So sleepy...

So Mikayla's super sleeping streak came to an end. She's showing a lot of the same acid reflux signs as Juliet. So 2 days ago, I gave up milk and all milk-based foods, in an effort to help her feel better. She doesn't sleep very well, waking up often and squirming like she's in pain. :( She has another doctor appointment on Tuesday so I'm going to bring up getting her on some medication. The effect it's having on me is sleep deprivation. Mikayla is up every couple of hours day or night and I'm not dealing as well as I used to. When I had Juliet, I was 27. Now I'm 32 and I really feel like my body is not keeping up. Postpartum recovery is great, I'm just really tired. Luckily Merril has been around in the mornings to get the kids off to school so I can sleep in. Otherwise, I might be pretty grumpy. I usually sneak in a nap in the afternoons as well. So I'm just getting older.

Merril also made the comment that he forgot how much time I have to spend nursing at first. He calculated it out to 3 1/2 hours a day. That's a lot of time to be sitting on the couch. I've caught up on some tv. My Name is Earl comes on at 3 a.m. and I've enjoyed the reruns.
