One of the things I’ve struggled with most as a new mom is getting enough rest. I don’t see his naptimes as a time for me to rest, I see them as a time I can get something done. This has made for some overwhelming moments where I’m so tired I just cry. That’s not good for me or baby, especially in the night when he’s already restless - my stress certainly doesn’t make it easier for him to go to sleep.
I know everything is better when I’m more rested and I’m going to try harder to get at least a few extra (ha, extra) hours of sleep during the day. Though I definitely need to nap in a separate room from baby since he’s pretty darn sweet and I love to watch him sleep.
Wish me luck in this more rest endeavor. I’ve never been good at it, but it’s also never been more important than it is now when I need to be better rested so I can take better care of my family, myself, and also be more alert to take in all the goodness that is my life right now.
