Sleep Disruption.
I don’t do well with little sleep. My brain starts to shut systems down, and I become little more than a Zombie.
I am finding that even if my sleep cycle is disrupted for a half-hour during the night, that it has the same effect as if I missed half the nights sleep. Last night Scarlette woke up about 2am, and even though we were only up for twenty minutes or so, I feel this morning as though I haven’t slept at all.
When I first woke up, Ami asked me to hand her the Pacifier on the nightstand. She might as well have been speaking French for all the sense that it made to me. I looked at her in a complete daze, and wondered what she just said. I had to mull it over, to figure out what she had meant.
When you are that tired, even your native language doesn’t make sense.

Having kids is hard in this respect, she may need you if she gets seriously sick sometime in the night. But it does get better!
