Sleep Already!!!

According to my mom, when I was a baby I liked to stay up late. I would stay up with the rest of the family until they went to bed around 10pm. I think Delyn is going to be like me. However, I would sleep until 10am, and he absolutely does not.

Last night and tonight it has been sheer murder trying to get him to go to bed at night. As soon as I pick him up he stops crying and almost immediately falls asleep. If I put him down, he wakes up in less than five minutes and pitches a fit. It totally sucks because I just don't know what's wrong with him. He didn't go to sleep until midnight last night, and then was up bright and early at 4am, 6am, and 9am. It's so hard to be standing at his crib, holding his pacifier in his mouth, and waiting for him to fall asleep when your eyes keep rolling back in your head because you are so sleepy.


Anyways...Since I've become a new mom, there are a couple of things that I've noticed:

• I am always covered in spit-up. Always.
• I don't seem to mind going out in public covered in the above mentioned spit-up, since I realized in the check-out line at Food Town that I hadn't changed my shirt before leaving.
• I now know more about baby poop than I ever thought I would, and I don't mind talking about it with anyone who will listen or have something to contribute. Baby poop comes in a myriad of colors and smells, and if you don't know that then it will scare the hell out of you the first time your baby poops green stuff.
• Doing laundry is now an every day event.
• There is nothing that smells better than my baby after he's had a bath.
• I always imagine worst case scenario. For instance, right now Delyn is sleeping on a pallet on the floor in front of the TV, and even though that TV is securely in it's cubby, I worry that it will fall over on top of him.
• I'm completely turning into my mother.
