Mommy Vent

Soo, some days I feel like I am going crazy! Tonight is one of those nights. Ugh, Noah has been acting up all day long and Riley has been way more difficult than normal. Noah has literally done the opposite of everything I have said today. He is doing things just to tick me off, I am sure of it. And I know he is just wanting attention.. but man, it gets on my nerves. He just tests every limit possible. And Riley, bless his one month old soul, has just been crazy fussy today, especially this evening. Oh, and he had a ridiculous diaper, I am talking poop clear up to his hair.. it went through shorts, a onesie, and a blanket. Gross. We both had to have a bath. I have never seen anything like it, it was like WWIII! Since about 6:00 pm he has pretty much just cried the whole time. I finally got them both to sleep. Just barely, it's 9:32. Soo, I know I am just grumpy from lack of sleep, but I hate today! I hate how short tempered I have been all day. Well, all week I have been cranky. Riley sleeps fine, I mean he is up every 2 hours, like every newborn... but it's getting to me! I know it will pass and soon he will be sleeping longer periods. Today, Noah woke up at 6:30 am ready for the day! Ugh.... we just got off on the wrong foot today! Anyways, the transition to having two kids, a 2 1/2 year old and a newborn has been easier than I thought it would be and Noah is totally loving his new role as big brother.. but today and this week has really done me in. I need a nap. I am aware my complaints are falling on deaf ears to all the mommies out there who know what it's like, but man one month of maybe 6 hours of sleep in 1 1/2 to 2 hours segments at a time is killing this momma! This too shall pass! I need to keep reminding myself that life with a baby/toddler is always changing, just when I get used to their schedule and needs, they will decide they need something different! Ha. As soon as I get a "normal routine" down, it will change to something new! I have been telling Trev how I think having Riley increased my patience level by like 3 times... well today was not my finest. I reached my almost-breaking point several times. I am grateful both boys are asleep and they look so angelic! I  need sleep now too, 2 hours will come all too soon! But I needed to vent first!
