Oh man, a few weeks ago I was getting frustrated because Bonnie was waking 2-3 times a night. Now that's my goal.
She's now waking one to two-hourly throughout the night. But I'm now sharing a bed with her and breastfeeding her in bed lying down, so it's not too bad. Actually, I'm not feeling as bad as I thought I would on too little sleep - I think my body is getting used to it. I feel the most tired and emotional from about 3pm until Bonnie goes to bed at 7pm - then I eat some dinner, have a glass of wine and feel OK again.
Yesterday I was having a "wah, why me?" moment with my husband, but he told me that it's probably best that it's happening to me because I'm tough. And I guess it is true, I am a trooper (I was late getting to hospital for my labour because I didn't think the pain was bad enough to be proper labour) and will get through this.
Whenever the whole thing gets to me, I re-read Moxie's rant on the quick and dirty of sleep (link removed). It always makes me smile.
