The joy of motherhood

Not that I really wanted to share this photo - but Steve thought it was funny.
This is what someone looks like when they went to bed at 10pm, got up at midnight, got up at 2:30, got up at 4am, got up at 6am, tried to go back to sleep while Dad tried to fed the baby, lay in bed awake for 45 minutes while said baby cried because she won't take a bottle, and finally, at 7am, got up, fed said baby, and cried and cried because said baby won't take a bottle or sleep for more than 2 hours at a stretch at night.

ah joy.

Oh Aimee. Keep trying with that bottle; Drew had to work with different angles, etc.. It will get better. She will sleep longer. I promise.

I am so sorry. Heather and all the other Moms are right. It will get better, but that doesn't help you and Steve right now. Just sleep when Stella sleeps. And about the time that Stella does start sleeping through the night, she will start cutting her first little teeth.

hey...I know that lady...she shows up in my mirror from time to time.
It will get better. It will get better. It's also ok to get earplugs and sleep in the car for two hours while Steve is trying to feed her. Then he can head to the backseat while you give her the boob and so on and so on...
