Sleep? What sleep?

So it seems that Little Miss Priss still has her days and nights mixed up. This mainly entails power napping all afternoon and night, then power feeding from, say, 1 or 2 am until 8 or 9 am. This has been exceptionally frustrating when she cluster feeds during this time, because then I only get 10 or 15 minute naps in between feedings (or none at all in many cases). Other times I catch a good hour or hour and a half naps between feedings, so those are the good nights!

The first few nights home from the hospital were the worst. I was so desperately tired that I would find myself falling asleep sitting up while she was nursing. In order to keep myself awake, I finally gave in and put the laptop beside the bed and started watching dvds (and listening to them through headphones…well, one headphone. Why one? Who knows…) to keep myself awake in those very early hours.

To give you some sense of the quality time we’ve spent feeding in those wee hours, I give you a list of the movies I’ve worked through (and their running times) incrementally over the past week and a half.

Sense and Sensibility 2 hours 16 min
My Big Fat Greek Wedding 1 hour 35 min
Pride and Prejudice (BBC Miniseries) 5 hours (!)
Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella 1 hour 16 min
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button 2 hours 46 min
Mrs. Henderson Presents 1 hr 43 min

And I’ve watched all the special features on every disc, too, so add on a few hours for that.

Yowza.
