It sucks to have to wake 'em up. Especially when they took forever to get to sleep, or tend to be crappy sleepers to begin with. We had a good sleeper once...and for a week we had to drive her to friends' house for babysitting in the morning. At her 5am-ish bottle, I'd just feed her, shove her in the car seat still in her jammies, and she'd go back to sleep. She'd stay asleep through us getting ready at 7ish, and often would stay asleep through getting into the car and driving to our friends' house. Granted, she was ~5 months old, but still...I can't imagine EVER doing that with Shaya or Zach. But it just came naturally to this little chiquita.
Makes me realize just how impossible it is to fathom what it's like to have a high-needs (or just pain in the ass!) baby, if you have a regular or "easy" baby.
