1:12am Motherhood Post

Hi everyone. You know those times when you just love your child sooo much that you forget what the hard times are like? I feel like I've been living in that bubble for a little while now...not that it has been super easy lately, but Addy has just been so much fun that it outweighs everything else. I remember the days in high school when I wanted to stay up as late as possible. I would do anything to stall going to bed...well my friends...karma is not nice. Last night and all day today Addy was sick. She was just not a happy girl all day long. I feel bad when she is not feeling well, and I have to admit, I do enjoy that she will finally cuddle with me. However, having sick children is stressful, no matter who you are. I would like to say especially if it is your first child and you just have to figure everything out by experimenting and listening to our own Mom's. Well...its now 1:16am...and I'm still awake...and I would love nothing more than to go to sleep. Jason and I have both been trying to get Addy to go back to sleep...I don't know if the fact that she did nothing all day just caught up with her...or if she just really isn't feeling all that well still...but she is awake...and not just kind of...she is full on awake...screaming. We have done all we can to try to get her to go to sleep but to no avail. You know the saying about being a mother..."sleepless nights"...I guess tonight is one of those. So from me to the rest of you young moms...cheers. Hope your night was better than mine!
