Tunnel Of Darkness



Thank you to everyone for all your kind and loving comments. I am finding it very hard to do much of anything right now as we all adjust to our new family, even showering. Currently, we are trying to figure out how to help Little Munchkin sleep during the night and not so much during the day. Very exhausted. This is why I call this stage, "The Tunnel Of Darkness." Another mom called it that one time and it seemed to fit so well that I now use it. You are in a whirlwind of things to do and get done and the whole way you are so tired (both mentally and physically) that you can hardly keep your bearings on the day, who ate and when, answering the phone, etc. Little Buddy definitely keeps us on our toes. Funny, when I had one I thought it was so hard. Now I think back at how it was so much easier in so many ways. I will hop on the computer periodically and check my e-mails and even see who's writing about what without much of a chance to read anything. Hoping our new little bundle can sleep through the night in a few months, (which seems like an eternity away). Until then, I will see ya around and miss everyone and blogging too. Oh, and sleep, I remember that wonderful luxury I used to enjoy. Hope you are all having a good November and are looking forward to the upcoming holidays. Heading up now to give my body, brain and my breasts a rest. Feeling very blessed and sleepy. Later!

Wow. She is one cute baby.

Thanks for taking the time to update us! I've missed hearing from you but can understand all too well. I hadn't discovered blogging yet when my kidlets were newborns, but I can relate to feeling out of touch with anyone and everyone.

I wish I was a fairy so I could give you (and your adorable little girl!) one full night's rest without interruptions with the most comfortable sleeping position...I wish I could grant that for myself too!

Good luck and know that I'm always just an e-mail away if you need to vent.
