Last night and this morning were rough. After sleeping for 5 hours between 7pm and 12:30 am, Aedyn decided to wake up, take a bottle, go back to sleep at 2am,wake up at 3 am, feed, go back to sleep at 4am, wake up at 4:45 am, grunt and groan for about another 45 minutes, go back to sleep at 5:30 am, wake up at 6:30 am, feed for an hour, go back to sleep for a half hour, wake back up at 8 am,stay awake until 9:30am, feed, grunt and groan for the next hour, take 2 ounces of water, fall back asleep for about 45 mintues, wake back up around 12:30 pm, took a bottle, fell asleep at 1pm, and now it is 2:30pm and he is still sleeping. Finally!
Yesterday was a breeze compared to last night and today! I feel like a zombie, but I was able to take a shower to wake myself up a bit. I am exhausted, but watching him and holding him,and seeing him grow makes it all worthwhile. Aedyn is getting stonger day by day, lifting his head for about 10-15 seconds at a time, and he is becoming so alert;his eyes are focusing longer on objects further away. He recognizes our voices and will turn towards us.And finally when he falls asleep he is like an angel,perfectly peaceful. I love to caress his forehead and chubby cheeks, and stroke his little perfect nose. I love to give him kisses on his perfectly 'M' formed lips.

Awwwwww.... Poor Dee.
Sorry to hear that you are the walking dead...
I love the pictures. Is he trying to be Tom Hanks up on those piano keys? Lol.
Sending you warm fuzzy thoughts and hopes you will sleep more than 2 hours at a time! <3<3<3
Motherhood sounds exhausting but worthwhile...Aedyn is such a peanut :)
