First 2 months I was up most nights coding the night away, with my twin baby girls asleep on my lap against my torso. I'd just check they were breathing all the time. Though it was probably overkill I can't think of that time as anything else than one of the best moments of my life.
- importantbrian 4y agoGlad to know I'm not the only one. I'm not quite as productive as you though. I tend to watch Netflix, but lately I've been going through the fast.ai videos. I have a hard time getting him situated in a way that lets me use my laptop while he sleeps.
- touisteur 4y agoYeah writing a compiler was the only thing that would keep me awake all night every night and with less than 4 hours sleep (still had to help my very tired and bruised spouse - episiotomy sucks but breastfeeding twins is just devastatingly tiring - lost all the pregnancy weight in weeks, had to up food intake) keeping all the moving things in my head, making small progress, alternated with some learning (formal proof). I struggled for some time to keep them static and my hands free and after some time we found a great position that we would slip into every night. It's around that time I realized that most things with kids are about patience, trying gently and giving them opportunity to help/do (even in their sleep ;-)). I hope you'll keep enjoying these nights.
