some friends and I were sitting around our 6 month old babies the other day discussing sleep habits/patterns/issues, etc and laughing about how when we were pregnant how much we hated hearing "sleep now while you can" or "sleep when your baby sleeps"
Now we get it... and if my baby would nap for longer than 30 min at a time maybe I could nap too.
So, if you're pregnant or even hoping to get pregnant in the next few years... please consider these 5 points of advice.
1. Take lots of long showers and baths. Enjoy every second of that time. And bonus- blowdry your hair when you're done
2. Go out to eat at lots of nice restaurants. We still do go out a good bit but those date nights we took for granted are missed
3. Go out... past 7pm. Luke doesn't go to sleep too early but so many of our friends are stuck home after 6 with a bedtime routine and a 7pm bedtime before their kid melts down.
4. Sleep. All night long. Lots of times.
5. Be spontaneous... go away at the last minute, go out at the last minute, ditch all plans at the last minute. Between needing a babysitter and a baby being on a schedule... most spontaneity is a distant memory!
I do love my baby more than anything in the world but the thought of a long shower, a fancy restaurant and sleeping in make me dream...
