Saturday
Alexa and Andy are on a walk. Andy let me sleep in today, which was wonderful. Alexa woke me at about 3:30 am, and I lay awake after for hours. It is the worst feeling, because I know, *from experience*, when I finally do fall into a deep sleep, Alexa will wake me again. This is what strongly urges me to night wean, and why the thought of another child can scare me.
It feels so wonderful when I am rested. I can think clearly, move efficiently, make plans. Sleep deprivation alters every aspect of my life. Doing the dishes becomes a great accomplishment after a sleep interupted night.

I wake up every night between 1 and 3, and I'm awake for a few hours, at least. Every. Night. I relate to how completely being rested or not affects one's life. I am a horrible mother when I don't get enough sleep. Katie doesn't even nurse much during the night anymore; I think, after 2 years, my body is simply trained to wake up at that time. Plus I usually have to pee. :)

I'm glad that you're getting some rest today. Sleep deprivation can do some crazy things to us.
Mostly, I'm just commenting to say hi and to let you know I'm going to visit more often.

Michelle,
It will be great to see you more :)
During the last part of my pregnancy, I woke every night for several hours, too. As I could still nap, it didn't seem that hard. Now, when I lie awake, it is hard. I wish I could fall asleep easily after waking up. Andy and Alexa seem to have no problem in that area : )
Hey.. Rach.. :)
I share the same sentiments about sleep as you do.. :) I need my sleep really bad.. or i'll get really mad...!! and upset.. that i cannot perform with Chloe.. and i really wanna give her my best.. and i'm sure you know how i feel.. :) Cheerio..!
Lack of sleep can be the one biggest factor in my ability to function. I'm impressed that you run a business sleep deprived. My ability to do math, navigate forms, etc., goes way down. Thanks for visiting, Mrs. T. :)
