Ironies of Parenthood

Dear G,
I am totally thrilled that you are sleeping soundly, even through your coughing. However, I am caught by the irony that the night you choose to do this is the night that I have chosen to stay up much later than normal to take care of you.
You see, almost every night for the last two months, no matter what time you go to bed and no matter when we've fed you, you've woken up at least once before midnight and needed a new diaper or snack. Tonight, I was going to preempt being woken up out of my sound sleep and stay up. And you're sleeping through.
I love you and sleep well.
Mommy
