I'm still kind of hormonal from delivery. I'm 6 weeks pp as of Thursday...during the day I'm usually fine but at night sometimes I get really emotional. My dh goes to bed around 11:30 (has to work during the day) and dd doesn't want to go to sleep til like 1-1:30a.m. so I have to try to get her to sleep. Then she wakes up at 3. I know it's normal for her as a newborn to wake up every 2-3 hours but she fights going back to sleep. Like she wants her pacifier but then she'll spit it out and cry til I put it back in. Or she'll get herself really worked up and just shake her head around the paci like she's looking for it even though it's in her mouth. Anyway, sometimes I'll just cry because I know all of her needs are taken care of and I'm just really tired. Last night just thinking that it'll probably weeks or months til I can sleep longer than 3-4 hours in a row made me cry unconsollably. Just needed to vent. Phew.

Aw I know what you are going through. It will get better eventually. Hang in there. Is there someone you could get to look after her for a few hours so you could take a nap once in a while in the daytime? I know personally I can't sleep in the daytime much. My ds is 12 weeks and he can sleep 4-5 hours at a time at night but not much more than that. I am looking forward to when he starts sleeping through the night. Even 6-7 hours at a time.

Renee I totally feel your pain. My daughter only sleeps for about 2-3 hours at a time then she wants to be awake for about 2 1/2 hours before she goes back to sleep. I get SO worn out sometimes, especially when you know that you've done everything you can for them. Like Mandee said, try to find someone to take her every once in awhile so you can get a break too.
