Our smiley guy

We managed to capture of few smiles of our cute Will...they don't have too often, but when they do, we just love it!

Here's our tired boy

Four Hours?

Who knew 4 hours of sleep could be called "wonderful"?

I remember talking to family, friends, and co-workers about the sleep schedule of their babies. I remember many of them saying that a 4 hour stretch is wonderful. I thought to myself, that sounds awful. I can't imagine being happy when only getting 4 hours of sleep. I love sleep, and would usually require/desire 8-9 hours of sleep each night. I now understand what people say about 4 hour stretches of sleep. We have veered away from the getting up every 2 hours (yeah!!!), and Will has done pretty well at night (cross our fingers). Ranging anywhere from 3-6 hours of stretches...get up to feed, and then usually 2-3 hours more. For this I am grateful.

Will is almost 6 weeks old. We are enjoying him more each day. Yes, we are still adjusting, sleep deprived, and trying to figure out this whole nursing thing (ugh!), but feel happy to have survived this long! Looking forward to more!

Will, 5 weeks
