Sleep? Huh? What is that?

Last night felt like the first day we brought baby J home, in terms of how much sleep I got (or didn't get).I thought we were getting better with the sleeping thing but I guess not. He went to sleep at 11:30pm (like seriously??!) and then woke up at 3:30am... I didn't mind that because I have come to expect that (to the point where sometimes I wake up a minute before he does). BUT then he woke up again at 5, then again at 6:30 then at 8! WTF?!

It better be some type of growth spurt because seriously I am exhausted! He has been up since then until about 5 minutes ago when I was able to get him back to sleep for his morning nap.

I think I would've been better off if I had just stayed awake and watched a movie or something during that time because I now have a serious headache from those 20 minute naps that I took in between his feedings.

Should be a very fun day!

If you can't tell from the tone of this post, I am super annoyed right now. But he's going to wake up with that smile on his face and I'm just going to melt... :)

Welcome

As a first time mom everyone seems to want to give you advice on what, when, and how you should do certain things for your baby.

I'm not here to give advice, just to document and share my experiences with raising my baby. From the normal everyday things to learning that having a biracial baby actually matters to some people...?

Join me as I take on my new job as a mother. :)
