Remember that cute little post I wrote, thanking my carseat for helping Tiny Baby to sleep more?
Well, since then I had a terrible bout of temporary insanity. For some unknown and illogical, completely crazy reason, I got worried that it wasn’t good for Tiny Baby to sleep in her carseat. (Like, maybe she was getting to big for it or she was going to have a flat head or a crooked neck, or some other weird carseat-sleeping-induced condition.)
Since that dreadful decision, Tiny Baby does not sleep more than two hours- ever. Sleep (I can’t remember the word- you know that condition when you don’t get enough sleep? I think one of the symptoms is forgetting words. . . . .) Anyway, sleep “whatever the heck that word is” has set in. Yesterday when I was driving the kiddos to school, I missed the turn and didn’t even realize it for about 6 more blocks. Luckily, there was still an alternate route available, and they weren’t tardy. Later for ballet class, I was so worried about earlier missed turn that I turned down that street, only to realize after a few more seconds that that is not the way to ballet class!!!! AAGHH!!!
This morning when I got home from driving them to school (by the way, I’m doing all this driving because it’s deer hunting season and dear husband is out in the hills somewhere, dressed in orange) there was a call from the doctor’s office on the phone. Thankfully, I haven’t missed another appointment yet! But there is an upcoming appointment Thursday morning for Tiny Baby. I seriously stared at my calendar for 15 minutes trying to figure out what day today is, what day they were talking about, and which daughter the appointment was for. For a minute, I even had to question who I was- did they even call the right person about this appointment???
(Oh I just remembered the word! Sleep deprivation!)
Seriously, cross fingers for me to be able to get this baby to sleep! And feel free to share any and all advice that you have…. or anything crazy that happened to you as a result of your own sleep deprivation!
