Night meetings = lack of sleep

I love my job, don't get me wrong, but these late night meetings are rough on a new mom! Last night, I was at a Planning Commission meeting and didn't get home until almost 1 am. As I was on my way home, Marc rang to let me know that he and the baby were both waiting up for me. Apparently she woke up at 10:30 and was so excited to see her daddy that she didn't want to go back to bed. She was happy and cuddly... just not very sleepy. Within 5 minutes of my being home, she fell asleep in my arms. I could almost hear her say "ah, that's the way it should be." Marc last night said that that did it for him... no more babies for us. But me? Waking up to a smiling baby next to me in bed makes the exhaustion all worth it. I love our kids so much sometimes it hurts.
