Silent Night, Holy Crap!

So we've been struggling with Max wanting to nurse almost constantly, and being pretty fussy at times. But Tuesday night, after a long hard Monday, we gave him a bottle of expressed milk and a bath and he slept for 5 hours straight... woohoo! Even our little kitty, whose been acting out a bit since Max's arrival, slept on my pillow and refrained from her "death howl" for an entire night.

Unfortunately, I didn't sleep so well because I kept waking up thinking Max would be up. And after about 4 hours went by, I started getting super excited that he'd been asleep for so long... oh well! It was still pretty cool. Last night he did a 4 hour stretch and several 1-2 hours. Now he's been sleeping for a few hours in his swing, and I've gotten some stuff accomplished around the biohazard zone that used to be our home. Oh, who are we kidding... we've never been neatnics!

Life is going pretty well~ the turtles and tadpoles are once again making appearances in the cemetery, and my bud M. and her little one have been enjoying jaunts with us there on Fridays~ thinking "Tuesdays with Morrie" but with less life lessons and more diaper explosions (on the babies, not us. Usually.)

My parents get back to Maine in a few weeks and I'm looking forward to them being back and getting to know Max. Should be fun.

Well, going to try to squeeze in a few more chores before the Booby Bear awakens.

That's a hilarious title. Sounds like it's coming up for air time. Cheers all around...
