I woke at 5:30am this morning to Tai standing beside my bed -- his face mere inches from mine. After the initial shock of that rude awakening, I explained that it was still "the middle of the night" and tucked him back in. But while I was tending to him I was thinking, "where the hell is Quynh?" I had put her to bed at 8pm the night before and had not seen her since. "Surely, she is dead," I thought (while simultaneously knowing that was ridiculous and she was perfectly fine.)
After settling Tai back in I climbed back into my bed and tried to enjoy the fact that Quynh was sleeping so long. But that only lasted 2 minutes. I peeked at her using the video monitor, but that does not allow me to see whether she is breathing. Knowing I would not sleep until I knew she was OK, I went in. I lingered just long enough to see her move her arm and then me and my aching engorged breasts went back to bed.
She woke at 7:15am and I ran to her at the first peep. I brought her into bed with me and she nursed long and hard. Let's hope she sleeps as well tonight.
