New respect for single parents

The past two nights have been rough. Mike started work back Monday and since I don't have to work again until mid-April, I decided that I would have baby duty alone and let him sleep as much as he could.

Sunday night I got 3 hours of sleep at most. Last night, 4 to 4 1/2 hours. Everything was good last night until lil dude woke up hungry and wet at 4:30 then didn't want to go back to sleep until 6:45. It's amazing to me still that as tired as I was, I still managed to do it alone. It was tough; but I did it.

Mike gets mad when I tell him about the rough nights saying that I should have woke him up. There's no way I can justify waking him up when he has to be up at 6. Now, Wednesday night, he gets the all night baby duty since he doesn't go to work Thursday.

Speaking of, Thursday is doctor day again for Dominic. Hopefully he has gained another half pound from our last appointment last Monday. If he has, we don't have to go back until his 2 months check-up; if he hasn't then we have to go back again next week. Fingers crossed he has gained enough :)

  3. Crossing my fingers for ya! If the way that little boy likes to eat is any indication, he should have no problem packing on the pounds.
