Zombie Moms

Zombie: Robot, Android, Machine, Sleepwalker

Yep, I would say all of the descriptions above sound about right. I am a Zombie Mom.

My son (Theo) has decided that sleep is for the weak. Theo had been sleeping so well at night for over a month. I'm talking 9+ hours at a time (yes, I was spoiled) and for some reason, one day last week, he decided he no longer wanted to sleep through the night. For some reason when he was a tiny little man his late night (or early morning) feedings didn't really bother me...I knew it was temporary. I know this is temporary to (right?!?!) but it seems so much harder to deal with sleep regression. It's hard cause I know he can sleep through the night, but I have to believe this is happening for a reason (growth spurt?). Who knows.

No matter what, every day I am thankful for a happy (most of the time), healthy, thriving, little man. And just looking at him reminds me it's all worth it (even at 2 or 4am). :)

We all know that I can end a post without a couple pictures of my little man...so here you go. I can't believe he'll be 4 months next week!!! Ahhhh....how is that even possible?!
15 weeks. On a walk.

I love babies in jeans. Makes me smile.
Oh, and if you're a Mom of a little one and up late at night I suggest checking out #zombiemoms on Twitter. Makes the late night feedings less painful, knowing you're not alone out there!
