It's amazing how much control you give up when a baby comes into your life! Everything is on their schedule. When you sleep, eat and even go to the bathroom! It's the most commitment you'll ever have. There are no "weekends" away from work as a mom, you always need to be there. And though you can get a few hours to yourself here and there, your mind is still thinking about that little guy at home. Right now the hardest thing for me is the absence of sleep. Last week I was able to cope, but not this week! Last night was especially bad. I probably woke up six or seven times, and got up three. And it's not just getting up for a few minutes, usually I'm up for almost an hour each time. I think Cory has been a bit frustrated with how much he's got to settle Jackson as well. Cory takes care of Jackson's bedtime routine. Usually Jackson has a bath, gets a story read to him, then gets rocked to sleep. The past two nights however, all hell breaks loose right after the bath and Cory spends a good hour trying to get Jackson to stop crying and go to sleep. Both nights I've had to nurse him to sleep, and he still wakes up two or three times after I put him down!! Let's hope tonight goes better! At least everything is temperary with babies, things usually don't last longer than a week; good or bad!
