Sleep...or the lack there of

The past three nights have been rough. Our normally great sleeper has turned into a horrible sleeper who doesn't like to go to sleep or stay asleep. This makes for one tired mama! Last night he just would not sleep in the pack in play so finally at midnight I got up with him and we slept in the chair. After sleeping in that chair for 2 weeks after his birth, I was not looking forward to it and when he woke up at 4 am, my body was hurting. He ate, I pumped and I put him down in the pack in play only to wake up again at 6 am. Another feeding and he was back down. But not for long. We were up again at 7:20. I long for the day I get 8 hours of sleep!

But for now I am trying to just take one day at a time, nap during the day when I can and enjoy my little cuddle bug because I know the day will soon be here when he wants nothing to do with his mom who woke up all night with him as a newborn.

This morning also involved lots of spit up and a blow out diaper. A bath was a necessity!

I just love the way he smells after a bath. He is still loving his bath. He seems so relaxed as I pour water over him and wash him off. After his bath we cuddle for a little bit in his towel and then I rub him down with lotion.

He tried to stay awake after his bath, but soon fell fast asleep.
