I used to play on my phone with DD1 (candy crush!), but I'm so beyond tired this time around I sit with my eyes closed, haha. Sometimes I'll check Facebook, Hellobee, my email. Not that anyone emails me in the middle of the night..lol.
I've also taken to shopping. I need to get out of the house before this weather kills our bank account, hahaha!

Early days: Hang out on my phone
Once I went back to work: sleeeeep. We co-bedded for awhile and I would nurse side-lying and catch some shut-eye. It seriously improved my quality of life and my output at work.

Look at my phone. I want to read but it's harder on my eyes for some reason. I know the light of my phone is not good for sleep, and they say it can disturb sleep even when used before bed. But I am so tired I don't have much trouble falling back asleep! I usually read hellobee because there isn't much new posting after a certain time on Facebook, Instagram, and email!

In the early days I watched a lot of Netflix on my phone, but when she started noticing the sounds etc I stopped! Now I just check fb, email, Instagram, HB, jezebel, nytimes, huffington post, or read via the kindle app

I used to play around on my phone but then I realised it was making it much more difficult for me to fall back asleep! NowI just close my eyes and try not to think too much. Or I glare at my husband while he sleeps soundly next to me.

@miramira: haha! I smack dh to get him to stop snoring - doesn't even wake him up.
usually I nurse side lying in a setup where I can fall asleep without worrying - thank you king bed!

I've started back up with candy crush. It was my nursing past-time with DD1 too. DD2 only nurses one side for six minutes and then passes out again so I'm not getting far.

Depending on my mental state or the time of night, I either check social media, play spider solitaire on my phone, or close my eyes and snooze a little. I would watch youtube videos if not for my soundly sleeping husband next to me...

Read trashy-ish novels on my tablet (mostly urban fantasy). I burned through 50+ books in LO's 1st month of existence!

@miramira: Haha I do the same to my husband!
I usually grab the iPad mini (it's the perfect size) and read emails, check social media, browse baby clothes online, or read a book in the kindle app. I try not to doze off but sometimes it happens.

Before LO was old enough to be bothered by tv I binge watched netflix. The entire Lost series in her first month of life, and that was just the overnight feedings lol. Once she started noticing TV I would read my kindle or play on my phone.

Motn -close my eyes and drift. He doesn't nurse for very long. 10 mins max. Then I have to burp and keep him upright a bit.
Day time will surf web, text, watch a show if toddler isn't around.

I fall back asleep. I don't co-bed anymore but I go to get her when she wakes up in the night and bring her to bed, sleep while she nurses, and then when I wake up again take her back to her own bed.
