Two words....

Sleep deprivation. I am sure that most moms with a newborn and a toddler can relate to this term. When I had my son, it was so much easier. I could nap when he did, so it wasn't too difficult to get up in the middle of the night to do feedings. I should have realized that with him now 21 months old, I wasn't going to have the same opportunities to sleep throughout the day. And it was pretty naive to think that I could get the kids to nap at the same time. NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. To make it even more interesting, Grace has decided that she is not going to go to sleep after feeding at 10pm. Even after keeping her awake for most of the time between her 7pm and 10pm feeding, she is still raring to go! I don't get it. Rather, I am getting it. I myself am more of a night time person, I especially enjoy the middle of the night when the rest of the world is so quiet. I can think without interruption and tend to be more creative at this time of day... maybe that is when I should be blogging. As I speak, the swing is rocking away and Zander is eating lunch... I think. Best go check and make sure the dining room floor isn't covered in corn and whatnot.
