Sleepless Nights

Once upon a time, my daughter slept through the night.  My biggest problem with night time was the fact that it led to me waking up in the morning with a soaking wet shirt because it had been so long since I had last fed her.  Telling you that I already miss those nights would be an understatement.  Last night I finally was able to get her to sleep at 9:00 p.m.  Kinley then decided she would wake up at, 11, 12, 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, and then be up for the day at 9:00 a.m.  I know a lot of people like to give the advice, "sleep when the baby sleeps", but that isn't realistic.  When she falls asleep, that's my time to finally catch up on the dishes, picking up around the house and to finish the load of laundry that I've had to rewash two other times before because my daughter needed me more than changing over that load did.  Some days I wonder how I'm able to function on so little sleep but then I look over at Kinley and I realize that no matter how hard each day is or the lack of sleep I get each night, it's all worth it because of her.  This little human is and always will be the best thing to ever happen to my husband and me.   

Love, Paige
