Ditto. I used to wonder- evidence here of how oblivious, stupid or in denial I was- when both girls were babies how it was AH NEVER heard them throughout the night. I mean, it wasn't fake sleeping on his part waiting for me to get up. It was OUT COLD asleep. Usually on the couch. I truly believed he was a "heavy sleeper". Unreal.

So, no wonder when they wake nowadays they only want me. I can count on one hand I think how often he got up to soothe them as babies. At the time I had moments of envy that he was not sleep deprived but in the end I feel sad for him and more so for the girls that they didn't get that bonding time with him that I did (bonding with them-- not him!).

Your son is lucky to have you Shell! Really lucky.
