One week later…


Leah’s doing fantastic!

She’s eating well, very alert and much loved by her siblings.

Everyone is asking “does she sleep through the night?”

Um, no.

Newborns do NOT sleep through the night.
Newborns eat and poop through the night.

But, these things indicate that she is thriving and I don’t mind waking up every two hours.

However, I think Alarm Clock Duty needs to be delegated as, in my stupor, I tend to hit the “Alarm Off” button and immediately fall back asleep. (The outlet is on my side of the bed.) Poor Tom’s been waking up to the morning heart attack of, “Crap! You have TEN MINUTES before you have to leave for work! I must have hit “OFF” again! SO SORRY!”

Today I am celebrating because I’m comfortably wearing my regular jeans!
