Girls, I’m laying down over here and can’t stop crying. Day 4 of little man just playing in his bed and not napping. We have always been so consistent with his sleep routine, and he has napped so well and consistently this past year, I really thought he was going to make it until I had baby! 😢 but clearly he’s ready to give it up. He bounces up at the end of his quiet time ready to literally run circles around me the rest of the day.

Being able to lay down and rest/catnap for an hour every afternoon has apparently been a major factor in my ability to be good mommy to my little boy throughout this pregnancy. I have been so snappy and impatient with him this week and I can barely handle 30 minutes of outside play before I’m begging him to come back inside with me.

It just seems that much harder now and it was already hard enough getting thru this pregnancy with a super active child and son pretty debilitating hip pain I’ve had since November.

Lend me some support or sympathy please. When I told to my husband how I feel, he just didn’t get it, he thinks I have it easy as a stay at home mom and sees me reaction to this as whining. I’d rather be at a 9-5, 5 days a week desk job and sitting thru meetings like him. It’d be easier on my body than being a stay at home mom on a 13 hour shift with zero weekend breaks, for sure.
