Eat, sleep, poop...that is pretty much the schedule around here...and monkey jammies (for both Luca and Mommy!) are the usual attire. Now that he is three weeks old, we are also seeing increased awake/alert time moving into the window between eating and sleeping -
AND, I am happy to report that he seems to be success- fully distin- guishing his days from nights, sleeping consistent 3 hour stretches, even spoiling me with a few hour stretches some nights! (Hope I haven't jinxed myself!)
I definitely underestimated the whole sleep deprivation thing that comes along with a newborn, so I am eternally grateful that we are getting to stay with Mimi and Grandpa this first month... mom and I have gotten the whole tag team routine down... yesterday afternoon was an example of a perfect session where I hand him off to her after feeding him so I can go pump while she burps, changes, and cuddles him - then, after I'm finished and she's rocked him back to sleep, we enjoy a glass of wine together in the quiet early evening...a happy hour, indeed!
