She's only occasionally napping longer than 30 minutes and won't go to bed until between 9:30 and 10:30 (and lately it's been 10:30). Once she's down for the night, I still have stuff to do to get ready for the morning as well as getting a bit done for my class so I'm not in bed for another hour usually. Then she's nursing off and on from 4 or 5 until she gets up, so I'll not sleeping great during that time. Yesterday and today, she seems extra fussy and is even having a few spurts of hysterical crying so it's been extra rough. She doesn't seem sick and doesn't have a fever or anything. Being tired and frustrated is really starting to wear me down and I've had a couple crying spells myself.
I'm not getting anywhere near as much done for my class as I want to, and I need to get it done so D can not have to work quite as much. I'm feeling resentful that I'm not getting it done and that when she freaks out when we are out, I have to leave and D can stay. I feel lonely. It's really frustrating because I don't know what to do.

That sounds awful! Sounds like daddy needs to stay home for the next couple of weeks! ;)
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry. That is so hard.
ReplyDeletei'm sorry, it sounds like you're going through a super busy schedule with all you have on your plate. I hope you and D can work together to find something a little more managable for both of you. and i hope she gets back to sleeping more regularly, that would probably be a good start.
