When I was pregnant, everyone said the same thing over and over again, "be sure to get your sleep because once the baby is born, you won't have any for the next 20 years!". Ok, so I expected it but OMG, I really do miss it. I am so tired but only when she's asleep. I'm cranky when I wake up. Then I am wide awake until she falls asleep. Then, about 30 min later, I'm wiped. It's amazing how the body adjusts. I get about 1-2 hours sleep at a time. My DD goes through spurts where she will sleep for 4 hours straight for about 2 days, then she goes back to her sleep every 2 hours or so.
I do get my sleep when I can...but sometimes, things just need to get done!!
I am having my family over for Christmas lunch. It is going to be fun, fun, fun!!
I will do some of the prep work over the next 2 days. I think this will definitely make life easier. My DH will be off as of Wednesday, so he will be able to help as well.
We then go to the in-laws for Christmas supper. They have asked us to stay the night, but with a new baby and no set schedule, I think home will be the better place to be. They are only about 20 min away from us so it's not very far.
I still have gifts to wrap and we have to find a Christmas tree!! We don't want something big this year but we definitely need one!! And soon because it still has to be decorated.
I guess we will see!
