Life with baby....




Its hard work!!! I never realized how much you can do on so little sleep though. I think I have started to get used to being tired. With Nathans parents here last week, and my mom here helping right---we don't have to worry about meals or the dishes getting done. Its nice to know the house isn't a complete wreck. I spend about 8-12 hours a day either breastfeeding or trying to get Amelia to breastfeed. It has been a real struggle and it can wear you down emotionally. She has had problems latching on, but we are working at it and she is gaining weight. She is 1 oz. away from being back at her birth weight. She is 8 days old...I can't believe it!

once you have a kid you have a new appreciation for what you put your parent's through :)

keep hanging in there. one day you will sleep again-i promise!
one day you will no longer be a milk machine-
when you look back, you'll see that it has passed by faster than you could ever imagine.

love the new pics!
