I've had an introduction to motherhood. Although I don't have kids of my own yet, I was given the opportunity last night to be a "surrogate mom" for a few hours for my sister (she got the flu). And I've made a few observations about motherhood.
#1 If you're given the chance to sleep... do it. You never know when you'll be up all night with a sick child (or sibling in this case).
#2 Regardless of how much sleep you got last night, if you only get 1 or 2 hours of sleep tonight, you will still be tired.
#3 I'm kinda grumpy when I'm tired. And somewhat less attractive.
For some reason, this doesn't change my thoughts about wanting to be a mom.

You really do mean "sleepless". ... But well worth it to help.
Yes, lots of sleepless nights to come. Someday it will be worth it but lots of times I just really want to sleep. Then when he smiles it makes it all worth it.
sorry i got sick.
I'm not worried about you getting sick. I just happened to post while you were sleeping, and I was thinking about how nice it would be to sleep too! :)
