Our Little Prince

Well, the time has finally come where our little prince has finally managed to take over our bedroom!! It took 5 weeks, but he did it! This kid makes more noise when he sleeps than a drunken sailor. I've been told that his 'grunting' noises will start to settle when he gets closer to 3 months. Apparently those noises are normal as babies try to get used to their digestive systems. He also grunts when he's trying to escape his swaddle. So, hopefully he'll get over that soon.

Arthur moved to the guest bedroom so that he could get better sleep at night in preparation for work the next day (plus, he was sick for a while so was banished from us). I finally decided that I would try to sleep on the couch (just oustide our bedroom) to see if I could sleep better too. This sleep deprivation was starting to drive me NUTS! Well, the first night I went to the couch, I managed almost 5 hours of straight sleep (so did Austin)!! I had gone to sleep about 10 PM that night. I woke about 3 AM for a feed and then again at 6:30 AM for the next feed. It was amazing. I felt like a new woman the next day!!

You're probably asking "why don't they put him in his own room?". Well, he's been sleeping in a bassinette in our bedroom. Yes, we could EASILY roll that thing into his room which is a stone's throw away. But that makes too much sense....doesn't it??!!

It's amazing what sacrifices we'll make when it means more sleep.
