Sleep

Okay, so I know I got off easy. Don't throw anything at me. I have a baby who slept through the night really early with only a few hiccups. I am incredibly grateful for this. I know how lucky I am and it's one of the reasons I'm really scared to start trying for baby #2. I figure there's pretty much zero chance we'll be so lucky again.

However, I still think it's completely unfair that last night, Sprout woke up pretty much every hour. Started crying - just long enough to wake her mother out of a nice, sleep, get out of bed and go to the bathroom. Then she zonked back out, but I was wide awake. After the second time, I couldn't go back to sleep. Sprout was sleeping. I was awake. So unfair.

So I'm dragging today, but at least Sprout is in a good mood. She's playing with her books while I blog and sip a caffeinated beverage. We both napped a bit this morning, but not nearly enough.

And, lack of sleep is seriously bad for the diet. You want to eat more, you crave bad things, and your willpower diminishes. It's a recipe for disaster. Or in my case a trip to McDonald's. Oops. I haven't even wanted a burger in weeks, maybe months, but today I had to have one. And fries. Oh well. Let's hope for better sleep tonight so that I don't blow it completely before we even leave on our vacation!
