I reached an agreement with my partner. We would divide the night in two. Night shifts with the baby. And I would sleep in the spare bedroom for the first part of the night. Cause otherwise, if I am in the same room with our baby I wake up at the slightest movement or change in breathing.
At some point I was sleeping 4 hours a night (my partner´s shift with the baby) plus two hours a day, in two installments, when the baby slept. Good enough to go through the days. And most of the nights. Not good enough to have any quality of life. No ability to plan for the future. No way out.
About Me
- Miropi
- I have a baby-boy and a male partner. I have recently graduated as a body therapist. I used to be an academic. I wrote a novel. I speak a lot of languages (well, I understand more languages - 7, than I speak - 5)and I lived in four countries, which was unexpected, having grown up in a country that was internationally isolated and closed for foreigners (Romania in the 1980s)
