mommy insomnia

No matter how tired I am these days, I can't seem to get to sleep until after midnight. Cam is now in a groove where he goes down at around 7, then wakes about around midnight and then 5am to feed, finally getting up for the day at 7-7:30am.

The last few nights, I've been so tired that I get to bed at 10pm (sometimes 9!) but toss and turn until Cam gets up for his midnight feeding. Then after he's fed, I can easily go to sleep. I'm starting to think this has more to do with mommy-ness than sleeping. Like, I'm trying to sleep but really I'm just thinking about Cam getting up so I can't settle down until he does?

Boy, I hope this isn't a trend for future years. If I'm one of those moms who can't sleep until her kid is nicely tucked in his bed, even when he's 17, I'm in BIG TROUBLE.
