Last night my husband fed the baby around 7:30 pm. The baby was happy and smiling at us after his belly was full. It was a normal evening. A little later I bathed the baby and put him in his crib like usual. He was still awake when I put him in his crib. He spent a good 15 minutes mesmerized with his animal mobile and the music it plays. And of course, a pacifier in his mouth. Then slowly but surely, he fell asleep. This is about the only ME time I get. The time when I can take a shower, or do anything just for me.
I ended up going to sleep around 10:30 pm knowing in the back of my mind that I would be awaken around 1:00 or 2:00 am for a feeding. I woke up around midnight to check on him. He was sleeping. So I went back to sleep. Then before I knew it, 5:00 am came. Wow! I got to sleep. To me, if I sleep more than three hours in a row, I consider myself lucky. He woke up hungry and I felt so happy to feed him because I had some sleep. I hope tonight it's the same for us. I haven't had a normal sleep night in months.
