Working the night shift

Ashley

My husband works a rotating schedule of 1 or 2 weeks on and 1 week off. He rotates his weeks on between days shift and nights shift. When he works nights, its exhausting for me too. I tried explaining to him why it's hard on me and it seems like he doesn't really understand.

When he's home, he tries to wake up with me and change her diaper and it's so nice when he does!! It doesnt sound like much but when you have to do it all, you definitely miss it! He's a great father ❤

A couple nights ago, my dogs started barking around 130am. It freaked me out because my husband's and our neighbors car have been broken into. I couldn't fall back to sleep after that. I definitely sleep much lighter now with having a baby and especially being alone over night.

Anyways, anyone else have a significant other who works nights? What do you do to help you get better sleep? And what do you do to make things easier?
