Early morning deliciousness

Over the last few weeks Cooper has not been sleeping so well at night, resulting in me being a little tired.  Ok, maybe a lot tired.  Since I haven't been compensating by going to bed earlier, I reckon this may be the most tired I've felt since he was born.

Because of this, I've been sleeping in with Cooper lately.  (He is usually not up til 8:30 or 9.)  This morning, however, I was feeling quite wide awake after his first morning feed (7am... a bit later than usual), so I got up.

And I realised how much I've missed this early morning deliciousness.

While he's asleep, the house is all quiet, the traffic hasn't picked up too much yet, all feels calm and still.... I feel so... I don't know... alive?  In control?  Peaceful?  Something good, anyway.

I hang the laundry I put on last night, sit down in my lounge that I cleaned yesterday and relish every mouthful of my porridge.  I do the obligatory facebook check and blog update (:P) and then can choose my activity... will I do my bible study, have a shower or do some housework?  Whichever I choose, it's lovely.

I've always been unsure of if I'm actually a real morning person or not.  I love to get up early, but am not ready to interact with people for a little while.  I need to just be in quietness and get my brain ready for the day.

By the time Cooper wakes, I feel at peace.  I am eager to see him.  I'm ready to start the day.

I think I'm going to go to bed a little earlier tonight so I can get up before him again tomorrow.
