Day 71/365 

2 am ish and again struggling with a fussy baby. So tired right now. Last night Baby L woke up literally every two hours – she didn’t even do that when she was a newborn – and me being used to her sleeping 6+ hours since she was nearly two months, it’s been rough. During the day she had her usual power naps a couple of times and now she just did not settle… Up until a few minutes ago. 

Trouble is, with her like this, I find myself not really sleeping. I just take a few naps. I wake up with every little noise, thinking that she is waking up… Urgh. 

I think that she is either missing Daddy (we both are) or it’s her theeth… Or both.

 Day 71/365 – 4 months loving these dancing feet.   

Luckily this is all worth it.

    Hey! 🙂
    I’ve been following this space of yours ever since I found it a couple of years ago and am commenting for the first time because I have also become a mom this year (in March) and felt compelled to leave a few words of encouragement for this rougher phase. My daughter also didn’t sleep as bad during the newborn stage as she is doing now due to teething, it somehow feels harder because one isn’t used to it (if that makes sense…). You seem to be doing great, and your baby L is a delight! No words can replace the lack of sleep but I’m sure just looking at her in between those bouts of restlessness makes up for it immediately and a few months from now, everything in hindsight will probably seem a bit more “rosy glasses on” and, as you put it, “all worth it” 😉 Hope the whole family gets relief from teething duty soon! xx

      Ooh thank you so so much! Comments like yours always make my day! 🙂
      I really appreciate encouraging words from fellow mums who have once struggled with sleepless nights – we’re not alone! And yes, I totally understand what you mean, I just was not used to not sleeping during the night since she’s been sleeping so well from early on.
      And I agree, in a few months I’m almost going to miss it! 😉
      Thank you!
