A night in our life ...
7:00 pm - Silence. I love sleepy little men.
8:30 pm - Time to pump.
9:45 pm - I will stay awake until Kara gets home. I will stay awake until Kara gets home.
10:00 pm - Nope. I'm asleep.
10:15 pm - "Hi Kara. Nope. I was not sleeping. I'm wide awake."
Midnight - Kara comes to bed. [It always makes a Mommy much happier after a beer and some video games.]
2:30 am - Damn alarm clock. Why did I decide pumping was a good idea? Right. Low cost. Healthy boys.
3:15 am - The men are awake. Time to eat a bottle and change some diapers.
3:45 am - Aww. I love my bed.
3:45 am - "Kara - Did you pee the bed?"
3:45 am - We simultaneously realize that our dog Leo peed on the bed when I was downstairs pumping.
3:45 am - We are now up yelling at the dog and changing the sheets.
4:15 am - We have clean sheets now. Why can't I fall asleep?
6:30 am - Damn alarm clock. Who thought it was a good idea for Kara to work on Saturdays??
6:45 am - The men are awake.
Isn't this how everyone spends their nights??

If I had a big shiny medal, I would totally give it to you! My wife stopped producing milk at 3 months so we haven't had any middle of the night pump sessions in almost 8 months. I think it's awesome that you're committed to pumping even when it costs you sleep! Go mama!
ReplyDeleteIt was like that when we pumped. Of course, I couldn't do it with work and our schedule, pumping was just not an option after 3 months. Kudos to you for sticking to it!
