Nights #1, 2, and 3 all went swimmingly.  Jules slept in his bassinettl, in the office, all the way through each night.  He stirred a little around 3-4 am each night, but I gave him his “bink” and made sure he was still tightly swaddled and with that he stayed asleep until 5-6 am each morning.  Every night, he goes a little longer and longer.  We’re putting him down just a tad earlier every night too… We’ve gotten him down closer to 9:30 pm lately, so he’s sleeping a solid 8 hours now.

Let’s see…. let me name all the things a girl can do with herself when her babies are sleeping soundly at a decent hour.

#1 – Write blogs..obviously.

#2 - Go to sleep early (but she won’t.)

#3 – Trim the Red Bajingo Warmer she’d previously been knitting for the last 11 weeks so as not to frighten small children and the elderly at the pool anymore.

#4 – Shower, for the first time in two days.

#5 – Window shop apartments that might be nice to live in when she finally has the courage just to get it over with and be a single mom.

#6 – Bake cookies…. because, even though she wants to be skinny in case she is ever a single mother, she knows that he’s counting on the fact that she’ll probably never have the courage or energy to make the leap, and cookies are just plain comforting when she’s lonely and numb.

#7 – Think about all the people she’s mad at because they didn’t bother to RSVP to her son’s 2nd birthday party, which she’s decided to cancel anyway because not enough people RSVP’d to make it worth it.

#8 – Miss her kids almost enough to wake them up from their beautiful slumber and drag them into bed with her.
