sleep deprived

Ah sleep. Is it fair to say that I have been sleep deprived for almost 7 years? Am I being a complainer? I have always been a person that needs lots of sleep. My mom can attest to that. So, when Abigail came along and challenged my 8-9 hours of continuous sleep I struggled. I often napped with her in the afternoons. When Nathaniel was born I had 2 months when both kids slept. And with Jesse, well there was no chance of taking a nap. But oh do I want one today! Jesse was starting to sleep through the night about a month ago and by that I mean we got 3 consecutive nights where he would fall asleep at 8pm and wake up around 5 am. He hasn't done 3 nights in a row since. I these past few nights I am wondering what is up! Last night he woke up at 2:30 and Andrew went in and got him back to sleep. I was in there at 3 again and he didn't fall back asleep until after 4:30. I probably got back to sleep at close to 5. I am amazed by how well I do get through the day and without caffeine I might add.
So, as I caught Jesse falling asleep for his afternoon nap, I knew that this was a picture I had to capture. His blonde hair highlighted by the sun, his feet pushed into the crib sides and his sweet pouty mouth.
That mouth that I remember focusing on when I first saw his face.
Oh sweet boy...would you just sleep through the night already!
