How did I get stuck with early birds?

My first daughter is usually up in the morning around 7:30. This is much too early for a person like me who could sleep until 10 am. Yea, well this morning the one in the belly decided to wake me up at 5 am with a little dance routine on my bladder. I'm cursed with early risers it would seem.

Re: How did I get stuck with early birds?

  • I have a feeling that mine is going to take after DH and be an early riser too. When DH was 3 his parents taught him how to tell time and he had to wait until no earlier than 6AM to wake them up. So at exactly 6 in the morning they got a squeeling torpedo boy launched at their bed... every morning. I think my body has been preparing me for this since DH and I got married, b/c over the past year I have been waking up earlier and earlier. It is rare that I sleep past 8:20 on the weekends.

  • Aww, Sam.. That's too bad. Good luck in the future, maybe the new one won't be so testy when she comes out.. At least we can hope!

  • I thought all kids were early risers?? Maybe I've been misinformed. I hope so!! I swear, I'm going to teach my kids to tell time and tell them they can't come bother mommy until the clock says "10:00"...

    LOL...of course, I kid, but it is tempting!

  • I think all kids ARE early risers :) I remember when DS was around 1 years old, he slept until 9 or even 930 in the morning. It. Was. Amazing!  I thought for sure I had hit the jackpot. Nope, that didn't last long. Now we're lucky if the LOs sleep until 7:00. And it's always the case that the days they sleep in are the days they have school and have to be woken, and the days they're up at the butt-crack of dawn are weekends!

  • I am right there with you Sam...

    Trey likes to make me pee at 330-4am and Laila is up at 630am every morning.  We were up watching Mickey Mouse and eating cocoa puffs before the sun was shining.

    Thank god for Pepsi.

  • DH and I are both late risers and we go to bed pretty early too... we just like to sleep and are wondering when the gene is going to kick in with DS.  Until DS was about 2, he got up at 6, then all of a sudden he started sleeping until 7:30 or 8 and it was heaven.  Now it's back to between 6 and 7.  Waaaaaahhhh.

  • Oh, my, I am giggling at 7:30 being early.  I am at work by 7:30.

    My DS gets up at 5:45, which is a huge improvement over the 4:00-4:30 wake-up time I endured for the first 15 months.  I am grateful for the days we sleep past 6.

    DS born 8/8/09 and DD born 6/12/12.
