My lo is nearly 8 months old and I must admit I'm shattered. I think I'm just having a bad day today - but I'm so tired, my body aches all over. I haven't had a nights sleep since my lo was born. I'm still BF and she now only wakes once at approx 3am - 4am - but is not very good at gettig back to sleep after that....
I honestly don't know how people with more than one child does it. How do you????? I don't think I'm a wimp - before I had a baby I had a really demanding job and renovated property in my spare time, I was just go, go, go.. I was also training for a marathon pre-pregnancy. I was always mellow... All that seems a breeze now !
My back aches, my shoulders ache, I've a headache and I'm having trouble keeping my eyes open.....! I'm not depressed - I'm just finding it SUCH hard work. Just managing to get the washing and cooking done whilst looking after my lo. How do you yummy mummies manage getting your make-up and hair done???????? God knows where my make-up bag is these days.....
I know I've had problems with my lo sleeping since birth. Up until last month she was waking every 2 hours at night and naps barely last 30 mins each time.
So - please tell me of your stories that things do get easier!!! Or any top tips to make things easier!
