6 Hours

Last night I went to bed and dreaded the inevitable waking up and feeling like I'd had no rest but still needing to go feed a hungry baby. That's just how life is for now. And despite the fact that we try to keep her awake more during the day, Camilla doesn't seem to make up for it at night. I woke up during the night and felt a bit disoriented. Mark wasn't in bed, but Camilla was lying there next to me sleeping peacefully. I hadn't intended to leave her there, but must have dozed off. I went to find Mark, assuming he was up working late, but he was asleep on the couch. Then I realized it was 5:00 in the morning. My baby and I had managed to sleep for about 6 hours straight. I could not believe how good it felt to get that much sleep in one stretch. And Camilla deserves a blog post for that. :)
