One of the hardest adjustments for both of us when M was born was the lack of sleep, or, later, our inability to decide when to get up in the morning. So tough for 2 people who love to sleep.

So, from the beginning, we decided that we each could have one day to sleep through the night and as late as we want the next day. Come Friday night, J can rest assured knowing that if the girls wake up at night, I’m on duty, and he can sleep ’til noon the next day if he so chooses. Same goes for me Saturday night through Sunday AM.

It’s only one day, but I really look forward to it all week.
