Sleeping only a few hours at a time does lead to wierd dreams eeeeeeeek I remember that all to well when we had to wake up every two hours to feed Kelcee....she was a preimee so we had to wake her every two hours and when I would sleep I would be so exhausted I would always dream of Frankenstien chasing me...LOL my hubs would be like Summer Frankenstien is not scary and I would be like well come in my dream he is there hahahha
