The #1 question I am asked by people is if my baby sleeps through the night. (Noah doesn't yet, he usually gets up twice, on a good night, to feed). Once I say that he isn't, I am bombarded with suggestions on how to get him to do so. The thing is, I secretly don't want him to sleep through the night. I like getting up with him. I nurse him next to a night light and the way he looks in the middle of the night is so cute and perfect. Sometimes he'll stop nursing and just look at me, really peacefully, and it makes me cry a little. I'm tearing up just writing about it. Anyway, I'm not sleep-deprived enough to want to stop having this every night. Call me crazy.

You are SO not crazy!! Being with your baby at a time of night when no one else is, is so special. You can share yourself with Noah, the way you did in pregnancy. And only you can do that! I love those "I love you" eyes my kids have shared with me, and it sounds like you're enjoying those same feelings with Noah.
ReplyDeleteAnd.... breastfed babies typically don't sleep through the night! Waking up twice is awesome! He's not even 6 months yet! Totally normal for babies to wake up!
