What a coincidence – I talked about lack of sleep yesterday, and guess what? I got a solid 6 hours sleep last night! I didn’t wake up until about 7am, and that was only because my alarm went off.
How did I achieve this, you might ask? Was it because Baby A slept through the night? Or did Mummy A feel sympathy for me and let me sleep? As if.
Nope…..it was much simpler than that – we left him at his grandparents last night! We decided we’d have an evening to ourselves and arranged for him to stay there. Didn’t go to bed as early as planned as we had a friend come round for a while. We also watched The Apprentice (very addictive – we’re hooked), so by the time we went to bed it was 12.30.
From recently becoming a deep sleeper, I suddenly found myself struggling to sleep (maybe I was missing him?) and it wasn’t until after 1 that I finally nodded off. But – I slept solidly for 6 whole hours and didn’t wake up once.
I did feel a bit guilty for leaving him – it felt like we were abandoning him. Ok, I’m not telling the whole truth. I did feel guilty….for about ten minutes. Once my head hit the pillow though….I’m sure he wouldn’t want me to feel guilty!
Ps did I mention I slept for 6 whole hours?
