Rock-a-Bye Baby

It's 5 am........

I wrote the previous thought about 30 minutes ago and I'm struggling to come to grips with the reality that I have been up for a couple hours and my day has now officially started.

After turning on the idiot box to pass the time while the joe brewed I thought I'd punch this key board a few times to document this window in our young parenting career. Although I am struggling to come up with more than a couple lucid observations.

Who doesn't treasure a good nights sleep? Our definition of a "good" night sleep has changed over the last 15 weeks. Pierce is in bed by 8:00 and I am not embarrassed to say that we follow most nights around 10:13 pm. Pierce refills around 1 and then again about 4, although recently it seems as though the 4 am time slot is at this point more out of habit than need.

While rocking him back to sleep is one of the greater joys of my life, it leaves me awake enough to contemplate the Hernandez Household Headlines of the week and then I end up writing a blog post that makes little sense, has run on sentences, all while a shake weight infomercial is playing in the background.

The coffee is ready!
