A Plea to My Son

Last night was glorious, you actually seemed to understand that night-time is for sleeping. Can we please continue this? Your mommy felt like a human, and not a zombie, for the first time since you have been born today. Please, my dear love, tell me that you have indeed figured out your days and nights and that this will continue. I am hoping that your fussiness this evening bodes well for tonight. I will gladly deal with the engorgement of this morning for sleeping six hours (even if it was in two three hour stretches). Please oh please! For mommy's birthday?

Two Weeks 6 Days

Today, my little man is two weeks six days old. He is already getting so big! He smiles in his sleep, but no wakeful or social smiles as of yet! Last Friday he was 9lbs already! Today, we are going to go to pick up my clearance to return to work, some hydrocortozone cream and visit everyone at work. Breastfeeding is going really well. He spills a lot of milk while he is drinking, so though that is annoying its not damaging to the process. I had an oversupply, but we seem to have kicked that with some help from block feeding. I can fit into my wedding and engagement rings now and I am just thrilled as was Chris.

Sully is currently sleeping peacefully next to me while we wait for Daddy to get home from work. The past couple days, during his alert times he has been looking at our faces more and its very endearing. I think he is going through a growth spurt, because last night I fed him from 2:30-4. I waited until he was seriously asleep, set him in his crib, and snuggled up with the hubs. At 4:30, he woke, screaming for food like I hadn't fed him in days.Finally, I just set him up in the side-lying nursing position and attempted to sleep while this kid ate like an animal. I woke every couple of hours to switch sides, but otherwise I think I would be a zombie right now! Well, off I go to see if I can upload some photos before he wakes! Will post if it happens!
