I have not get enough sleep lately as I am taking care of my newborn baby. He is actually always sleeping well, it's just that I need to nurse him quite frequently.
Glad that my husband is helping out with a lot, and recently he helps to burp or carry the baby sometimes, so I can take a rest or at least sleep for a short while before the next feed. Sometimes my two elder children "play" with or take care of the baby and I can also take a short sleep.
I think it's good for mothers to get some help, so we can get more sleep and make us less stressful too. Though it's quite tiring, it's really nice and sweet to take care of the baby.
Are you having enough sleep lately?

Moreover, I think it's also because I am older now and not as healthy as before, hence this time it seems to be much more tiring as compared to my first two children when they were born. But, I really enjoy these special moments as I think the babies do grow up very fast.

I am actually fine if I sleep early and have continuously slept for 4-5 hours even though I wake up very early. But now, I think the longest period I have slept is less than 2 hours. I am sure this time period will increase when the baby does not wake up so frequently later. 
I am sure your bike ride will make you feel fresh in the morning though you have to wake up early for it. How many days in a week you go for bike ride?

That's good! I think it's good for us to have enough sleep as it's good for health too. Though I'd compensate my sleeping time with something else now (working, preparing for homeschooling lessons, taking care of baby), I still try to sleep as much as I can, especially sleep early.

I can still remember how tired I was when my baby was born. Since he often cried at night. And every night my husband would bring him out and they would be back when my son was asleep. Now when I think about it, it is funny to imagine both of them went out and wandered around under our building at night. At that time we hoped the time could go by fast so that our baby would behave better. Now he grows up and I miss the time when he was small.

When our daughter was just a baby , my husband and i take turns in waking up in the evening , to see if the baby is hungry or whatever . It's a big help to me then too .
