Happy one week birthday Nathan!!!
Nathan is an awesome baby. I know that I might be setting myself up to fail by making this claim, but I have to brag on him. He has been great since the beginning, but each day he just gets more complacent. I like to think that God realized how bad my pregnancy was and is now having pity on me. We are pretty set on a three hour cycle of eat, play, sleep. Sometimes, we skip the play.
What's crazy is that nighttime is great, and this is the thing that I was dreading the most. Because Nathan was below his birth weight, the doctor asked that I not let Nathan go more than 3 hours between feedings. So I have been setting my alarm and waking him up. Except for last night, when I forgot to set my alarm and he went 3.5 hours and then work me up. And early this morning, he went 4 hours between feeding before he woke me up.
Nathan also, rarely cries. The first night home was rough, but other than that he rarely all out screams. When he wakes up he kind of just makes noises. Daniel says that is sounds like he is pouting. Nathan will make a noise, then wait for me to get up. Then he'll whine again, and wait.
I actually like nighttime, I get up and Nathan nurses right away. Then I take out my iPhone and read blogs for 20 minutes. Then I stop, burp and change Nathan. Then we sit down and he nurses for 20 minutes while I read more blogs. Nathan usually falls right back to sleep. Night has kind of become me time when I can feed my blog addiction. I also get to look at my precious baby. I usually look forward to the next time I wake up again.
Pray for Daniel that he would become a hard sleeper. He is a very light sleeper so he hears everything when I am up with Nathan. He usually hears Nathan whining before I even wake up. Also, Nathan is a LOUD sleeper. We think that he dreams a lot (is that possible?). So he breathes loud, and pants, and squeaks, and even moans in his sleep some times. I sleep right through it, but Daniel hears almost everything.

haha... don't worry, daniel will become such a deep sleeper that it will drive you nuts! :) at least that's what happened to dan. at night i wake up the second i hear a peep out of auggie, down the hall and behind a shut door, while dan doesn't even roll over to all-out wailing. just wait..... and i'm glad things are going so well for you! yay!!
ReplyDeleteAlex used to hum or sing or something in his sleep. It was so cute! He is a quiet sleeper now and I almost forgot he used to do that until you said Nathan is noisy. They change so fast!
