How much sleep do you all need? I feel a bit ridiculous... I have a three month old, who most nights only wakes up ONCE for a quick feed! Although I do have issues falling asleep (takes me a while), I go to bed at a reasonable time (Between 9 and 10) and wake up at 7. It is really hard for me to fall BACK asleep after I feed Luke. This SHOULD be enough sleep for your average person, right?? I have been taking TWO naps a day while Luke naps. Can I blame this on nursing? The interrupted sleep? Could I still just be REALLY behind from an exhausting birth experience? HELP!
How many of you mamas nap when you kids nap? I am not complaining, but it makes weekends so hard because I want to spend all my awake time with my dear hubby. I have always needed a lot of sleep... I just want to LIVE LIFE and not sleep it away!
Luke, two days old in the hospital... sleeping...

Oh I did exactly the same thing for the first 5mths after Liam was born, it's getting better now but I felt like I was sleeping my life away and STILL tired!! Then I would be so behind in everything and usually in my pj's most of the day :) You're normal lol cause if you aren't, then that means I'm not either ;)
I think everyone is differant - to me, sleep is over rated :-) HA I always used my boys nap times as time to get things done but, I'm weird like that ;-) Even now that my boys are sleeping all night, my husband has a job that gets us up in the middle of night so there is still those breaks in my sleep. So . .. if you feel sleepy, sleep :-) (Commenting from Jenna's Journey)
Hi! I am here from the blog hop, but I just (ok, 7 months ago...flies by!) had a baby. The nursing thing really bothered my sleep patterns, too. I think I napped with the baby until he started sleeping through the night which was around the 3 month mark for us. He was a HUGE baby (almost 9 pounds) so he slept for a long time simply b/c he had enough weight. Hope that it gets better for you soon! Enjoy each moment b/c it flies by! Cute blog!

I don't nap because I feel awful when I wake up - but if it weren't for that I SO would! I'm tired all of the time too!! I think it's from being a mom - our brains are constantly going, thinking a million things a minute and I think it wears us out! =)
Stopping by from Jenna's Journey. My son is almost two and I still take naps with him. I feel like even when I do sleep (my son is a horrible sleeper) I don't sleep as well, because I am always expecting him to wake up. So naps save me.
Thanks for all the comments :-) I felt like I was the only one... He sleeps so great at night; 7-5:30 and 5:45-7:30 usually. I think that is STTN at his age... Oh the life. Once I begin to feel rested I am sure I will have another one... oh the joys!
My 5 month old is not sleeping. And I have a 2 year old so odd nap times don't work for me. I'm exhausted too. You are not alone.
Stopping in from Jenna's!
I think that is just called being a mom. We can never get enough sleep.. hee hee!
Hope you have a wonderful week!
I always sleep when my kids do. I NEVER use the time they are asleep for silly house chores. Ha! And I have always cherished my sleep time, I like lots of it, but can definately hop to if I need to. I would say you are normal, but if you still feel that way in a couple months you might want to get your thyroid checked. It can sometimes go crazy after having a baby. That happened to me. :/ Great blog you have here. I identified right away, with the sleep issues. Ha! :)
I feel like I never sleep. Our baby girl sleeps so good, but I am always up late at night catching up and cleaning during nap time... I think I'd drive myself crazy with a messy house and a to-do list that didn't get finished if I did it any other way :)
