I'm hoping you are continually sleep deprived. That would mean you are frequently sleep deprived, but that there are times when you are not (like "continual complaints about the dog"). Continuously would mean it goes on and on without interruption, ever. Like a continuous humming in your ear or something.
So—and I never thought I would say this to a new mother—I am glad to hear you are continually sleep deprived. Because at least you aren't sometimes.

Wait. You said "continuously."
That is awful.
I think about that one all the time. And never tell people because they won't care.
This is why babies are cute, otherwise the would never make it past infancy because their delirious parents would harm them or lose them.
I love this! This is one of those distinctions I learned as a senior in high school that I've never forgotten. That and anxious vs. eager.
Sorry about the sleep, yo.
