I Swear I am Starting to Feel Cursed
If only bedtime were around 4 to 6 pm, I'd be fine, but Jeff doesn't even get home until about 6 or 7, and then we have dinner, bedtime rituals, and a little together time. And now Jeff and Parker are sleeping, and I'm wide awake. This is entirley pregnancy related, because since I became pregnant it was all I could do to stay awake except for the past week. The 24 hour nausea is gone (of course the actual morning sickness isn't), but now I can't fall asleep!!
Parker is the sweetest thing waking me up in the morning. I, of course, am exhausted from tossing and turning to fall asleep, and he's ready to get the day started!! He has taken to crawling up on my bed (Have I mentioned that he now goes to sleep in his own bed in his own room? Whoever said cosleepers are a hard habit to break doesn't know Parker.), rubbing my back and arms, then kissing my forehead and saying sweetly and pretty quietly, "Wake up, Mama!" Oh, how could you NOT get up to that?
Luckily, he's back to taking naps (he'd given them up completely not that long ago), so I get a good one in there too. Of course I didn't get one today, as we had guests over, but I'm still sitting here awake. Know any good, boring books to make me fall asleep? That always worked in college.
