I honestly think the hardest part of having a new baby at this stage in life is the lack of sleep. At least in my twenties I was used to not sleeping alot and still seemed to have alot of energy but at forty-one it is much harder to get up and go when I used all my get up and go in the night.
The baby was sleeping better for a couple of weeks then he started teething and now we are having trouble sleeping again. I am not sure who was more miserable last night him or me.
I walk around like a zombie after one of those nights and I am not one of the people that can sleep when the baby does. When the sun is up and out I can not sleep unless I am beyond exhausted which takes a couple of weeks to get there.
The first time I fell asleep with the baby at nap time I was shocked and so was everyone who knows me. Truthfully what I need to do is go to bed earlier than I have been. But who wants to go to bed at eight pm?
I have noticed I have alot more patience this time around and that is a good thing. And I appreciate all the little things that babies do more now that I am older. With age does come appreciation for things you never took the time to notice before and I am grateful for that.
