JC update

Our little guy is a week old now. He's been waking up about every three hours at night, which is much better than LB's every two hours. Also, Hubby is still home, so we've been trading turns with the nighttime feedings. But I'm going to be a zombie when he goes back to work and it's all on me. Last night, JC was up at midnight and I fed him. Then Hubby took the 3am one, and I got up for the 6am one. I've been up since. LB's diaper didn't hold much last night, so he was awake at 6:30am.

It sounds like I got six hours of sleep, but even when Hubby is feeding JC, I still wake up. So we've been pretty tired.

Luckily, the kid does sleep a LOT. At least, for now.

As for me, I've been having a few twinges and pains, but I'm assuming that's all just part of the recovery. It's been difficult with LB, since I can't lift anything over 20 pounds. He wants to be picked up, and I want to pick him up, but I physically can't. Poor guy.

Tomorrow is Hubby's last day of baby leave, then he goes back to work. I'm sure I can manage this on my own, but it was just so nice to have him home all day. :)
