I’ve got a little baby cooing and squirming against me right now, so this’ll be quick, though I’m still collecting advent ideas and maybe I’ll catch up with them before the 25th rolls around. I hope y’all have found excellent ways to enjoy this season, which seems to be flying/slipping by. I just want to sit in my chair and think about what’s happening and what’s happened and write about it, but the minutes slip into hours into days and suddenly it’s 8 p.m. and the day is practically done.
But I did want to let those of you who read this *roam and rove* that Iver’s out of her light suitcase — she got out last Thursday! Jaundice is gone! — and that we’ve been holding her non-stop since trying to make up for lost cuddle time. Only thing is, our sleep deprivation is getting worse. Woah. I knew it would be tough, but not sleeping for days on end is the worst kind of torture for me. And today marks the TWO WEEK point, people! What’s going to happen in a year? Or two? Or three? What? I want to know!

JB’s really worried about this — it’s the one thing i don’t completely dread because i keep thinking “middle of the night! i’ll get to drink coffee! and watch all the Turner Classic Movies i want!” i fear other things and things way too far down the road, like the age of thirteen, which is dumb because there’s plenty to do immediately, as you know. like the cycle of feed, clean up from feeding, time to feed again. hey out there.

Yeah, it seems like it might be fun at first. And it is, what with all the adrenaline and such that makes you feel like you’ll never have to sleep again. Then, you crash. At least, that’s what I did/am doing. So far, I probably get three hours of sleep in a row at most. Brutal, I tell you!

It gets less painful as it goes on. My friend Andy told me you build a tolerance for the lack of sleep. Sort of true. Don’t forget to practice your naps.
