The baby is usually really good at sleeping through the night, but as of late, he&#8217;s been waking up a couple times, and naps are getting shorter. The result? I&#8217;m tired. I hate being tired.

He averages four, sometimes five hours of sleep per night. I&#8217;ve learned to take up the slack. When baby needs someone at night, it&#8217;s me. When one of the other kids needs something&#8211;they come to me.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m hoping the baby gets back into the groove of sleeping soon. Pray that he does!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sleep has been a hot commodity these days.
