Can you go back to sleep? It is just 4 a.m....

That is what I find myself thinking or saying to Mateo lately. He has been waking up at 4 a.m or earlier sometimes. What is up with that! Up to our trip to Florida he had a well established night routine. I was used to that and I felt rested in the morning. As much as I tried to keep Mateo's routine in Florida, his internal schedule changed and now he thinks it is 7 a.m when it is just 4 a.m. I hope he goes back to normal soon or even better he start sleeping through the night. 

Once he sleeps through the night and does not need to feed every 3-4 hours, I would go to work a bit more awake, I think. So far, we have all done great with me returning to work. I overcame my anxiety of leaving Mateo by knowing that he was in good hands, at home and he was drinking my milk from the bottle. The past two days have gone fast. I have so much work to do that time flies in the office and when I come back at 1:30 Mateo and my mom are very happy. I am able to work couple of hours in the afternoon while Mateo naps, play in his chair or after he goes to sleep for the night at 6 p.m. 

I am very happy with my new work schedule, no so much with Mateo's sleep one.
