This has been an exhausting, exhilarating, busy, exciting, scary, emotional, crazy first week. We came home on Monday and my mom was here. She stayed from Monday to Thursday. I thought I would be okay with her leaving, but I was definitely an emotional mess that night.
Sleep is something I really miss. I seem to get enough to survive, I guess. I just miss sleeping for 7 or 8 hours...I wasn't really doing this the last month of pregnancy either. I think the difference is that I could lay in bed and think about not sleeping and now I have to get out of bed and function enough to change a diaper and feed a baby. *sigh* I do love those moments though. It's quiet and it's just him and I in the rocking chair while he eats. I love it.
I try to stay awake until his last evening feeding around 11-ish, then it is bedtime. Right now it is 11:40 and he needs to eat and get into his sleep sack. That is how I hope he knows it is bedtime! We'll see.
I can't believe how in love I am with this little guy.

He is adorable! Try to sleep as much as you can throughout the day while he sleeps. My mom stayed with us for a week when Ben was born and I remember crying when she left! I could not believe I had to take care of the baby myself. You will do great. Enjoy him because trust me it all goes so fast.
What a cutie! You will find your groove it takes a few weeks though.
He is GORGEOUS!
Remember: About the lack of sleep-this too will pass...
Aww he's a cutie!
Awww Mrs. S. Parker is absolutely adorable! I agree with all the above posts about sleep and how you'll find your groove. Also remember to take time out for your self and ask for help when you need it.
A happy mommy = A happy baby! Congratulations again and I look forward to seeing more posts about your journey in mommyhood!
