Having a baby will change your schedule, your routine and your inner clock. Surprising, eh?
We have developed a new sleep routine the past few weeks. Elise gets fed between 9:30 p.m. and 11 p.m., and then zonks out in her crib for about five hours. She gets fed again between 2:30 a.m. and 4:30 a.m. before snoozing for a bit longer. She is awake by about 6:30 a.m. every day. Wide awake. (She got that gene from Mom; Dad usually needs time and coffee to function.)
So, that means we're up every day at 6 a.m., and I'm fine with that. It's better than 5 a.m., and the days seem longer.
However, as a result of this shift to an earlier day, I'm fighting sleep by about 9 p.m. But since that's a quiet time around here, I've taken to working on photos and the blog at night.
That can be a problem. There would be twice as many blog entries if I did it earlier in the day. Half of the time I realize that I am falling asleep in mid-entry, so just delete it, shut down the computer and stumble to bed.
It's now 9:20 p.m., and I have made it through an entire blozzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

To use the words of Laura to her father..... Scott - "wake up and go to bed!!!!"
Gee, Elise is now 2 months old and it seems as though you still do not realize that a schedule will not be adhered to for months - maybe years.
