You know you're sleep deprived when...

you're nursing your son and notice a bandaid on your arm. You think to yourself, "I wonder where that came from?"

"Maybe Ant was playing with a bandaid in our bed and it got stuck to me?"

Only to realize about fifteen minutes later, "OH YEAH, I got the flu shot yesterday".

Particularly amusing when you are unable to sleep on that side because the arm is so tender.

Sleep

I just made an Excel macro to graph Timmy's sleep patterns (yes, I am a total nerd). Here are the results for his second month (so far).

sleep, sleep, glorious sleep

Last night I was so tired I was having trouble keeping my eyes open as I trawled the aisles of the grocery store. I had to go to pick up a couple of prescriptions - I'm still bleeding a bit at 7 weeks post partum, and when I went for my check up yesterday it was quite painful when the doc checked my ute, so she thinks I have a minor infection. Off topic, sorry.

When I got home, I told Mark that I was going to go to bed ASAP. So I pumped at 9:45 (which was already over 3 hours since Timmy last ate), and was in bed by 10:10. I didn't get woken up by the little mister wanting to feed until.... FIVE TWENTY EIGHT!!! 7.5 hours of solid, unbroken sleep. Pure heaven if you ask me. This is in contrast to the 5-6 hours of sleep in 2-3 blocks that I have been getting for the last 7 weeks. Mark had fed him a bottle at 12:15am, but still, that's a 6 hour stretch and a 5 hour stretch between feedings, which is fantastic!

I'm *not* expecting this to happen again any time soon, but boy does it make me feel more like a human being!
