It's 2am and I'm

[Martha]

taking hot chocolate chip cookies out of the oven
all for just for my prego self:drool5:
what you doin'?

[Doran]

And wondering why I'm awake at this hour (3:40 am for me!) without hot stuff in the oven (heh).

Those sound yummy. I did eat a choc chip pan cookie (I don't make individual cookies anymore -- too time consuming :blushing:) -- but they were made with freshly ground whole wheat flour and lots of flaxseed. Does that make them a health food?

It is sad, but true, my 2:00 am days are over. I forced myself into bed at 11:30 last night, read two chapters of Pride and Prejudice and was asleep. Of course, then I heard my husband get up at 6:45, at which time I became aware that I had drunk too much water prior to bedtime, and just as fell back asleep prior to my 7:30 alarm call, the phone rang -- a customer. So, up at 7:20. It's really rather depressing.

I was fast asleep, my wake up time is around 3:00!
Those cookies sound good to me, I'm trying to wean off sugar.

Up nursing ... but I think I would rather have been eating warm chocolate chip cookies! :)

Your sleeping schedule sounds positively heavenly to me, a person who tends toward very erratic sleep during certain times of my cycle. How I would love to crash at 11:30 and not awaken until 6:45 (fortunately, I can do that sometimes)! What exactly is it that you find depressing about that? :confused: :)

[Martha]

I haven't had 8 hours of consecutive sleep in over a decade.
If I'm not nursing a wee one, I'm baking a wee one, or cleaning the puke of a wee one.
Not that I regret it or anything, just saying I'd rather be passed out oblivious than up, even if it does involve chocolate.:)

The number of hours is not depressing. It's getting used to going to bed early with very little time when someone is NOT asking me for something.

Sorry I cannot relate to erratic sleep -- I always sleep very peacefully and rarely awaken.

I get it now, and I understand that. You are fortunate that you sleep soundly. I could have said the same 5-8 years ago, but things have certainly changed. Hope yours lasts. :001_smile:
