Night #2

Caleb's 2nd night went even better than the first! Our evening nurse last night did convince us to use the nursery as help throughout the night to get some good sleep. I felt much more comfortable this time since Caleb has been eating so well and she was very clear that they brought him in immediately if he started to show signs of hunger. So at about 10:30pm he was taken away so we could all sleep. They first brought him back at 11:45pm to nurse. He ate well for about 20 minutes and then fell asleep on Mommy. He makes it clear when he is done too, he tends to unlatch and lay back into me. They took him back to the nursery around 12:15-12:30am. I woke up at 3am wondering if he was going to be coming back soon. They didn't bring him back in until about 4am. Again he ate well for about 20 minutes, made it clear he was done and then feel asleep on me. The nurse at this time did say she changed two poopy diapers while they had him and on the second he did his first "pee all over". Of course I laughed, because we had the pleasure of avoiding it this time! He left the room around 5am, right after Ben got ready to leave too. (He is headed back to the farm this morning to work on a few chores). Again, Caleb must have been sleeping great because he didn't come back in our room until about 7am this morning. Again ate wonderfully, and is now sleeping in his crib beside my bed. So all night I was able to rack up at least 6 hours of great sleep. Ben also was able to sleep solid from 10:30pm until 5am this morning (minus the uncomfortable "bed"). Today should be a busy day. We have a lot of visitors planned, along with a massage for mommy and a circumsision for Caleb. Hope you all had as good of a night of rest as we did!
