Life happens

I am battling my first bout of the flu for this year.  I am very grateful that this is the first time I have had it this year, but it came at a bad time.  Meeghan must be hitting her 4 month sleep regression or something because getting her to sleep at night sucks.  She refuses to lie down and sleep on her own.  She used to get drowsy, I would put her down, and she would drift off to sleep.  Not anymore.  Now I have to rock, bounce, and walk with her to get her to fall asleep.  Then if I try to lay her down she starts screaming like I am murdering her. And if I do manage to get her in her bed, she wakes up after 30-45 minutes. Her frequent wakings plus my flu means I have not been getting a lot of sleep.  That does not help my mood.  I have been such a crabby mom that I feel bad.  Hannah asked me if my fever was gone so I could play with her again.  That broke my heart.  I feel bad that I can't do what I normally do, and that my patience is thin.  Thank goodness it is the weekend so the husband can get up during the night with the baby.  I just hope I kick this bug soon so I feel like myself again.
