It's like the Pumpkin somehow knows that her dad and I are right on the edge of losing it... And she pulls us back by sleeping from 8 UNTIL 5! Yes, it was a beautiful night last night.
The morning was still rough for her and me because we didn't really go back to sleep until 5:50. My alarm goes off at 6:00. So basically we were up since 5. And that almost hour when we lay in bed with me trying to nurse her back to sleep? She fidgeted the whole time, scratching me, pulling at my PJ pants, plucking at my PJ top, scratching the wall behind her, kicking me, grabbing at my hand, waving her arm around, and you get the picture. Fidgeting in general drives me crazy. It's especially frustrating when the baby fidgets for almost an hour when all I want to do is go back to sleep.
The 7 hours of sleep I got were great, but the morning was not so great with her fussing because she was still tired and my grouchiness because of the Fidget Hour. But I've dropped the Pumpkin off at my mom's, I've had my coffee, and I'm ready to get some work done (after I post this, of course)!
Besides, one of my favorite authors posted a comment in the Question of the Week post. That really brightens my day!
In other news, my hubby (let's call him Londo--and I'll be really impressed if anyone gets this reference before he explains it) has agreed to throw in the occasional post to share the daddy perspective. I'm excited to read what he has to say!

Oh man, gotta love those mornings. Luckily Boog has started sleeping at least until 6 pretty reliably (sometimes 7 even!) and when he doesn't we generally ignore him. Sounds terrible but he always goes back to sleep. :)
The fidget hour bites.
Ours usually comes between 3 and 4 am, when I am too lazy to put AM back in his bed, but O!M!G! does he need to be in his own space!!!! Because it drives me wild, the restlessness!
Oddly enough when he comes in later (5 or 6) and then goes back to sleep it's very deep--reminds me of nap sleep. No fidgeting.
