A new meaning to 'Early to Rise'

Most of our friends and family know that we have recently (within the last month or so) moved Hailey into a toddler bed. Our reasoning is to have the transition made and comfortable before the baby comes. She is such a big girl.. and that's what we keep telling her in preparation for #2. A little 'mommy brag moment'... her doctor calls her his 'Super Star' patient because she is doing and saying things at 18 months that she isn't expected to until she's 2 1/2 or 3 years old. It makes us proud. She's pretty advanced which is so nice in some ways, and not so nice in others. Let me explain: the nice part is, communication is GREAT! She loves to talk and she loves to point things out all the time. The not so nice part: she's growing up too fast and it makes us sad sometimes.

However, back to the main reason for this blog. SINCE being in her toddler bed, we have noticed that she wakes up much earlier than she use to. She use to wake up around 8am after being put to bed at 8pm. It was nice for me being pregnant and all. Not so much the case anymore. Now, she comes strolling into our room about 5:30 or 6 every morning asking for breakfast. Yes, she says the word 'breakfast' which is too early of a word for me. Now, if I could go to bed early, this wouldn't be much of a problem. BUT since I have a husband who is so busy he's gone most days and nights till late, I don't get to see him at all till late at night usually. This has become a serious problem. Not to mention i'm supposedly REALLY low on iron.

So, any suggestions on how to change this sleep deprived pregnant mommy who can't seem to pull it together? Oh the trials! :-)
