Our Little Secret

Harlan and I have come to an agreement that is working out very well for both us of. We have figured out how to both get a little more of something we like while helping each other out. You see Harlan loves to sleep in bed with Mommy and Daddy, but we are not very fond of it. It makes for a very uncomfortable night of sleep with a baby tucked in your arm, and you pretty much have to stay in the same sleeping position all night. Harlan has to sleep in his pack n play next to the bed. He has pretty much figured this out and does well in there, most of the time. Now Mommy really likes to sleep and there hasnt been a whole lot of sleeping going on in our house the last 10 weeks. So what is out agreement you ask. When Harlan wakes up in the morning to eat and be awake for the day anywhere between 7 and 9 am, Mommy hears Harlan starting to wake up and brings him to bed for a snuggle before we get up. This allows Harlan to get time in bed with us and it usually buys mommy a good extra hour of sleep. Don't I have a sweet little boy that is really good to his mamma??? We dont use this same plan of action for his middle of the night feeding bc the goal there is to get him fed and right back to sleep in the pack n play. So that makes our morning cuddle time very special, and it really is my favorite time of day. He looks like the sweetest little angel sleeping there next to me. He smells delicious from the lotion rubdown he gets after his bath everynight. Then when he is waking up he will open eyes and just kinda look at me so peacefully it melts my heart. Of course this quiet time doesnt last long bc he eventually remembers that he is hungry, but it is very special to me.

so comfy all stretched out!
