My son is in the midst of a growth spurt, and I am learning to live with little sleep. I know that it is the song of all new mothers, but I am only now realizing how challenging it can be to be so sleepy. Rylen's growth keeps him eating every two hours and actually sleeping quite a bit, but somehow I am failing to nap when he sleeps. It is hard to get a good and restful feeling when your sleep is chopped up into such meager pieces.When he is awake, he ends up exhausting himself by looking around and taking in his world. I still marvel at how new it is to him - yesterday's trip to the grocery store was by far one of the most thrilling things he has experienced (all the lights and new objects!) - and he really enjoys it all. I find myself, even in my fog of my exhaustion, being as happy as he is. And he smiles a lot, very excited to see it all....
