I feel defeated today

I am so tired today!! My DD did not sleep well last night and when she did it was while she was with me. I can not rest well when sitting up in the bed no matter how I have the pillows arranged. The best sleep I had was the hour and a half I slept in my son's room to get him to go to sleep. DS went to daycare with DH and that was a disaster in itself since he was crying and screaming because he wanted mommy. Yeah I will be 6wks pp tomorrow and that was not good for a hormonal mommy. DD has slept on and off today, but nothing great so I have not napped either. I am half frustrated, but it is so hard to be mad at my cute daughter. My DH is great, but there is not a lot he can do when it comes to feeding her since I only bf and it seems silly to give her a bottle since I will have to pump anyway because I produce like a cow. I am half sad because I have no control what so ever and it is driving me nuts!!!

    ook, I feel you on this one. Some days -- some weeks -- are worse than others.

    vent away. Here's hoping the rest of the week gets better for you!

    I don't have any advice, but know how you feel on all accounts (except for having another child, too--one is about all I can handle).  It is so hard to have no idea what your night will be like and to be sooo tired!

     We'll get through it, right?

    I remember those times so well.  For the record, I don't think it's pointless to pump and have her take a bottle with DH.  Yeah, you have to spend some time pumping so you don't get engorged, but it might be worth it to be able to get some sleep and know you won't be woken up again in an hour.  Getting even a little sleep really helps with my perspective!
