Sleep Torture, Bribery and Pride
Writing by Bree on Thursday, 11 of October , 2007 at 7:55 pm
We are having absolutely no real sleep. Sasha doesn’t like to sleep at night but I am working on getting her more settled, don’t really feel like we are making much progress. I am sure that she is working for the FBI or something to torture us.
Although the torture of lack of sleep is hard, she is thriving she has but on 850 grams and grown 4cm in two weeks. That makes me feel a lot better knowing that she is growing and that my milk is ok. Last night I tried to give her a formula bottle just to get some sleep. Well I ended up crying a lot thinking that I was a failure. She drank 1/2 of it than had some boob. Than woke every hour screaming due to tummy ache. So formula just wasn’t to be.
When the health nurse came today she was really pleased with Sasha and was very supportive and offered a lot of services that are available in our area. As we have no family living here that can help she was very happy with how we are progressing and said that Sasha was a great baby.
James and Letise were outside playing while the health nurse was here and Sam was having a sleep. The health nurse said it was nice to hear the kids playing so well together. Which reminded me that James and Letise can get on, most of the time I feel like all they do is fight.
Yesterday the kids and I went to the shops to get some food. I was feeling a tad concerned that I wouldn’t be able to do it on my own, but I surprised that we managed rather well. In the end Sasha started to scream her lungs out and the other kids went feral. So I put Sasha back in the pram but Sam in the front part of the pram telling him not to lay on Sasha and pulled the other two kids into line by bribing them with Smarties. By this time all these people were looking at me with this sadden look of THAT GIRL IS NUTS. So I left the shopping center with my head held high struggling to push a pram and a trolley, but hey I did it. (don’t think it is possible to hold your head high when you feel like a tool.lol)
I am loving being a mum and seeing everything as such a blessing although at times I do feel a tad overwhelmed. Being where I am in life is great, but it is challenging.
Praise God that I have him.
