[M] I love sleep. But as the old adage goes - you never know how much you love something (or someone) until you lose it. And now I know just how much I love sleep. A lot of interesting things have happened to us sleep wise since G entered our world. Here are some snippets:
- Babies can sleep at anytime, anywhere. By association, parents of newborns learn to sleep anytime, anywhere.
- On one of the first nights we had G home, she was sleeping in her crib at the foot of our bed. I went to sleep in our bed, but I fell asleep on my arm and it fell asleep too. Then when G woke up crying, I went to her crib side and consoled her. After she went back to sleep, for some reason, I had this strange desire to sleep on the floor right by her crib. I guess walking the 3 feet back to my bed was too far.
So I decide to sleep right there on the floor. And as I began to go down, I put my weight on the arm that had completely fallen asleep and I just crumbled right into the ground. I landed face first; glasses first. It probably should have hurt, but I just fell asleep right there on the ground.
- G fell asleep in a rocker with some lullaby music playing from S's iTunes. I left the room for a minute and when I came back, the lullaby CD ended and it was playing Biz Markie - "But you say he's just a friend, Ohh baby, you, you got what I need. But you say he's just a friend." Sometimes I get nervous about my parenting skills.
- All-nighters. When I finished college, I promised myself I would never do an all-nighter again. But several years later came grad school. But when I finished grad school, I promised myself that I would never again, under any circumstance pull an all-nighter. Usually, with those all-nighters I would hope to not get an 'F'. And this time around I didn't. I got a 'G'. And she was worth it. That last line was super corny...but I'll blame that on my lack of sleep.
Aww!! Hope you guys catch up on your sleep!!
