One of the biggest challenges of having a newborn is lack of sleep. Now that Samuel is 6 weeks old and sleeping a little better, I can see the more humorous side of sleep deprivation.
You know when you are sleep deprived when:
1) You walk into a room and wonder what in the world you went there for, and the only thing you can remember is that you have already done the same thing 3 times that day.
2) You nearly burn the house down by turning on the wrong burner...more than once in a given day.
3) You fall asleep in mid sentence while praying.
4) You move to an uncomfortable chair under a bright light and still fall asleep in mid sentence while praying.
5) You decide to stand up to avoid falling asleep while praying, and still fall asleep while standing.
6) When your newborn is crying and you are wondering why until you realize that it is 8am and you haven't changed his diaper since 10pm the evening before (please don't turn me into child services - it only happened once!)
7) You fall asleep while waiting for a cavity to be filled.
8) You try to put a size newborn diaper on your two year old.
Oh Jamie, you crack me up and glad you can look at all those moments and laugh. I think all moms have been there and done that. :-) We could all write a book or something, Make sure you write those down in Samuel's baby book. :-)
