Don't get me wrong ... I LOVE spending time with my boys, and I'm enjoying spending the eight weeks that I get from work with Gavin. But, I have to admit ... I LIVE for these moments! It allows me to get some needed relaxation (on days that I am a little stressed or even tired), or to get some house work done! These moments may only last 20 minutes ... but they are a precious 20 minutes!
Todd and I have come up with a new plan for those "middle of the night" feedings, and I really do like it! I went to bed last night at 8:00! Yes .... 8:00. The deal is this: I go to bed when Grant goes to bed, and Todd stays up as late as he wants, but between the hours of 8:00 pm and 1:00 am, Todd is responsible for all of those feedings. Then from 1:00 am and on ... I am responsible for the feedings. Well, I got up at 5:30! Yes!! I ended up with a FULL NIGHT of rest! I couldn't believe it! Even though it is taking my body a little time to figure out what on earth it's going to do with all that sleep, I really enjoyed it! Todd has decided that he is going to just sleep on the couch and keep Gavin downstairs with him (in his cradle) until he goes to bed so that the monitor doesn't bother me ... and you know, that really worked out nice! I didn't hear a thing!
I think I'm going to like this new plan ....
