Sleepless Mom

A blog for moms

July 16, 2017

Who’s this kid and what happened to my sweet little baby?

I guess I must have missed the chapters on how fast babies change! Everyone told me to soak in the newborn stage because once they are mobile, you’re in for it. My little Audrey went from a peaceful little blob to a maniac overnight!

Who's this baby? When the newborn stage ends, it can feel like your once quiet baby has been replaced by someone you don't know.

Who’s this kid and what happened to my sweet little baby?

No one could have prepared me for how quickly babies change. Sure, I knew when babies became mobile they would get into things, but everything? Just this morning, my daughter took her diaper off and pooped on the floor.

This is not what motherhood looks like on Instagram. We’re suppose to wear matching outfits and have picture perfect days (kidding) (sort of).

These are real WTF moments. At first I thought maybe it was teething or a growth spurt, but I must face the facts that my sweet little baby is growing up.

I never fully understood why everyone says “it goes like that” until now. One day you’re listening to baby babble and the next you’re running for cover from a blow out. As much as she scares me, I absolutely love seeing her personality. I’d like to think I’m growing with my child instead of being held hostage. 🙂

About Jessica

Jessica Sleepless Mom Welcome sleepless moms! I haven’t had a full nights rest in over 2 years. Why, you ask? Because like you, juggling a toddler and a baby, working, and finding time for myself has left me sleepless, yet full of joy.

The inspiration for my blog came from tirelessly searching online for the answers new moms have, just to find out there is no right answer. My hope and vision is to create a community for moms to comment and share real life stories with one another when Google just isn’t cutting it. Whether you have specific questions or just want to comment and relate, this is your space to ask your fellow moms advice and know you’re not the only one that screws up from time to time.

I have assembled a well-rounded team that’s here to share their struggles and successes with you, as well as offer support in any way possible. This is an interactive site and we are here to cater to your mom needs. Please feel free to contact our team members with new topics you want us to tackle or even simple questions about motherhood. That’s what we are here for….
