In the past couple of years I have enjoyed the luxury of having children that can feed themselves. This is a luxury because that means I can sleep in. The kids are self functioning and can allow me that great comfort of staying in bed. they know how to QUIETLY watch television, read, or play on their various devices. I have even at some time though wow this is great and perhaps I should have another child to replicate this great system I have established.
Uh..... NO!!!!!
I am staying with some friends that have 2 babies in the home. One will be two and the other is 11 months. Oh goodness I get woken up somewhere between 5 and 6 in the morning and then again between 7 and 8. I then start to have flash backs almost like PTSD. I start to shake remember all those sleepless nights, days, weeks and years. I remember crying along with my daughter begging her to please take a nap, but it never failed, the minute she would fall asleep another child would wake up. These memories had been pushed to the back of my head and for some strange reason had thought that perhaps it could be different this time. Who am I kidding. So I say thank you to Evie and Nathan for being my birth control.
