Fantasies

What do you do when you wake up in the middle of the night to feed your baby?

I fantasize about when I get to go back to bed, of course.

Ok, so it's now 1:35 AM, that means:

1:40 AM five strong minutes on the left
1:45 AM five additional, weak minutes on the left.
1:50 AM diaper change for a now-awake baby.
1:55 AM five minutes on the right.

Add 5 minutes of possible down-time, and both the baby and I should be happily passed out by 2:00 and the baby's stomach will be full enough to sleep for another five-six hours.

Without fail, things do not turn out exactly like the plan. Maybe the baby did not receive the memo, or something. Regardless, it doesn't seem fair to me that the baby can be too asleep to eat and yet at the same time too hungry to let you do the same.
