Have you ever gone to the beach and played in the waves all day long, and when you go to sleep that night, you still feel like you're riding the waves?
How about listening for something and hearing it, only to realize that you were wrong? That's what life is now like with a newborn. Every time I wake up in the middle of the night, I listen for sounds of Piper fussing or crying. Most times, I hear it and she really is awake, and other times, I hear it and when I go to check on her, she's sound asleep!
Matt and I laid in bed last night after Piper had fallen asleep, and I swore I could hear her fussing and Matt swore he could still hear her mobile music, long after it had stopped. Finally, I hopped out of bed (again) to check on her - and low and behold, she was fast asleep and not making a peep. I guess when you get so used to hearing something, you're expecting it and convince yourself you're hearing it! Hopefully, this new phenomenon won't last long - I need my rest! But, I'd rather get up to find her fast asleep than fussing - it means I get to go back to bed much quicker!
