Is it really 3am?!?!

I've lost all sense of "normal" hours! Here it is, 3am, and I feel like it's maybe 9p at best. We're still on a pretty steady 3-4 hour feeding schedule with Christopher, but he's going for longer stretches of 5-6 hours at night sometimes. (I'm always excited when we get a good run in there!)
David went back to work this week, so there has been some adjusting going on. We've got a system going now where I (obviously) take care of Goo during the day, then David takes over when he gets home and I have the evenings to move around freely, make dinner, wrap up things I had planned to do during the day, etc. He stays up until after the midnight-ish bottle while I go to bed to get a head-start on my sleeps, and then lays him down after he's done eating. Then it's my turn again--I take care of the graveyard shift and see it on through until around 6p.

Christopher is still absolutely wonderful. I swear I just can't get enough of that little boy! He is definitely putting on weight and filling out very nicely and is having longer wakeful periods now, which I love! He looks so different when his eyes are open than when he's sleeping. He has these big beautiful gray-blue eyes...they remind me of stormy seas. (insert dreamy sigh) I really am smitten!

We had our first big trip to Norman last week and it went very well. We went to town Thursday morning and came home pretty late on Sunday--we probably got home around 10:30 that night. It was a lot longer trip than I had anticipated, but overall it went well. Christopher was quite the hit with everyone he met (shocker!). I was more than relieved to finally get home, though, I'm not gonna lie! Being away for extra days definitely made me appreciate being at home again.

Well, at least you're not falling asleep on your watch. :)
