On sleep.

Before the baby came along, I was a light sleeper. I would wake up with every little sound. My wife, on the other hand, wouldn’t wake up if the house was on fire (figuratively, as we never got to the bottom of that one). She would sleep for 10-12 hours easily.

These days our roles have changed. As soon as I fall asleep, I’m dead. Nothing will wake me up. She gets up multiple times during the night, breastfeeding sessions, and I have no idea when that’s happening, I’ll just wake up in the morning, when the tinyMovieStar starts asking for breakfast.
