What I Miss from Before Klara

You never know what you are going to miss from the pre-baby days. My own answer surprised me: I miss sleeping in the dark. I now have two sources of light hitting me all night long – one for the left eye and one for the right. They aren’t strong but they are sources of light anyway.

I need to be able to jump out of bed and grab the baby the moment she stirs during the night in order to prevent her from screaming. And if I have to fumble in the dark, searching for the crib and tripping all over myself, that won’t be possible.

N wears an eye mask but I can’t do it. I tried once and had horrible nightmares.

This isn’t a big deal or anything. It’s just funny how it’s never what you expect that you miss.

Oh dear, I am sorry to hear it! When my daughter was this age, her schedule had become relatively regular. To prevent her from screaming, I used to set an alarm on my phone about 15 mins before her wake-up time so that I could be ready when she began to stir. I don’t know if this would work for you, but it helped me a lot.
