To sleep or not to sleep, that is the question.

Our little guy is really a good sleeper. At night, between feedings, he goes right back to sleep.
During the day, he enjoys sleeping in the baby wrap, in my arms, or on my lap. (I should note that it does not have to be ME holding him, he's satisfied with anyone's warm body).
However, put him down for more than 10 minutes and he wakes up a tad cranky.
So, I made a sling and have been able to carry about my business whilst he sleeps.
The trouble is, lately he's been not wanting to go to bed at night until about midnight.

So, during the day, I hear echoing in my head the advice of moms who have gone before me saying, "Sleep while he sleeps!" And while that worked for first the month or so, I am kind of wanting to get back into regular life and not sleep all day while he sleeps otherwise I cannot get anything done. Therefore, I put him in the wrap, he sleeps, I am productive.

But then, I am tired from 10pm-12am when he likes to play.
Oh the dilemmas!
