Portia’s Island

So, this is what being a night person feels like. Its kind of weird, and for a day person like me, quite unpleasant. Staying up late at night (without the benefit of caffiene…huhuhu) is something all new parents must do–lucky are the very few whose babies have a duirnal habit. Maybe Orrin is such a night owl because he was born at 8:19 pm, and thus his “day” begins just when everybody’s day is ending.

The routine is usually like this: Papi stays with him will past 12, or whenever he’s finished feeping and burped and content, and its my turn until the sun goes up again. Somedays, he feeds long and then sleeps long. But nowadays, he feeds for 1 hour, sleeps for one hour, and then feeds again for an hour, and so on. And for some strange reason, there is nothing like sunlight and day sounds to get him to a deep slumber. Hay, little Orrin. The things Mami must do for you. Its hard to get irritated at the cutest thing in the world though, especially when he gives you that almost smile….

So anyway, bottom line is: I look like hell lately, but its ok. I’m not getting enough sleep, and my eyebags are huge. And to make it worse, I still can’t sleep very well during the day, when I know I should to make up for the sleepless night. I will never be a night person. I hope my little adorable bat changes his sleeping habits soon, because he sure wasn’t born to a mommy bat. I so look forward to the day when all of us can wake up with the sun…
