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.

  4. I'm sorry you're sick. Me and my family have had never ending colds for months and ugh, it sucks. Try not to be hard on yourself. Yeah, easier said than done. ;)

    But I've learned running myself ragged to please my daughter while I'm sick just makes the recovery of a cold worse. Wishing you back to your healthy self soon. :)
