Final Approach
this has nothing to do with anything we've talked about before, I just thought I'd bring this up..
a friend of mine, a little older than me (I'm 40) had her first (only?) kid with her husband almost a year ago. She hasn't had much sleep since then. Before, they were in Germany and due to her high risk pregnancy and Germany's uber-liberal family leave laws, she didn't work for over a year (before and after birth). Now they are back stateside and she's working (from home, which is a plus - IT consulting). Husband isn't working yet but she's making enough to carry them.
Not having to work helped with the weird sleep sched - nap when you can. Now her work sched is making the lack of sleep almost a crisis. apparently he is restless for hours on end at night.
crikey I feel really bad for her. I'm almost past the point I'd ever have to worry about this anyway - I know I couldn't cope with no sleep for weeks on end.
I guess I don't expect any stories or a reply but I think I might owe my parents a lot of thanks - I think it would be easier to have a teenager around than an infant!
