How to Know You're Tired

1. Yesterday I couldn't remember the baby's name for a moment. It wasn't like I was accidentally calling him by my husband's or other child's name; I just drew a blank. The name Noah was coming to mind, but I knew that wasn't right. It probably took me two, maybe even three seconds to come up with "Liam" as I was literally asking myself, "What is his name?" That's actually a long time if you think about it (Mississippi one, Mississippi two...)!

2. Sometime during the first week after the baby was born, I was on my couch feeding him in the middle of the night, when I was startled to see a bat on my ceiling! Wait, that's the fire sprinkler. But apparently he brought his friend, because I saw another bat on the kitchen ceiling just 30 minutes later!

3. This happened to Jeremy when child #1 was a baby. He was up to feed him in the middle of the night. He had a bottle in one hand and a screaming baby in the other, but just could not figure out what he was supposed to do next. He cannot even remember how he finally got that bottle into the baby's mouth, though he thinks it may have been my Mother grabbing his hands and showing him what to do. Wow.
