It’s 2:47am and I’m up with the baby screaming (the baby, not me). I’ve fed her 3 times and tried every single thing I can think of to help her. Cuddled her, took her temperature, looked for finger, toe, nose, ear, tourniquets. Nothing. She doesn’t even want to nurse. She is just tired and frustrated that she can’t get back to sleep. So am I. And this is what being a Mother is all about; up at all hours of the night looking for toe tourniquets! Okay, okay, maybe not all about, but over two babies, I have spent an astonishing amount of my time looking for body-part tourniquets.
A few weeks ago, I had a couple of fillings replaced at the dentist and I actually enjoyed it! Being able to lie down in the middle of the day and close my eyes for a whole 60 minutes! Uninterrupted! Never mind that that glorious hour also included multiple needle pokes and drilling of teeth. Beggars can’t be choosers. If the baby doesn’t stop crying by 3am, I’ll be forced to begin continue the nightly ritual of chocolate-snarfing in hopes of more downtime in the dentist chair!
I recently had a period of absolute freedom that for the life of me I can’t remember what it was….but I totally hear you on this!!! Glad you’re writing your blogs again–they always give me a laugh or smile when I need it! I think I read that monster-night light one 3 times.
I’m really loving my Indie Twin–thanks again for the advice you gave me about the Chico carseat. I also just bought their new one the Flite and have been really happy about it!
Hope the baby went back to letting you sleep—maybe it was a growth spurt and will be followed by tons of extra sleepy days! These hard nights definitely seem harder when you have a toddler to chase around the next morning!
Hi Elizabeth. So glad to hear that you are loving your Indie Twin. It does work great with the Chicco infant seat. I did end up getting the Indie (single) and love it as much as I love my Indie Twin. The Flite looks nice too! Bumbleride rocks, don’t they?!
