My 17 month old twins just started sleeping through the night, and although I am rejoicing, I also miss the intimacy of nursing them alone at night (especially since during the day they always want to nurse together!).Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02422448051696444242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4839413630623850301.post-4536394511694594102009-03-18T13:50:00.000-04:002009-03-18T13:50:00.000-04:00I should add a strong caveat...that Incredibaby is...I should add a strong caveat...that Incredibaby is waking up only 1-2 times a night. This means that I usually have 6 uninterrupted hours of sleep early on. I was thinking about this b/c I was so surprised to hear my own response to being asked about Incredibaby's sleep and was thinking about why. It's just so peaceful. I just had to write it down to reread when this is NOT how I feel! <BR/><BR/>And I am still NOT a morning person when I have to get up for the day. Mr. Incredible avoids too much conversation with me until it is 10am and I've had 2 cups of coffee.texas mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10789317984697185260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4839413630623850301.post-12363976325069193732009-03-18T13:13:00.000-04:002009-03-18T13:13:00.000-04:00This is a nice sentiment, and it's one I'm going t...This is a nice sentiment, and it's one I'm going to try to think of in two months, when I am up with my third. With my second, I was just happy that I had some time to look at tv programs that I had dvr'd! I am also not a person who does well on so little sleep, but I'm going to try to appreciate the quiet time spent with my newborn once he or she is here.Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00585179358306590340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4839413630623850301.post-53338403958400195292009-03-18T12:48:00.000-04:002009-03-18T12:48:00.000-04:00Tex, beautifully said, I totally agree with you wi...Tex, beautifully said, I totally agree with you with respect to the 11pm feeding (since I haven't gone to bed yet at that time). I was just thinking last night about how much I enjoy Angelina's 11pm feeding, and how I have NO desire to drop it, whereas I was obsessed with dropping Bella's night feedings as quickly as possible. Both so I could have the option to sleep, and also so I could respond "yes" when people asked those sleeping through the night questions! I love nursing a baby right before going to bed myself, it really is a special uninterrupted time, the prolonged sweet goodnight that I didn't have the time to give her when I put her to bed in the evening as the other kids were running around wet and naked after baths.<BR/><BR/>But as for the 1am, 3am, and 6am feedings, no thanks : ) Falling back asleep is particularly difficult for me so those really take their toll. I have been sleeping 6-7 hour stretches lately, for the first time since Bean was born 2.5 years ago, and I finally remember what it's like to be happy!Juris Materhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01717212659724234395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4839413630623850301.post-70532980109892610832009-03-18T10:58:00.000-04:002009-03-18T10:58:00.000-04:00Good for you for finding reasons to be thankful fo...Good for you for finding reasons to be thankful for what you are doing, but I have to say that I never could manage my days when I didn't have good nights. <BR/><BR/>Related, though, I try not to mind some <I>minor</I> illnesses, because when they are sick even bigger kids want to snuggle with mom.Mary Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10817700792774657398noreply@blogger.com
