Neils hours suck. When I was still pregnant I could wait up for him. A few times a week C will just happen to be up to eat when he gets home from work, but more often than not, I'm up early with the baby and we are both sleeping when he gets home from work. As the summer approaches, and there are more nice days for people to go out and drink, there is more demand for alcohol and therefore Neil works longer days. 19 hours of overtime last week.. and at 10pm on a thursday he has 3 hours of overtime so far... it would be one thing if he worked your typical 9-5 and stayed late a few days of the week.. but his work day doesn't start until 130pm.. so basically he gets up around 11, leaves around 1230, and comes home anytime between 12-4am.
To top it all off, Camille is going through this horrible "I won't sleep in my own bed" phase, and no matter how deeply she's sleeping as SOON as I put her down she wakes up. I really don't like co-sleeping, but it's the only way I've been able to get her to sleep. I just want to cuddle up with Neil, and I can't. Half the time I can't even sleep in my bed. I'm more comfortable sitting up in a chair with her on my chest than I am laying in bed with her on my chest.. so on the chair in the living room is usually where I end up.
Weekends are the hardest.. because he's still on his work schedule, and I'm still on my mommy schedule.. so he sleeps until 1-2, and I'm up by 9 at the latest with the baby. I sit here in the chair and watch him in bed all morning. I see him every day, but I miss him so much.
