So I haven't slept in five months which is, like, a big deal for me. It's a secret that moms keep from potential recruits, failing to mention it in the literature that shows smiling mothers cuddled up by their adorable sleeping babies. Other mothers may tell you that labor sucks, that diapers stink, that baby weight is as impossible to ditch as an overzealous ex-boyfriend. But noone mentions the total and utter basketcase you can become when your record for consolidated sleep is stuck at four hours.
Josh is an unbelievably easy baby, so sweet and happy all the time. But he's been on a sleep strike since birth and refuses to negotiate with me on this one minor point.
I've been reading "Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child," which several girlfriends have testified about with an almost religous fervor. The suggestions are almost fanatical
