I am glad you guys are doing great. It was nice to talk to Karen last week while you guys were out at your dr's appt. It sounds like Jina, Lyla, the dogs and yourself are doing great. Lack of sleep is not good, makes for crabby people, but then you realize this little miracle of a baby is so worth it all!!!

I can only say what a blessing it was for me to help out! It's the kind of stuff I truly live for! Thanks for letting me! It was really a lot of fun!

We'll have to find that book…seems like it would be a good idea to learn ahead of time how to get that to happen

Oh yeah. The lack of sleep is brutal and truly is the main contributor to the overwhelmingness of the whole ordeal those first weeks/months. At three months Kory started reading “Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child” by Dr. Marc Weisbluth, and this really helped us establish a schedule and BT started sleeping through the night (at 3 mos.). Enjoy her sleeping on your chest now, the first 3 months will be over before you know it and she'll be getting so big!

For me that lack of sleep turned me in to a light sleeper and I don't think I got a good nights sleep until my 3rd child was around 4. LOL I guess I shouldn't have told you that. You adjust though and like you said, it seems easier. Good luck back to work tomorrow. I will be thinking of you all. xoxo

Yes, I agree. The lack of sleep does you in! But thankfully it does end! What a great, busy week.

Lack of sleep is def the most challenging part of the first few months. Sounds like you are settling in nicely.
