Sleep?

sleep 
A natural periodic state of rest for the mind and body, in which the eyes usually close and consciousness is completely or partially lost, so that there is a decrease in bodily movement and responsiveness to external stimuli. 

A New Mom's Definition of SLEEP...
A natural VERY PERIODIC state of SEMI-REST for the mind AND/OR body (rarely both at once), in which the eye close and EVERYTHING IS DONE IN A ZOMBIE-LIKE FASHION.

sleep 
A period of this form of rest

Multiple short periods of partial rest mixed with jumping up to a baby crying in the crib across the room

sleep 
A state of inactivity resembling or suggesting sleep; unconsciousness, dormancy, hibernation, or death

Yeah right...death might be coming for this momma!

Everyone warns you about lack of sleep as a parent..but I never took it seriously! Now, I am struggling.  We were doing so great for weeks, but little girl has regressed in sleep patterns and this momma is on her last leg by the end of the week!

Hoping it gets better soon!!  In the meantime, at least she is cute?!

  1. She's adorable! And the lack of sleep that comes from a restless baby demanding even the slightest attention in the middle of the night, turns into sleeplessness that comes from a Momma that is up worrying about her adolescent child when she's out with friends. The lack of sleep comes from many situations, trust me. But it's worth it in the long run...enjoy the little time while you can...it doesn't last long enuf!
