In this stage of my life, 3am is one of my favorite times of the day. Yes, I really should feed Logan and then hurry back to bed, but the quietness of 3am usually keeps me up for a few extra minutes. It is the only time when I’m awake and the entire house is silent. I can sit and think at 3am. It’s the best time of day for me to blog, catch up email, or just sit in silence and snuggle with my littlest man (anyone who’s tried to have a phone conversation longer than 3 minutes also knows that it would also be the best time for me to talk on the phone…if only anyone else I know was awake!). I know that there will come a time when Logan won’t need me at 3am and I will sleep through the night again (at least I’m hoping we get to that point), but for now I’m enjoying my 3am’s.
By the way, 3am isn’t the only time that Logan eats during the night, but Doug’s usually still up at 11 and Macy’s usually singing in her bed when Logan wakes up to eat at 5:30 (she goes back to sleep, but she’s gotten into the habit of waking up for about 45 minutes at 5am…obviously she didn’t get her parents sleepy genes!) There aren’t many opportunities for silence around here! 😉
