. contemplate running away from it all and becoming a complete recluse in the Thai mountains...
Of course, all of this will pass.
I already learned that everything changes at the drop of a hat with the little guy.
My solution? I'm just going to slow-down a titch & stop trying to be superwoman.
It has only been a mere 12 days, we're all still adjusting!
If anyone out there has any coping strategies that worked well for them please feel free to pass them along! I'm interested in any advice you might have!
Off to take a short nap before the hungry little guy wakens again.
