Pause For Thought
Well Zoe, we might be singing from the same hymn-sheet when it comes to my bone of contention right now 鈥� given the time that you get up to host this show. I鈥檓 talking about sleep 鈥� or really, my lack of it! Because ever since my son Teddy was born 8 months ago, I鈥檝e been waking not once, twice or even thrice a night but four or five times, to feed and cuddle this hungry babe back to the land of nod. I know broken sleep is part of what you sign up for when having kids. A friend recently sent me a listicle of 鈥榯hings about parenting that are much harder than expected鈥� 鈥� and right up there at no.2 was 鈥榮leep deprivation鈥�.听
听
So, what with the yawning and sapped energy persisting, we decided to try a bit of tough love. Off my husband went to his parents, Teddy in tow. The aim was to give me a night鈥檚 sleep and to get him to take a bottle, but the outcome was actually a powerful learning. Because recently I鈥檝e found myself almost wishing Teds would catch-up with his big sister. But as soon as we embarked on our first overnight separation and I got a taste of life post-the baby phase, I was struck by how fiercely I wanted it back. I looked around at the bouncer, Moses basket, changing-station 鈥� clobber I often wish didn鈥檛 occupy such space 鈥� and found myself tearing up. It was a stark reminder to savour this precious, if exhausting and messy, time.听
听
My Dad told me recently that when they were expecting me, they read a book about the spiritual benefits of parenting - intrigued, I鈥檝e started reading it. I love how the author Margaret Hebblethwaite reflects so thoughtfully yet alternatively on signs of childish inhabitation; saying that one of the ways a house actually becomes a home is by the 鈥渃reative co-ordination between the parents who choose it鈥� and tidy it鈥� and the children who mess it鈥� scrawl on it and yet at the same time have called it into being.鈥� That 鈥渟pace in our togetherness鈥� (as Kahlil Gibran would call it) for Teddy and I certainly woke me up to the unique beauty of this life chapter, reframing even the excess of plastic and scarcity of sleep as one ginormous blessing.听
