temporary hot seat

People who say they sleep like a baby usually don't have one
-Leo J Burke

Courtney and I had another sleep accident last night. It used to happen pretty frequently before we had a couch but has since become pretty rare. After coming home last night from dinner at Banana Leaf, we decided to take a little cat nap to energize ourselves before heading out. Next thing I remember is waking up, sweating and fully clothed at 1:30am. I think Courtney would've probably slept all the way through if I wasn't so noisy, stumbling around the apartment in my sleepy stupor.

I'm a fairly decent sleeper but my skillz are nothing compared to Courtney. She's a machine. Once when we were talking with one of her friends who had a new baby, Courtney was worried about her own breastfeeding future because she thought it would be physically impossible to rouse herself in the night. We decided that we would have to design a harness system for her so when the baby woke up and wanted to be fed, I would get up, attach sleeping Courtney to her feeding harness, the hungry baby to the boob, and supervise. I hope for everyone's sake that this won't be necessary.
