3 a.m., my new favorite time of day

Why that time of day? That's the average time that new baby decides to sleep for a four hour stretch, following a minimum (emphasis on "minimum") of one hour spent screaming, filling diapers, trying to burp, thinking about eating, etc. *sigh*

At this point, I'm in "grateful zombie" mode, when everything seems overwhelming and I am profoundly grateful for everything and anything that actually goes right. However, I know from experience that, untreated, "grateful zombie" mode eventually turns to scary, cranky zombie mode, which is just plain scary. I guess the biggest thing I should be grateful for at this point is that Amanda will be in afternoon kindergarten, which means I can still catch up on sleep in the morning (in theory, at least). *sigh*
