Adanna’s love for dogs and kids is next level—I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve had to stop her from petting strangers’ dogs. On walks (without her stroller), she runs straight to any kid she sees for cuddles. Lol. Some might take it as a “sign” that she needs a sibling, but I’m staying on contraceptives until I decide otherwise—if I do.😜
As sweet as she is, sleep is not her thing. We’ve tried everything, but she’s too curious to miss out on life. Now, imagine being pregnant and dealing with that! Her dad and I take shifts, but let’s be honest—moms do more, especially when breastfeeding.
Speaking of which, Adanna completely rejected the bottle and only drinks breast milk (ditched bottles at 9 months, pacifiers at 3). So, you can imagine what my b***s have been through! 😂
We’re now weaning her (even though I planned to breastfeed till 2), and it’s been 16 days of struggle. I even rubbed aloe vera on myself to deter her—she’s still not sleeping through the night, but maybe she just needs more time.
I know someone who stopped at one kid because of sleep struggles, and I don’t blame them. My first trimester was rough—constant nausea and exhaustion. So, until we get Adanna’s sleep sorted… no, thanks!😃
Any advice on how to get her to sleep more would be appreciated ❤️
