Update on hard mommy life
December is here. Where are the December blog posts?
The question is, where to find energy for them?
There are a lot of new, exciting things (and no pictures..), like - Adelaide's 2 new teeth are really sharp; she is moving super fast, exploring the room on her own (like starting to find the wires around the house, emptying the shelf of empty glass jars.. We really need to do some baby-proofing!); she has started to roll over again, and seriously - it has become hard to put a new diaper on her, because she just rolls over and is ready to go!
Same time, she has been a bit more.. (I'm thinking how to say it correctly, because I don't like referring to children in this age and still for long time as "clingy", "needy" and "whiny", because - as a definition - they cannot be that, or if they are, it's perfectly normal and that's why should be also refereed to with respect and respectful words.) So lets say - she needs me more lately again, she gets tired more easily, needs more sleep during the day, is more emotional and shows her emotions more loudly and definitely.
She sleeps perfectly in the stroller, but nowhere much else. At night we are doing breastsleeping all night through, which would be fine, if I could just find a comfortable enough position..
I don't know, if it still is from our last weekend's trip, but I don't seem to have gotten my energy back. (Husband being away in singing practises and concerts constantly until 23:00 is not helping, especially as it's impossible to put her to sleep earlier than 23:00. We should probably do something about that.. But what?)
One experienced mother also told me about a 6-month-crisis, which occurs around this time for the mother, because all the energy reserves finally are spent, disturbed sleep at night is starting to catch up, baby is not becoming less, but more demanding, and it's hard to catch a break.
Oh well, how fun. But sounds believable.
Something should be done, maybe a long bath (hopefully not listening to baby crying in the next room) would be a good start.
To not sound so whiny myself.. These actually are fun times. :) And there will be pictures soon too.
