Since we sleep trained our baby at around 7 months, she sleeps around 7pm everyday (Thank GOD!!!) I certainly believe it is a blessing and since she doesn’t nap much during day- 1 hour, the most- I think it is very important for her development to sleep longer at night. However, I miss going out at nights. We don’t have family in States, nannies are crazy expensive at nights (also during day) and more importantly we both have some studying need to be done at nights so we cannot go out. So I am missing the freedom of even taking a short walk with my husband around the neighborhood and maybe eating something or seeing a movie. Basically just being spontaneous I guess...

Parenthood requires a very disciplined life with minimal spontaneity and I guess it is the biggest challenge of it for us.
