You are awake too, go figure! How was the photo shoot? How long do we have to wait to see the new pics of julia? How is it going now, 1 month down?

Sleep is getting a bit better here - he usually has one long stretch in the beginning of the night for a few hours. He is still hard to get to go to sleep though day and night - I can tell he is tired and it is time for him to nap, but it is like he fights sleep. I hope that gets better soon especilly before I go back to work. Dh is pretty worried about being alone with both of them I know. But I keep telling him it will get better eventually!

Haha of course I'm awake, between J's waking and DH's snoring I have almost given up on sleep!  She's like clayton and sleeps for a good few hrs at the beginning of the night, then the rest is a crapshoot. Sometimes she will sleep for a 4 hr stretch then be up every hr after that.

The pics were good, we just ordered the announcements and not any packages. I figure we will buy a ton when we do the whole family shots anyway. We get to pick them up today which is awesome.  I asked about using both groupons and she said that's fine but suggested we do them in separate visits because 2 photo shoots in a row  could be alot for the baby to tolerate.  

Have you used your new pump yet? I was a little nervous at first bc it was so different than the one I borrowed from my sister, but I really like it! I pumped a lot more than I thought I would! Now I just need J to take a darn bottle lol. When do you go back to work?

Ya, I have been pumping each night to build up some in the freezer and to keep my evening supply up so he doesn't cluster feed. I have been bad about giving him a bottle, but he needed one during my root canal and luckily took it well. So now I need to do it a couple times a week so he doesn't refuse one when I go back to work. I go back March 6 which seems like its coming up soon! Both dh and I are dreading that, it's going to be tough in the beginning for us both.
