T.G.F.C.

Thank God For Coffee. Last night was a rough one. Went to bed at 10ish. Talan woke up at 11:30 to eat. By the time I fed him and then calmed him down enough to fall asleep it was after 1am. The problem is that he is pretty noisy when I lay him down. It takes him a little while to fall asleep and normally I'd just let him fuss. He doesn't need anything and isn't crying....he just coos and grunts. I hate to go running in there to him but (a) Reese has to sleep. I don't want her to wake up in the middle of the night, especially on a school night. And (b) Kevin has to sleep. This week he has a class that he has to test for and pass. And any other week he'd need the sleep to be able to function at work. So that leaves yours truly to tend to the baby and make sure everyone else is getting their beauty sleep. Back to last night; At 3am he was up again and acting like he hadn't eaten in months. He ate for at least 45 minutes. I'm telling you, the kid is a pig! Again I had to get him back to sleep so I didn't lay back down until around 4:30. Reese was up at 6:30 and it was time to get her ready for school. I am so proud of how well our morning went. I know it won't be like this every morning but I am so glad day one was a success. I couldn't have done it without her cooperation. She was so great. We were downstairs and she was eating her High School Musical waffles (yes folks, you read that right....$1 more for those things but whatever makes her happy in the morning right?) by 7. She had already gotten herself dressed and I had her bag packed. Talan started to stir at 7:15 so I fed him at the table so that I could chat with Reese while she ate. I had the car warming up by 7:40 and we were out the door at 7:50. I was 7th in line at school and even had to wait for the teachers to come out to get her. I rocked it! No school tomorrow but instead I'll have to try out our afternoon ballet class outing. So the adrenaline is officially gone. All I can depend on now to keep me going is caffeine. I am on cup #2 and hoping it kicks in soon. Unfortunately I am someone who just loves to sleep. I mean really, really loves to sleep. If you gave me the opportunity, I could sleep all day long. I love sleeping in, I love napping, I love going to bed early. And P.S. I have the most comfy bed in the universe. I am going to miss my sleep like crazy but this little bundle of deliciousness sitting on my lap is soooooooooo worth the trade. Isn't he yummy???
