Zzzzzz

Ahh, “Z.” My new favorite letter.

Didn’t think too much of it before, but going a week without a lot of sleep changes you.

I haven’t been writing nearly as much as I’d like to because my days have been spent caring for a 7 month old who’s in a lot of pain and really wants all her mommy’s attention. I used to be able to write while she was being worn, but she’s hating that too! haha

So most of my free time (when she’s not napping or outside at the pool or getting the mail with Nate) has been tied-up:

Reading about baby sleep.
Trying to get Autumn to sleep.
Sleeping myself.

But I’m taking notes! And we seem to be on the upswing so I’ll write about what’s been working for us and what hasn’t, and share some great posts I’ve found along the way.

I miss having this creative outlet, but man, I love this little girl. And once I stopped mourning the loss of time I’ve been experiencing and remembered that I’m her whole world, favorite person ever, and meal-source (haha), I feel honored and special and it makes me glad to be there for her.

p.s. If you have any advice on teething or can relate to this experience, I’d love to hear about it : )
