Score one more for Levi
Well friends, i’m not gonna lie to ya, yesterday was tough. Levi started out so good – a perfect angel for when he met Ms Gina (who brought an awesome chicken pot pie), Jill, Toni, and Brooke at lunch time..but then things just went downhill from there. He wouldn’t sleep, he wouldn’t eat more than an ounce at a time, he pooed like a racehorse (though he’s only projectile pooed on John!), and just wouldn’t settle for more than a few minutes. So by the time my folks came at 6 to give us some relief – we were exhausted! We went to bed at 8:30 to catch some zzz’s before John got up for the nightshift at midnight. And of course, once the grandparents came, Levi turned his game around and finally took a good long rest so that by the time John fed him at 3 – he was ready to eat 5 freaking ounces! Crazy kid. But now on the morning shift – all is well with the world again. I have to just keep taking deep breaths and remembering that each day is just a day and not the rest of our lives. Every time he doesn’t do something perfectly i get worried that we’re engraining a pattern for the rest of his life and that he’s never gonna sleep, or that he’s always gonna want to be rocked to sleep. But i have to remember that he’s only 13 days old (wow) and that every day is a new day…and there’s always wine! (for me, not the kid) I also posted a couple pics below of Syd. Now you may not know it if you come over (because she’ll probably bark her face off at you), but she is the sweetest doggie ever and she has taken to Levi like it’s her job. Below is a pic of what Syd does every morning when she greets everyone. She runs up to the top of the couch and checks on her baby and once she’s satisfied, you can almost see her nod her head like “he’s okay” and then she runs away (but not too far away). Once we caught her giving him a super quick kiss on the nose. But as the second pic below shows, even Syd is learning that having a baby is exhausting! Have a great day out there in the outside world..tell it we said hello!
