Will I ever sleep again??

So little Mr. Hudson Hawk (that's my son) has not been sleeping at all lately. I'm not sure what has him waking up every hour (if i'm lucky 2 hours) all night long. It could be his teeth, his insistence on being held all the time or his need to be the centre of attention. All I know is that I'm exhausted and I wish I was 10 years younger.

I feel like my body, mind and my sanity would've been able to cope with parenting stresses much better in my 20s. I used to think people were nuts when they were married and starting families in their late teens/early 20s.

I was a very self-involoved person and then I became very career oriented. I had goals to finish school (all 7 years of college & university), party with my friends, travel and of course find a well paying job to support myself and my future family.

I met my husband toward the end of my quest "to find myself", fell in love, moved to Collingwood and we started our family. And now, although I love my life and it seems to be going pretty much the way I want, I'm exhausted and I don't feel like I am enjoying it like I am suppose to. I love being a mother and I would love to have a whole bunch of kids, but as I get older it seems like its going to get infinately harder.

Now I look back at my mom, grandmothers and friends who started their families earlier in their lives and I envy them, and the amount of sleep they are getting!!
