Sleep has been hard to come by lately. I have no problems sleeping when allowed to, but my two littlest ones have been having a hard time sleeping themselves.
Our youngest baby girl, who is now recovering from a cold has also been battling very large pulsating gums due to the very large molars trying to come out. Poor thing, she is only 15 months old, give a girl a break.
Babies sure go through a lot, don’t they? I mean right off the bat they are getting squished, squeezed and pulled on just to get born. Than the nurses wake them up every hour for temperature readings (I know it is necessary). Than they have to get shots, hearing tests, washed, etc…
Than they go home and all our babies want to do is sleep, but we can’t stop holding them, touching them and talking to them. Only for us to shortly begin begging our babies to go back to sleep.
Than there is the whole gas thing… I tried my hardest to feed our little ones properly, tried to help them latch on perfectly, but it didn’t matter. Our little ones still looked up at us desperately, “pat me, burp me, help me toot, I don’t care, just get it OUT!”
Our youngest when she was new...
Ignore the time stamp, it kept resetting. She was born in 2008.
