Sleep.
Something you never realize is SO important, until you can't just do it whenever you want, for however long you want.
We did some hard time early on as it relates to extreme sleep deprivation but have since had a nice change of events (for now) where Matilda is a good little sleeper at night.
Here is where I am very confused...I am going to bed earlier than I used to and getting up later than I used to, but am still WAY MORE TIRED. How is this possible.
Pre-Matilda, I would stay up until 11/11:30 and get my butt out of bed to work out at about 5:45. Why is it that I am getting more zzz's, but feel like I could fall asleep in the middle of the day every day?
Nate's theory is that our subconscious is not letting us sleep as deeply because we are always just a little bit...listening for Matilda. My theory is that we are still just building back up from the first 4 months..
In the meantime, Nate and I continue to try to go to bed earlier and earlier. Eventually, we may just be going to bed with Matilda at 6:15....

Age, Gert, Age...Now you see why old dad is sacked in by 7:00....Actually, I think it is the time of the year...once the days get longer, energy levels go up...just a theory...
and it is GREAT Munchie sleeps so well!!!!
Another thought...all the planning and worrying and parenting takes lots of energy. Recharge the battery whenever you can! Love, Mom
Get yourself some sleep apnea, then we can talk...
stay awake - there will be time to sleep when you are dead.
