Naps

I've always been a huge fan of naps, especially now that we have two kids. When I'm pregnant I get really tired. When I was pregnant with Tyler it was easy because I could just take a nap whenever I wanted. Being pregnant with Sara wore me out more because I could only take a nap when Tyler took one. Every day I would really look forward to my nap and I'd be ornery if I didn't get one. Once Sara was born I was still able to take a nap because she would sleep when Tyler did. That's not the case anymore!! Now they tag team so I can't get a nap. This is what usually happens... Tyler will go down for a nap and I'll spend about a half hour doing things or cleaning up then I'll go lay down. This is Sara's cue to wake up hungry. While I'm feeding her I try not to look at the clock and I keep hoping that she'll just fall asleep while she's eating. This, of course, does not happen and she stays up for the next few hours. Once Tyler wakes up Sara usually falls asleep in about 10 minutes. Even though I'm pretty disappointed with my foreseeable lack of naps in the future, I really don't have much to complain about. Sara has been sleeping through the night for a little while and that definitely helps!

Hey Jen! I got your email quite awhile ago and then forgot to come check you out. Anyways I will be checking back often.
Naps are the best! I am learning to be content to just Kyle napping, so that at least I can shower for the day. Oh, and I loved the post about what you found in Tyler's pockets. Too Cute. Good thing you checked before you washed them!
