Sleep, please!!!

It's too bad we don't remember being newborns, a time when all we had to worry about was eating, sleeping, and pooping. Talk about having the good life! 💤🍼💩

Around the two week mark, most newborns go through a particularly fussy stage characterized by the 3 Cs: crankiness, clinginess, and crying. This is where Daniel was all day today. He constantly wanted to be held and nursed -- and protested quite a bit when this did not happen. What a set of lungs he has too! My boobs ache; they've worked hard today! 😫😫😫

I neglected to mention the good news from the doctor yesterday -- Dan is already up to 7 lb, 3 oz (His birth weight was 6 lb, 7 oz!), and he has also grown 2.5 inches since birth too. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 This means we no longer have to wake him up for middle of the night feedings. Score! My boobs were in so much pain overnight last night that I ended up pumping at 2 am. Ahhh, relief! Dan slept in over 4 hour segments, and the sleep felt amazing. Keep it up, little guy! 💤💤💤

To add to our insanity, Will was also a total mess tonight. We have had house guests for over a month now, and I think it's finally catching up to him. We are all eager at this point to get into a new routine for the four of us, which will happen beginning on Monday morning. Woohoo! We can't wait.🌟🌟🌟

Because I am such a crazy person, I have another job interview tomorrow. I think I should have Dan attached to my boob during it for dramatic effect. 😂😂😂

So, yes, life is crazy, and I'm reminded of the mantra: this too shall pass. It did with Will, and it will with Dan. We have much more confidence this time around, and I am beyond blessed to have such an active, amazing partner by my side. 💗💗💗

So now, sleep, please, Dan, sleep!! 💤💤💤
