All You Need is....SLEEP

This pregnancy seems a lot more difficult than my first two. I mean I haven't had a bunch of complications, but I am having a difficult time. Like I said with my 9 week update, I have lacked energy. I have always been able to survive on about 4 hours of sleep. Usually anymore than that and I am a wreck for the day. Adjusting to the lack of sleep that comes with motherhood has been easy for me. I have been able to get next to now sleep since I was a child.

With this pregnancy, however, that has changed. I am tired all day long and have to sleep like 10-12 hours a night to even feel slightly rested. I feel like I could sleep for the next 8 months and still be tired. The past few nights my darling babies have decided to make sleep for the weak. Nolan is all of a sudden afraid of the dark. We had to buy him a new, brighter night light that only shuts off when it is light outside. This has solved his problem.

It was Ryenn's turn last night. Her day was all thrown off when she had to get up before 8am instead of at 10:30am in order to get to her doctor appointment. She went to bed around 7pm instead of 8:30pm. She started crying when she heard Nolan go to bed at the normal time and cried on and off for a while. After checking her, getting her a bottle, and changing her l wasn't satisfied. I brought her down to sleep in our bed but she though that meant it was playtime. I brought her back up e finally went to bed.

I then had to be up early to do dishes because EVERY single one of our plates were dirty and we were having my mother-in-law and brother-in-law over for breakfast. Like I said, I have lacked energy to even bee awake, let alone stand over dishes that nauseate me. Needless to say, I have made time for homework and my family. That's about it. I haven't found energy to finish any knitting projects, to clean really good, or catch up on laundry. I am hoping that with trimester 2 coming up here soon, that my energy will return to normal. If not, this baby is going to be hopped up on caffeine by the time it exits the womb :)
