Woot, another month down. Kaitlyn’s 2 months old today. :D The second month is a loth harder than the first month. She has bad gas pains and refuses to sleep on her own these days as she would sleep for a little bit then wake up screaming in pain and kicking her legs like mad. We’ve tried almost every colic stuff out there, infacol, gripe water, Infant’s Friend, Fennel tea, peppermint tea etc. Nothing so far has worked for more than once. Here’s hoping her gas pain gets better after 3 months.
Kaitlyn went to my parents for 6 hours yesterday while I tried to catch up on some sleep. I didn’t sleep for more than an hour at a time still. I guess my sleep cycles had synchronised with Kaitlyn’s… Then it hit me… I will NOT sleep through the night for the next 20 years… By the time she gets over the gas pain, teething, wetting the bed, running into my bed from nightmares… I will be in bed awake waiting for her to come home from slumber parties, going out with friends, boyfriends… etc. /sighs Ah the reality of parenting. I shed a few tears when it was time to go pick up Kaitlyn from my parents’. I just didn’t realise how much I missed the “quiteness” in the house.
Don’t get me wrong, I love my baby, and for the most part I love being a mother. She’s getting a lot more interactive these days. I just missed “MY” time occassionally.
