Day 17: You Are Already Sleeeepy

**Yawn**

Birthday shout-outs to start. Happy Birthday to the sisters-in-love, Carolyn & Dacia. (Yes, they’re twins!) And go figure, they got no snow for their birthday this year. Apparently, they usually do. In fact, it was a gorgeous, bright & sunny day today.

Baby awoke at 1:15 am to eat…and proceeded to stay awake until 4 am. Thankfully, she rarely pulls this stunt. But that meant that I didn’t get to sleep until 4 am myself, and had to be up by 8:30 am. I think that today was the first time I’ve ever kinda wanted the jolt from coffee…LOL. Only kinda though, because the thought of coffee is still yucky and those jolts are only temporary. I needed a full fix to get me through the entire day. I made the choice to stick with baby all nite, alone, because Hubby needed his sleep. He had to preach this morning, and was planning to wake up early to finish up his sermon prep. Being the loving & supportive wife that I am, of course I allowed him to sleep. Plus, he’s not feeling well. There was no way that I, in good conscience, could allow Jamayia to disturb him to play at that unearthly hour of the morning. I didn’t even bother making him sign an IOU. He steps up to the plate all the time, no need to keep track.

Baby started taking her iron drops tonite. Hopefully she’ll steer clear of all possible gastro side effects. I really don’t want that for her….
