Good morning everyone!
Its almost 8am and I’ve been up since roughly 4am with a teething baby who has two molars coming in. (Send help) Her sleeping patters for the last two weeks have been absolutely awful and I am loosing it. The constant whining and crying all day, and then at night she’s up every 3-4 hours and it takes about 45 mins to get her back to sleep, so clearly we aren’t getting much sleep over here. And like clockwork she is up everyday at 6:20am!!! It makes no sense, how is she not tired?!
After about 2-3 weeks of the same thing is when sleep deprivation starts to set in for me and I get into this funk where I don’t have the energy which makes sense because I haven’t had a decent nights sleep in weeks, and my PPD/PPA starts up again. I can just feel it, I’m emotional, I’m angry, I can’t think straight, I don’t want to be around anyone , and everything bothers me. It doesn’t just affect me emotionally , its mentally and physically too. I don’t have the energy to do anything but I have too, because I can’t sit inside with a 14 month old all day, the idea of cooking dinner just exhausts me. It affects my daily routine like crazy, I try so hard to work on myself day by day and then I’m completely thrown off from lack of sleep. If you’re reading this and you have some helpful tips/tricks to help gianna with teething and sleeping longer I would greatly appreciate it. At this point I’m willing to try whatever. Now its time for more coffee, hope you all have a great day!
