The adrenaline is starting to wear off and I'm officially succumbing to the sleep deprivation that comes with being a new mom. Before the babies arrived, I was worried that I would become snippy and unpleasant. And while I have my moments, I think I'm still generally holding up okay. We even get a few laughs out of it.For the night feedings my mom and Aaron trade off being my second set of hands. The last several nights they have had to work pretty hard to wake me up to feed the girls. Before I'm officially awake, I've been saying some pretty random things. Like asking Aaron to please go get Aaron, asking if he thinks Penny and Lily could swing by sometime, insisting that my mom bring me a washcloth but when it arrives (and I am more awake) having no idea why I asked for it.
And yesterday I had my first daytime complete brain fart. I put two nursing pads on the right side, but none on the left. The lactation specialist, Aaron, and I got a good laugh out of it at my appointment.
Time to put more focus on getting some additional zzzzzz's.

I can only imagine the sleep deprivation with twins...one is bad enough. Love you guys and keep up the good work. We are still sleep deprived at our house with Evie...we will be thinking of you during the nights. :)
