Last night was a little different than our first night home - I'm not sure if I'm missing the adrenaline of finally getting her home or if the sleeplessness just caught up to me a little...but it was a lot harder for me to get up for the late night feedings last night. Fortunately, Adilyn had a good 3.5 hour stretch of sleep from 5:30am to 9am. Even those few hours at a time are precious and I'm learning that I definitely need to take everyone's advice and "sleep when the Baby sleeps...". I now know how important that is and will be adjusting my schedule a bit to get less done around the house and spend more time napping when I can!
I have to admit that there is something very intimate and sweet about being able to get up and provide our daughter with the nourishment she needs - even if it is in the middle of the night. There's definitely a sweetness about getting up in the dark and cuddling up with Adilyn on the couch while she eats and just sitting in the quiet with her.
