Two

Last night was good. He slept over 6 hours only waking once to eat. He was exhausted to say the least. In the early evening after his Marathon sleep, I passed him to his father so I could take a shower. He had been changed, feed and seemed content. I get out of the shower and I'm greeted by a crying baby. This is a common occurrence unfortunately.

After an hour of rocking he finally fell asleep on me. Of course by this time I was asleep too and my poor husband slept on the couch.

He slept about 4 hours and then It was up to Change , feed, and back to sleep. He slept on his bassinet well for another 2 hours. This time when going back to sleep he fussed, but I left him in his bed and he put himself to sleep. I wish he could do this in the day time. He slept again for 2 hours and this time we moved to the couch. I watched the news and Caleb drifted back off. Again 2 hours later he was wide awake and happy. He spent 30 minutes playing in his chair. After being awake for an hour I started the process of putting him back down. He was starting to yawn. We started by nursing and then went to rocking. He seemed to be settling down and drifting off, but it had taken over an hour. Then suddenly he started to push against me and fuss. I changed him and tried to swaddle him. It made matters worse. We moved back to couch with the pat rock movement.  With in 10 minutes he was out. Of course now I'm stuck with a baby on My chest again.
