I was blessed with a really sweet baby. However, after she had been home about a week and a half she started to sleep all day and wanted to party at 11 PM, 1 AM, 3 AM,
5 AM and 7AM. I think that someone told her that her mama used to be a party girl. They clearly forgot to emphasize “used to be”!
When I was pregnant someone told me to get all of the sleep that I could. Despite that advice I was not at all prepared for the extent of the
sleep deprivation. It was as if I was in a constant trance. I slept. I nursed. And I thought about sleeping, nursing and sleep during the "break time".
All in all, life was good. I had a healthy baby who was acting like, a baby. I didn't have anything serious to worry about.
Eventually though the sleep deprivation, inexperience and anxiety of being a new parent made me more than a little crazy...
