Isaac woke up to eat at 5:00. He usually wakes up twice during the night at goes right back to bed. I should probably be back in bed, but I decided to fiddle around online.
I’m thankful it’s the weekend. We did pretty well surviving our first week on our own. Ethan and Audrey have been so good with their baby brother. I’m so pleased with how they love him and put up with all the time it takes for Mommy to feed him. I’ve stopped giving Isaac a bottle after several of his feedings. I’ve cut out the middle of the night ones and at least one during the day. Sometimes he decides he is ready to eat again after only 2 hours when I do that, but he’s only 10 days old so we have some time to work on extending that time.
Having a newborn is tiring, but so far, this time around has been the easiest. It’s so much easier to stay calm now that I’ve done this twice already. Also, knowing for sure that this is the last time I’m going to get to snuggle a tiny baby of my own helps me enjoy the time a lot more.
I was going to write more, but I hear Isaac squeaking. Time for a little quality snuggle time!
