Sleep when the baby sleeps...

..Pretty much every experienced mother gave me that advice.  It sounds simple enough.  Whenever the baby sleeps, you nap.  Don't worry about cleaning or getting much done...you have a newborn to take care of!  Hmmm yea...easier said then done.  I can't sleep knowing that there is a chance that Jaden will stop breathing.  I literally watch his chest rise and fall.  I'm pretty sure this is unhealthy.  Especially since now I've been having nightmares when I do fall asleep.

I'm so jealous of Greg because he can sleep.  He doesn't have nightmares.  Just me.  And it's to the point where it's starting to effect me.  The headaches, the general bitchyness and that groggy feeling.

I just may never sleep again.

And although, in the end, just seeing Jaden's face makes things all better...it would be even nicer if didn't fight napping now.  My once quiet, sleeping little angel is now awake all morning and refuses anything but boob.  He sleeps well during the night, but, during the day is a different story.

What is he doing now?  Sleeping.  What am I doing?  Wishing I was sleeping.  What's Greg doing?  Yelling at me to come to bed.  Cause we both know it's gonna be a long night again tonight.

Upside...next weekend...as long as the Vertis Gods work with us...we will be in my hometown. <3.  This whole "having a baby thing" makes me miss my family. :(

Until Next Time:
