A List Because I’m Too Tired for a Real Post
1. Wade was a month old on, uhm, well, I don’t remember which day exactly because I haven’t slept more than two hours in a row for a month, but it was sometime this week.
2. I’m 34 years old, but this week I feel like I’m 100. I think I’m too old for this. Wade if you’d been born 16 years ago I could have partied all night with you. Your 30-something Mommie needs to sleep.
3. Let’s get a couple things straight Wade. See that big, bright, yellow ball in the sky? That’s the sun. When you can see that, you are supposed to be awake. When it’s black outside, and there is no big, bright, yellow ball in the sky, you are supposed to be asleep. Capiche?
4. Dave and I survived the first week of him working from home again without killing each other.
5. My hormones are still wildly out of control from being pregnant. (I was blubbering into my soda for almost the entire hour and a half of Up.) I can not guarantee that domestic bliss will continue.
6. I took advantage of Dave being home more. The basement’s finally clean. Clear the calender for the garage next week, Honey. I don’t think we have the same idea about what “working from home” means.
7.I was trying to get to 10, but I can’t come up with anything else. I’m going to bed. I can get at least an hour in before Wade wakes up for the all-night feeding frenzy.

lol this sounds like me on any given moment!
You don’t have to be more encouraging…All I remember of the first one (18 months old now) is that he started sleeping 8 hours a night at 8 weeks. And other people told me if I survived the first 12 weeks, it would get better. So somewhere between 8 and 12 weeks will be my goal to get my sanity back again (once I take the plunge and try to get pregnant again which with an unemployed husband might be awhile).
But then my son smiles at me, and I melt all over again, so bring on the tiredness, I suppose. 
Oh, I have to mention one other thing…after I had my son, within a few weeks, I was reading an online new article (someone funded this, remember)…it stated something to the effect that researchers had discovered that postpartum depression seemed to be connected to sleep-deprivation. No way!!!! Who’d have thought that possible??

I love naps. I just have to get the stars to align so that my four year old and newborn nap at the same time. It’s happened a few times, and it was wonderful.

Well, ask me again in a month or two when he’s sleeping more, and I’ll be more encouraging!

Oh, don’t worry too much. It’s one of those things when you’re in the middle of it you think it can’t get any worse. But they do sleep eventually. Then you forget how tired you were, and have another one. Then you say, “I don’t remember being this tired last time,” but I probably was. I suppose it’s nature’s way of making sure we populate the world. If we remembered, we’d never have more than one. That said, enjoy sleeping while you can, and congrats on your baby!
This is scary! I’m due in 9 weeks, and will be 39… I’m trying to imagine how tired I’ll be, but everyone tells me it’s impossible. Ack!
You guys are not making me want another one!!
I’d be at least 37 when the next one would be born, and I can only imagine that kind of tired. 
I’m sorry you’re not getting more rest by now! I really hope Wade will let you sleep more soon! With my last son, I was way more tired than with the first one too.
Our babies are about the same age. How great is that?! I am 24 and I feel the same way about sleep. I promise someday they will sleep. That is the only thing I remember from my first child right now is that yes she did sleep through the night at some point and hopefully we will be there soon again. My best piece of advice…Take a Nap ( I did yesterday) It does wonders for the soul
Ugh, I feel you on the crazy hormones thing. I cried during an episode of I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here! Drives me crazy.
