Entry for February 15, 2007 - Sleep when baby sleeps.
I now have a GREAT understanding of this advice - sleep when baby sleeps. I thought that I could keep up with things around the house while Hunter was fast asleep. That worked for about a week until today. I woke up this morning absolutely exhausted but figured I would feel better after some coffee. Wrong!!! As the day went on I only grew more and more tired. Finally around 3 after one of Hunter's feedings my husband and I decided to try and lay the baby down and for us to try and catch a quick nap. WOW - 4:30 rolled around and I woke up to a barking dog. The best thing was the baby slept right through the dog barking and is still sleeping!!! I never thought a nap could feel that good. I think from now on I will be listening a little more closely to what advice other parents have to give. So, sleep when baby sleeps is a great piece of advice and I will be catching at least a nap a day from now on.
