Late night quiet

beetigerThe baby's not quite sleeping through the night, but he's coming much closer this last week or two than he ever has before. He went down in his crib three hours ago and I haven't heard so much as a peep yet. Bard went to bed early too, claiming tiredness and unwellness and depression.
It's funny, now that the baby is sleeping better, I just can't sleep very well at all. Perhaps I forgot how. The last few nights I just lay in bed for hours, fussing about this and that, until the baby woke up around one or two, and then I got him and cuddled him and we fell asleep together. Tonight I'm just staying up working on projects, since I've got quite a bit to do on house stuff and the stuff for my new business project, and quite a bit of it is focused computery work that doesn't work well with baby trying to bang on the keyboard. (We've gotten him his own disconnected keyboard to bang on which he enjoys, but he's a smart kid and knows which one is the live one.)
I've been prone to insomnia before, but this is really upsetting because I'm actually exhausted, and lonely too. I need the rest. But I also really need the computer time. I definitely don't want to be sending "wake up and cuddle me" vibes to the baby; him sleeping in his crib is a good thing, even if him sleeping in the bed seems to be the only thing that settles me down.
Rhys has two teeth, and is sort-of-crawling, and is going to start eating finger foods pretty soon. Life progresses. Midnight approaches. I wonder if I am tired enough to go to bed.
