Nights up with baby can be a time of bitterness or a time of treasured moments. I think of how fleeting they were with my second. How I never got them with my first. I will relish the quiet feelings, soft baby coos and the delight at her eyes finding mine in the dim light.
At first when I was getting up every 3 hrs. it was tough. I am not someone who wakes easily. I was groggy and grumpy. Now she generally gets up once...early in the morning. I have tried every trick in the book and all the old wives tales from your second cousin's mother-in-law to get this baby to sleep through the night. I have given up trying to find the magic trick. There are times it is still hard but I try to remember it won't be forever.
I enjoy sleep and I'll enjoy full nights of it again someday. But this season where it's just time for her and I will not have for long.
