WOW!!! Being a mommy has to be the most rewarding and tiring experience in the world. I never could have imagined how much love you can have for such a tiny person you have only known for 3 weeks.
So far things are going great. Ricky has for the most part been a great baby and is staying on a pretty regular sleeping schedule. He usually wakes every 3-4 hours to eat and stays up for about an hour. After that he is out like a light. Now that family has gone back home, which I must say is very sad :-( I am definitely going to try to start taking advantage of napping while he sleeps. Even a couple hours during the day seems to make the night time feeds a little less exhausting. Rick and I are adjusting to being new parents and I think we are doing a good job so far. Rick came down with a virus a few days after we got home from the hospital so he has been staying away from Ricky as much as possible. Last week I started having a sore throat and cough too!!! Thankfully my mother-in-law came to the rescue and slept over Sunday night. She took the night shift while I got 12 hours of much needed sleep!!! I am so thankful for my mom and mother in law who come to the rescue at the drop of a hat!
Having a baby in the house takes some getting use too but I wouldn't trade it for the world. We (including the dogs) love having Ricky in our lives.
