to sleep or not to sleep

Being a new Mommy comes with lack of sleep for most. Yes, there are those lucky mommies who have little ones that have slept through the night since they were 6 weeks old ( you REALLY don't know how lucky you are). My little Makai has gotten much better with his sleep habits now that he is 4 months old but we still have some sleepless nights, some nights where he wont fall asleep till midnight and some mornings where he is up anytime between 3 and 5 am. Then we have good super amazing nights where he is in bed by 10 and sleeps until 5 or 6 ( although he has only once slept for 7 hours alone).

Anywhoo......

Everyone always tells new mothers to sleep when baby sleeps. I understand this concept and frankly I love myself a good nap.

But.....

I struggle with the whole nap thing.

Because I like a little ME time.

Makai and I go to bed and wake up around the same time every day.  Soo when Makai is napping I like to take my little ME time.

By ME time I mean actually eating, going to the bathroom ALL BY MYSELF, or enjoying a nice hot shower. Not to mention a little computer time and boob tube time.

So here I sit blogging, ignoring the advise of others, as Makai naps next to me.

Maybe tomorrow I will take a nap...or maybe not
