Speaking of potties, finding the toilet in the middle of the night is an important thing for me these days. Having a baby taking up room that is normally occupied by bladder will do that. Also, drinking tons of water because of the thirst that accompanies pregnancy (for me, anyway).
Luckily, I have to get up only once most nights. Lucky, because navigating the short distance from bed to bathroom can be hazardous in the dark, especially with my sharp-as-a-mole no-glasses vision in the middle of the night.
The easy solution that we employed in Fort Liard? A small night light in the bathroom. It guides you to the bathroom door with its gentle luminescence and reminds you to go around that basket of toilet paper that is still sitting in front of the sink.
Unfortunately, our bathroom outlets are wired in such a way that power flows to them only when the light switch is on. And guess what? When the lights in the bathroom are on… I don’t really really need a night light.
