Days are getting shorter

The days are getting shorter now. It's a quarter to ten and I'm still up, but this has become a rare occasion. Most of the time I'm in bed, hoping to get four or five hours sleep before the first baby wake up of the night. He is in the habit of sleeping four to five hours, then three, then two, and finally one before becoming so awake that I just have to get up, leaving her to sleep just an hour or two more as she had to wake up each time to give the feed. All in all it takes about 11 hours, but I'm usually up at 6am or 7am, trying to keep him cheerful and then help him sleep. It's impossible to work, you just have to look after baby.

People say it'll end soon and things will begin to get back to normal. I hope so. I need to sleep. I also need my work day to be just a little longer. Sometimes.
