I haven't slept in since...maybe early on in my pregnancy with D-nut. I haven't felt at too much of a loss though. It's sweet to wake up to the sound of a baby, especially when he wakes up in a good mood. There are some mornings when he wakes up in our bed and just gets up and walks around. Talk about morning person. But, there are some mornings when I want to beg him for a few more winks, just some more time for some shut-eye, especially when it's the weekend and I can usually manage to get in a few more minutes than what I get during the week.
Then, this morning, Labour Day, Mr.S went off to work (he works most holidays and gets a a lieu day) while me and D-nut stayed in bed. He woke up every so often looking for some water and went back to sleep.
By the time I decided to actually open my eyes, it was 9:45AM!!!!! And, D-nut was STILL asleep! Having not felt especially well this whole weekend, I actually found myself shocked that I had enough energy to get out of bed and get a head start before the big guy could start my day for me. I went to go wash up and expected him to be awake by the time I got out of the bathroom. So I carefully opened the door and...he was still asleep! So I thought I'd check my email and fill in the communication gaps I had created after a weekend of feeling like crap.
Just as I was finishing checking my email, I heard, "Momma?"
And there was our guy, lying on the bed, upside down, with his head up, looking at me like, "Whatcha up to, Ma?"
He slept in AND he was woke up in a good mood.
Happy Labour Day!
