Naptime Needed

I am taking advantage of these newborn days to catch some rest during Layton's nap time.

But, to be honest, I have truly surprised myself. Before Luke's arrival, I pictured myself being SO exhausted every morning. When Layton was a baby, we would sleep in until about 9 every morning after his 6 am feeding. However, now with two kiddos, that can't happen. Layton gets up around 7 am with tons of energy, which equals NO morning nap for me!

So, my solution...

I have been taking a shower before Blake leaves in the morning for work. It does the trick! I am wide awake, feeling refreshed and ready to tackle the day. I manage great until about lunch and then I am definitely needing a nap, which is perfect timing since it is Layton nap time! So, all three of us lay down and catch some zzzz's. This will last for a while...until Luke gets on a new schedule, but for right now, during the newborn days -- it's working! Hallelujah!

Who wouldn't want to snuggle with my Lukey Bear?
I know I sure do!
