I finally did it

I haven’t gotten a good nights sleep in so long. I’m exhausted. Tonight my toddler woke up from a bad dream. My husband got up, walked over to my side, looked at the monitor, and laid back down. That’s right, he went back to sleep. I’m a SAHM so I always get up. But he got out of bed to see that she was awake. I’m averaging 4 hours a night and I’m 19 weeks pregnant. Lack of sleep is doing something to me right now.

So I got up and got my daughter calmed. Then after 30 minutes I tried to put her back down and she threw a fit as she always does. She thinks once she’s up, no matter the time, it’s time to play. So I put her back to bed even with a protest. Went back to our room, gathered up my pillow and blanket. Then went into our guest room. My husband goes in there whenever he needs more quiet and gets a full nights sleep.

My husband came in and asked what I was doing. I told him “I am exhausted. I need sleep. So I’m coming the magical room where people get to sleep. I’m pregnant and I can’t keep doing this.” He told me “I can sleep in here. If she wakes up I can get her.”

She woke up and he didn’t get her. He went back to sleep. So that’s just an empty promise. I’ve been talking to him about needing to rest and how it’s messing with me. So I’ve been communicating with him but he just hasn’t been listening.

Here’s to getting some sleep! It’s on a futon but it will be sleep! 🙏🏻
