Tired.

I knew I would be tired. I was hoping I wouldn’t be as tired as I was with my first baby, but one never knows. And even though my son has been considerably easier to take care of than my daughter was, I don’t seem to be getting any more sleep.

The worst part is that my wife handles most of the night stuff since she is on maternity leave. But I still wake up, and I still have a hard time falling back to sleep. I know she is getting run down, which is actually keeping me awake more than the baby stuff. How’s that for ironic?

Regardless, I knew I would be tired. But even if you expect something, it doesn’t necessarily make it any easier to deal with. It’s a good thing my kids are so cute. Otherwise, I might be bitter about my exhaustion.
