That would be the question. LOL I’m in a good mood this morning, so I am thinking the emotional roller coaster I have been on is actually exhaustion.lly
First off, whoever gives out that stupid advice to sleep when the baby sleeps – yeah, they didn’t have 3 other kids. Actually, I could trust Jordan to be good for awhile while I slept. It’s the 4 year old and the 2 year old I can’t take my eyes off of. Those 2 are kind of naughty.
Pato is back to work. He didn’t work from Monday when we had Christiano until Saturday. And he’s working his 10 – whenever the restaurant closes shifts, 6 days a week. Which means I’m on my own from 9:30 AM until 11 or 12 PM. No napping here now. I don’t get him up in the middle of the night because he’s been getting up at 6:30 aned taking the kids to school for me. Plus, he has to work all day. But, Mr Christiano, like most newborns, is not a fan of sleeping at night. His schedule the last couple of nights has been, go to sleep at about 8 for 2 hours of so, by the time I have the other 3 asleep and am finally ready to lay down myself, he is up. Then he is up with little naps here and there until midnight or 1 AM. Then he’ll sleep until 3. Then he’s up at about 4:30. I get another hour of sleep, he’ll get up at 5:30, then he’ll go to sleep about 6:30, when the alarm goes off for Pato to get up with the oldest 2, and I can’t get back to sleep.
Then I spend my day in tears. Everything making me cry. I really do think it’s just because I’m so tired. Christiano did lay on my bed for about 10 minutes last night while I fell asleep talking to him. He let me get that much needed 10 minutes of sleep before he started crying for someone to pay attention to him. LOL I also have very little patience with the other 3 before they start making me cry. Took them 1 1/2 hours to clean the hamster cage last night. That broke me down in tears.
Kat got up this morning and the first thing she said was, mom, remember when you were crying last night? Are you better today? So sad.
I think I need someone needs to install some Ferrari parts into my body so I can go fast. (Like how I worked that in. LOL)
For real though, I’ll be better when Christiano is able to go a little longer between feedings. Then I can sleep more.
There are some more pictures on my mom’s blog. I have some more from her to put up, but I’m on my laptop right now and don’t want to turn on the desktop to resize them right this second. LOL I’ll do that later. Ignore the bad pictures of me on her blog. The whole point is the pictures of the kids. LOL
Have a wonderful day!

[...] March, hmmm, what happened in March? Well, we switched to compact fluorescent light bulbs. Yep, that made the old blog. Pato was forgetful and Jordan almost broke his toe in too small soccer cleats. Bet that won’t happen this year. And I asked the question every new mom asks – baby blues or exhaustion. [...]
