Who Needs Sleep

There's nothing like a little sleep deprivation to throw you through some loops, especially as a new and hesitant parent with such a tiny person relying solely on your care and protection-! Everything in the last month has become a little bit more challenging simply because when one is tired, normal things become much harder to deal with. But in general we're really settling in well to our new rhythm and life is finally taking on more of what is becoming a familiar pace and routine. Caitlin is growing and changing noticably every day and it's so fun to see her start to respond more and develop a little bit more of her personality. But that doesn't change how true this cartoon is--I can't help but laugh at it!So if you have the wonderful luxury of full nights of uninterrupted sleep don't take it for granted!! That some of us could be so lucky...

YOU'LL GET THERE!!! I remember that first month and it was hard, but for some reason I wasn't all that tired all the time.... the joy of just having her around kept me perky and energized! Babies are the best!!! I hope you got my response to your email about Babywise.... it really does work!!!
