Uh, hello? I thought we were starting to get more sleep? I thought Nyla was getting used to sleeping through the night? I thought the middle of the night wake-ups were close to done?
Apparently not.
I guess I shouldn't get used to anything in the first year or so, as nothing is really predictable with her right now. Just when she's starting to sleep well, she stops. Just when the constipation is seemingly over, it returns. Just when she stops spitting up, she does it on my face. Lovely.
It's all good though, I'm just happy to be a stay-at-home mom right now. I was telling Paul the other day that I was feeling kind of guilty for staying home. I mean, this is the first time in 14 years that I haven't had school or a job to go to everyday. It feels weird to not have somewhere to go at a specific time in the morning. But I don't feel guilty about it anymore; I feel comfort in the fact that I am taking care of Nyla. I know, first-hand, that she's safe and happy and can get the snuggles in when she wants them. Plus, I'm saving us upwards of $1,000 a month on childcare.
The downside of being a SAHM? Hello, I don't even get dressed or comb my hair. I'm one of those moms. The ones who look like a hurricane has gone around their head all night long. I see the moms who are put together and have nicely coifed hair and I just want to spit on them. Where do they get the time to do that? At least I haven't gone so far as to wear my pajamas out in public. Well, I wear them through the Starbucks drive-thru but not if I have to get out of the car! That would be crossing the line for me...and Paul.
