Sleep...What's That?

I'm sure that for the first few months the only thing any new mom talks about is how tired she is.  It's unbelievable when I add up just how much sleep I get- which is about 4 hours not consecutively.  Baby B is on a wonky schedule.  She sleeps pretty good throughout the day, however, she and Pip are on opposite schedules.  So when Pip is awake B is asleep and vice versa.  Her longest stretch of sleep is from about 8-midnight (right now as I write this post I should be sleeping...right?).  But 8-12 is when I get my quiet time with Bobby and a chance to watch our shows together.  And, even if I did go to sleep at 8, I'd have the most difficult time because I'll be anticipating the wake-up.  At midnight B wakes up for a feeding and then drifts off to sleep for about 2 hours.  Between 3 and 4 is the next feeding and sometimes it's pretty short so I can go back to sleep for an hour or so until about 5:30 when she wakes up...for good.  Ugh.  She is literally bright eyed from about 5:30ish until 8.  It's horrible since Pip wakes up at 9.  So, if I can fall asleep I get about an hour until I have to get Pip.  Sometimes, I'll fall asleep while holding B or I'll put B in her Boppy so she can stare at the ceiling fan.   I'm glad she doesn't cry hysterically, though I might be eating my words soon enough on that one since Pip was colicky.  I do not wish colic on any parent.  I'd take no sleep over colic.

Sleep. We should get together sometime.

Sleep.  It's a distant memory.
