So it turns out that having a baby in June is a great idea for a TV junkie. I had a hard time taking naps during the toughest part of my pregnancy because there was always a show to watch. As much as I needed the sleep, I was convinced I also NEEDED my shows, and Quinn'ss naps were the perfect time for me to squeeze them all in.
However, all the shows are on summer break, and I am so tired from being up nursing in the night that I would now NEVER dream of missing a nap. It took me a few days after McKenna was born to get fully in the swing of monster naps, but now I got it.
I run Quinn ragged with a fun activity all morning, and then at about 1 or 2 she watches a show while I feed the baby. Then I put Quinn down, then McKenna down, and then MYSELF down. We all sleep at least 2 hours, and it is heaven. I feel a little drunk when I wake up, but it makes all the difference during the night time routine.
Amen for my shows taking a vacation. I take my TV characters and friends pretty seriously, so if the episodes were piling up on my TIVO or on the Internet, I doubt I would be able to sleep. I haven't even watched one thing aside from my daily dose of Friends since I had the baby. Last night we finally rented a movie because that is a fond memory I have of when Quinn was a newborn -- watching movies with my man. It was nice, but I was so happy to get in bed.
So, again, I say that June is the perfect time to have a baby.
Maybe I'll do it again next year.
