So Very Tired

Published by Kerry | Filed under Uncategorized

Not that I thought this would be easy, trust me I didn’t, I just didn’t realize how tired I could be only after 1 day of having both Max and Wes home.  Overall it wasn’t a bad night.  They both took their feedings really well and for the most part slept through their 4 hour blocks.  I probably should have tried to get some sleep between the 10pm and 2am feeds but for whatever reason I didn’t feel tired. 

I know it is still early and that things will not always be this easy but so far I think we have a good handle on things.  It doesn’t hurt that Max is so mild mannered and that all it takes to keep Wes happy is a bottle and a binky.  Now, I am still not sure how the hell I am going to do this on my own for 3 months while Kerry is at work – trying to do anything, even scratching an itch on your nose, is a small feat while trying to feed these guys, and they can’t even crawl yet!!  I am sure I\we will figure it out once we get into a routine.

The hardest part so far has been working through Wes’s acid reflux while he takes his bottle.  I have had AR in the past, but not to the extent that Wes seems to have.  You can tell when it is starting because he starts to cough a little and then he squirms around with a lot of force for as small as he is.  It is pretty heartbreaking watching him suffer like that, but he is resilient and still takes his full bottle every time. 

I may change my tune tomorrow, but as far as the last 30 hours (give or take) have gone, I would say it was pretty easy to manage and not as hard as I expected.
