sleep deprivation
This past year went by so quickly. It does not seem that long ago that I was walking around (or more accurately waddling around) pregnant with Oliver and trying to keep up with my other two little guys. There was not much sleep to be had at that point in my pregnancy, and, I am sad to say that I am probably getting even less now. Oliver has been a fantastic baby. He brightens my days with his wet kisses, his silly facial expressions, and hugs. I am sure that I was less eager to have the other boys following me all over the house, tugging at me, and always wanting my (and only my) attention; but I have really enjoyed these moments with Ollie...However, I am tired. I cannot remember the last time that I was able to sleep several, consequtive hours without someone wanting to be fed, changed, or pulling my hair while trying to fall asleep. Oliver is completely unable to pacify himself at night and wakes up several times wanting my attention. I guess that a lack of sleep is just another one of those sacrifices to be when having children. All complaining aside, being a mom is great. I may not be as sharp or quick to react as I used to be. It also takes me much, much longer to read a full novel, but I am sure that much of this will pass.
