Um I Think You Forgot My Dose Of Super Serum!

Posted on the 15 April 2013 by Susiemcbeth @susiemcbeth
I have written quite a few posts recently about the lack of sleep I have been getting due to my beautiful yet very wakeful twins. I personally blame the evil that is teething - but I have been told that it could also be down to some crazy phase that hits babies when they are 18 months old when sleep, including naps just goes out of the window.
Dear Michael York in Logan's Run, let this not be so! (I prefer to call on a more *tangible hero for help)
* Tangible in my eyes anyway, and the hero changes from day to day - I am in a sci fi Michael York mood today...
Well, I don't know about other mummys out there in the big world, trying to get by on a thimble full of sleep, and how they do it - especially, as in pretty much every magazine you pick up or see on tv, the mummys in them are fresh faced and raring to go. Seriously, how do they do it? But I seem to be doing it wrong.
I am def not fresh faced (not unless you count the particularly fetching shade of purple shadow under my eyes) and I am not exactly raring to go either (mentally maybe, but really I feel like a sluggish 1980's Amiga trying to load...).
So I have been thinking about why this is and I have decided that the only logical explanation that there can be, is that a mistake was made at the hospital.
In-between the time when my twins were handed to me and when I spent a fair bit of time working out how to put nappies on them (really not as simple as it first seems, especially when you have tiny twins and the nappies are almost the size of the baby - a cute but very messy time). Um... I am currently overwhelmed with memories of extreme cuteness and an overwhelming sense of relief that they fit properly into nappies now and the 'accidents' that they constantly had in the early days, are for the most part over!
So, yes, in between all that, I think a mistake was made. During all the normal bits and pieces of the hospital stay I think they must inject new mothers with a kind of super serum that allows you to cope with night after night of sleeplessness and because of how crazy and long and crazy (it deserves mentioning twice) my stay was in hospital - they forgot to give me my dose. This of course can be the *only reason for these other tv and magazine mummys being so fresh faced.
*that or photoshop... Hmmmmm
So, I know I am a bit late... But if someone would be willing to give me a dose of some mommy super serum I would be truly grateful. It would be one shot I would be happy to take!
...doctor???...anyone????...please?
