Hello Everyone!!! I have been missing in action for the past month and trust me I have all the good reasons. I gave birth to our third daughter, Sohni, in August and since then life at home has been in chaos mode. I didn't realize how hard the transition would be going from 2 to 3 kids. Its amazing how soon we forget all that we go through with a new born in the house.
- Sleepless nights!
- Colic baby
- Breast feeding blues
- Supplementing/pumping
- Lack of time for a nice warm shower
- Being able to eat a warm plate of food
- Unexplainable crying
- Rushing to diffuse baby cries so the siblings don't wake up in the middle of the night
Lately I have been feeling like a zombie. Sohni wakes up every 2 hours and sometimes it takes her 4 more hours to go back to sleep. Finally when she falls asleep at 5am, I get to sleep for 2 hours before my middle child wakes up and starts her day.
The best part of being a mom to a third child is knowing that this time will pass. Its 2am right now and Sohni has been up since midnight. I have burped her 6 times already since she is so gassy and walked around with her twice. No matter how difficult this stage is, I realize that I need to cherish this time with my baby as they grow up so so fast.
Hang in there mom, and congratulations :)
