I've discovered how to get more sleep. It's an amazing discovery, really.
I need to go to bed no more then two hours after I get Alex down for the night.
I could NOT figure out why, as soon as Johm came to bed last night, Alex was suddenly up every three hours again. Then I realized- he went down at 9:00 with NO PROBLEM. It was the easiest putting to bed we've ever had. So by 3:30, when John came to bed, Alex had already been sleeping for 6 hours. It's no wonder he woke up and wanted to be fed. He then woke at 6:30 and 9:30.... and I finally gave in and got up with the little guy. He's so HAPPY when he wakes up after enough sleep, it really helps drag my sorry butt out of bed.
I'm trying to re-establish our morning routine anyway, because when John goes back to work I'm not going to be able to roll over and go 'your turn, honey, I need sleep!'
Anyway, with the 170000000000 cm of snow on the ground, we'll probably hole up in the apartment today for the most part. I need to pick up a prescription in Kingsway at some point, but other then that? Hello, movie marathon. John spent over three hours shovelling yesterday between Liz and Keith's and his mothers, so other then a visit to Keith today I think he'll be quite happy to stay home.
