I have been awake at such awkward times (in the hospital and at home) and It is a really strange feeling and definitely one that I am not used to.
I have always heard from other parents, that when a baby sleeps, Mom and Dad should do the same. We did that a few times, but it’s so hard because you just want to watch your baby and enjoy their beauty and smell.
Ever since Nina and I have been together (sleeping), I am used to having white noise in the bedroom. But, while we in the hospital, the air conditioning was blowing loud all day, Niko was under blue lights for 36 hours, and we had lights on for the nurses — and all that made us really loopy. I told Nina that every time my eyes shut (which was a lot because I was sleepy), I felt like the room was rocking back and forth (like a cruise ship room) and she told me she had the same feeling; weird. Now, I have to know what the hell was being pumped in our hospital room. Probably baby crack because babies smell good!!!
