Sleepless Nights Begin

I could definitely use a good nights sleep. I think Friday night was the last good nights sleep I've had for at least 6 months or maybe longer. It's okay, it's a sacrifice but I am looking forward to at least 5 hours of uninterrupted sleep. Needless to say our first night at home with Avery went fairly well. She ate at 9:15 and I think I got an hour of sleep sometime before she woke up at 11:45. She was just stiring and not fully ready to eat yet. I fed her at 12:15 and she took 35cc which wasn't too bad. She wasn't ready to eat again until 3:45 so I got about 2 hours of sleep in between the two feedings. It takes her about 20-30 minutes to eat and it takes me about that long just to fall back asleep.



It's not all bad though. I'm enjoying the lack of sleep. The kids are still enamoured with Avery. I'm sure the novelty will wear off before long. Until then it's a little chaotic in the bedroom where her bassinet is.
