I have heard people say you will never sleep again once you have children, and those people aren’t 100% inaccurate. You get sleep in bursts, and you are usually not in a very deep sleep because you are waiting to hear something. I’m not nearly as attuned to hearing Brady yet as Kelly but I’m getting there. Although I think Kelly and I are working something out. I’m taking the early morning hours, and letting her sleep. Bringing Brady downstairs with her bed and getting her out of earshot of Kelly is helping her get some rest. Than I can take a nap later in the day when Kelly gets up and around. Its more important that Kelly is well reseted as I’m not quite equipped for all of the feedings that Brady requires.
I’m very happy that we are at home now, and we have an excuse not to leave the house. So I’m content with that for awhile. My ass has missed my couch a great deal and now the two are rejoined.
James stole pager away from me for a few days this weekend so I can get somewhat adjusted to the new living arrangement and while I was hesitant at first to let him, it was very much appreciated now. I’m tired and can only imagine what it would have been like had I been getting paged.
Brady got her first bath at home yesterday and it didn’t quite have the desired affect that we were hoping. We bathed her then fed her and she was still wide awake for another hour after. Bah. But we did get cute pictures that I’m sure Kelly will put up later.
Ok off to drink coffee and stay awake for a bit.
Welcome home! Can’t wait to see more pics. Take every opportunity you get to sleep!
