The New Meaning of Exhaustion!


Sorry I have not been keeping up. I barely even know where I am half the time these days. Ben is such a great baby but he is still sleep only 2 hours at a time day and night and when he is done eating every 2 hours he is up with horrible gas for an hour. So I am back to work with maybe 4 1/2 hours of broken sleep per night. I am getting a little worn down. My parents have been great. They take turns coming over every night from 7-11. I usually can get about 2 - 2 1/2 hours of sleep during that time then the fun begins all night.

Since Ben was born so early his stomach is still so little and not fully developed. It can be hard cause for me Ben is almost 4 months old but for him he is just almost a month old going by his due date.

I know it gets easier....just wish it was sooner than later. Being a single mom is by far the hardest thing I have ever done but I wouldn't change a thing....wellll...maybe add a couple 3 hour sleep sessions in there :)

Here is a recent pic. I think he is about 5 1/2 pounds now. My next doc appt was not for 2 more weeks but I just made another one for this Friday. I just want to make sure he is gaining weight and that he is getting enough food. I know...paranoid!!
