This morning I was up early...about 4:30am managing Ms. Brenna and trying to get her to eat and go back to sleep. My decision was to just stay awake as she had stopped fussing enough to quiet down around 6am. No point in going back to bed for me as Matt was to be up in an hour to get ready for his first day back to work...
I decided to take a shower. I read a lot of articles about one of the most frustrating things for new moms or moms of 'babies' is not being able to shower. I always take the time to shower...it's MY time.
Anyway, there I was 6am, warm bathroom, hot shower. Suddenly it hit me as I caught a glimpse of the baby monitor sitting on the counter...ready to go off. Ready to let me know I was needed and ready to make noise. I just wanted 15 minutes. Luckily this morning it gave me 15 minutes. I was in and out of that shower and I am all the happier for it. Thank you little electronic thing!!

I remember those days of just wishing for 15 minutes, but I think that was with the first one. If I remember correctly, and it was a longggggggggg time ago, by the second I knew I could get those few minutes and I definitely agree, it was sometimes the best 15 minutes of the day(for peace and quiet and feeling human, snuggling that cutie would be the best part, right!!)
