Penance

I am one of those moms that you've hated. I am. I'll admit it.

I was one of those moms whose babies always slept through the night.

I tried not to brag back then. I swear. But when you're a brand new mom and all your kid does is eat, sleep, and poop anyway you tend to judge yourself on those criteria. Sleep was the only thing my kids had going for them. And they did it well.

But as they say, payback is a...well...it's not fun.

Recently, my son has been struggling with some sleep issues. My wonderful doctor helped me come up with a plan that may help ease him though these struggles. Except my wonderful doctor's plan isn't so wonderful for me.

I have to get up every two to three hours and check on him for the next three weeks.

It's like having a newborn again!

And my conviction not to have any more children has been reconfirmed.

I forgot how it feels to be so darned tired all the time. If I can still remember how to form words in three weeks time, I'll let you know how it goes.
