One month
Its so hard to believe that ASA is already one month old. It seems like we just came home from the hospital. Of course the past few weeks are really just a big blur.
I know we have made some progress with the routine and breastfeeding. And the nights have gotten easier. That is not to say EASY, just not as terrible. I figured out that if I go to bed sometime between 8 and 9:30 (whenever ASA finishes nursing and goes to bed), I get a bit more sleep. Of course, I sacrifice seeing/talking to my husband or watching anything on TV but at least I get a couple consecutive hours of sleep.
My best friend recently told me that, "This is the hardest it is ever going to be." That phrase has become my mantra and I recite it 84,000 times a day.
On a positive note, ASA gets more beautiful, alert, and strong every day. He is growing like a weed (likely because he eats non-stop) and is, most importantly, healthy.

Are Dads just more fun?
My dad performed magic tricks during bath time and used shampoo to sculpt my hair into weird shapes that made me look like a unicorn.
I think this is Jonathan's version.
Are Dad's just more fun?

What day is it? and other random thoughts...
I am not sure I know what day it is.
I am so thankful for my do-everything phone because without it, not only would I not know the day but I would know virtually noting else. There is a great app that keeps track of my nursing schedule. I catch up on email in the middle of the night during ASA's feedings. Well... I read email and facebook posts - I can't multi-task well enough to actually respond.
MRA definitely has mixed feeling about his new brother.
I had definitely forgotten how hard these first few weeks with a newborn are. I am not exactly thrilled at having to be reminded and that is new reflection on my feelings for the new baby - just the situation.
I wish my house were quieter.
