I’m losing my mind. Because of social distancing, LO and I haven’t been anywhere and we aren’t allowing visitors. FOR OVER A MONTH. And he is so sweet and precious and amazing, but for EVERY nap and bedtime he screams and cries no matter what I do. I pace and bounce so much every day that my back is starting to kill me. And he sleeps 2 hour stretches at night and I’ve tried almost everything - my nested bean sleep sack should be arriving soon.

My husband is working from home, and at first I was glad, but he doesn’t help with naps and bedtime. He’s convinced baby only wants me; and while that may be true, if he would do it a few times baby would get used to him.

I find myself feeling resentful when I’m already (exhaustedly) fighting the baby down for his first nap and my husband is still sleeping peacefully. Tonight as I was trying to get him to sleep, DH was playing video games with his friends.

Don’t get me wrong - my husband loves us and is very active with our baby, just not the harder stuff. This isn’t a husband bashing story. I just need a break. I’m so tired and I just want my baby to sleep longer and take naps without fighting so hard.

Picture for cuteness ☺️
