3 MONTHS WITH TEAM NO SLEEP
3:00 PM
I had just finished up a photoshoot and all I could think about was getting home to get some sleep. I get home say hello to the wife, take a shower and I pass out in the bed. I slept so good that I didn't remember any of my dreams. You know that good kinda sleep. That type of sleep where you wake up and didn't realize you had slept for hours and hours. No disturbance in the force at all. When you finally wake up you feel so refreshed and ready to tackle the day's challenges.
GONE ARE THESE DAYS! Well as of rightnow anyways. Ever since Hudson came into the world I haven't had one of those good kinda sleeps. All I can do now is day dream about those good sleeps.
I have to say that my wife has it worse than I do. Hudson sleeps on her side of the bed in his Rock N Play and she hears every little sound and movement that he makes. She hears things that I just don't hear. She wakes up before his feedings which are 12a-2a-4a-6a. And I usually wake up when the little dude is crying like crazy because that's his only way to communicate to us that he is hungry and needs his diaper changed. It's tough to get up,get the screaming kid, change his diaper and then feed him. Then getting him back to sleep so that we can go back to sleep. The hours in between each nightly feeding seems like 10 minutes instead of 90 minutes. (It usually takes us about 30 minutes to change,feed and put him back to sleep..On the good night. Lol)
There have been nights and early mornings when Hudson decides he wants to shake things up and not go to sleep. Instead he wants to stay up laughing and talking us (baby talk) to death. On these nights my wife and I just stare at each other and shake our heads because we know what's in store for us.
That's what our three months with Hudson have been like. We CAN NOT wait for the day when Hudson sleeps through the night. I know my wife looks forward to that day, but I know she will still wake up with every noise he makes. Me on the other hand, I hope to get that sleep I use to get, the kind I've been day dreaming about.
I know everyone told us that sleep would never be the same when Hudson got here. I just never imagined it'd be this tough. I use to love sunsets and nighttime. Now I wanna run and hide in a closet for the whole night. Hudson I want you to know that payback is coming your way my son. When you reach those teenage years where you wanna sleep all the time, your mother and I will wake your ass up to do stupid things. Payback will be a MOTHA!
I guess I'll have to end this post here Hudson has risen. 😭😭😭😭😭
