Journey to Ernie at 2am

Well it's 2:15am and I am hanging out in the living room with Charlotte, watching Sesame Street and trying to keep my eyelids open. I don't think I've slept more than half an hour all night and I am so exhausted! But Charlotte is ready to party!

I have to say this is probably one of my least favorite things about being a mom. Most things are awesome, but this whole "baby's awake so mommy has to be awake" thing sucks.

It's my own fault that we're awake in the middle of the night, which makes it even worse. Charlotte fell asleep on my lap at around 6:30, and what I thought would be a quick nap turned into her calling it quits for the night. I put her in her crib at about 8:30 and I should've just gone to bed. But nooooo, I thought it would be a good idea to stay up and drink wine, eat cheesecake, and watch Parenthood. THEN I thought it would be a good idea to continue to stay up and spend some qt with Mike. I didn't end up crawling into bed and falling asleep until midnight, which is SUPER rare for me (I couldn't even stay up until midnight on New Years Eve!). At 12:15 I woke up to Charlotte crying on the monitor. I brought her in bed with us and spent the next hour nursing her and trying to get her to fall back to sleep for the rest of the night, but at 1:30am she decided it was time to get up! I knew that nap at 6:30pm was a bad idea! NEVER AGAIN!

So here we are, hanging out with Big Bird while he's on a journey to find Ernie. We've been up for an hour now so I'm just waiting impatiently for those telltale sleepy baby eye rubs. I hope we get to go back to bed soon. I miss the comfy memory foam goodness.

Hope you guys are all sleeping soundly!
