Week 3 - more craziness

Husband works Friday's from 2-9 and is home by 10. Saturday he works from 9-4 and leaves by 8am so he literally comes home to sleep and I take care of Sam all night. Shouldn't be a big deal, he's our second baby. I made sure to get a nap on Friday so I was fine - until he had a crying fit from 10:30 - midnight. Husband helped me out for the 2nd half until my milk supply was back up to feed him at midnight.

Jump to Saturday night and husband determined I needed to get caught up on my sleep and he took over Sam duties until I could get a few hours of sleep to start. I slept from 10-12, fed Sam. Then slept from 1-5:30 and part of that time husband rocked Sam to keep him asleep a little longer so I could get more sleep.

In total - I got 8 hours. Good start right?

Then I fed Sam at 10 and upon finishing he spit up blood. We figured it was probably from a cracked nipple but didn't want to take any chances with a 3 week old so we went to the doctor's office. Doc. has instructed me to pump and dump the cracked side for 2-3 days and only feed him on the other side. Not something I would have come up with on my own. So there you have it folks, in case this should ever happen to you.

Now both kids are sleeping, I should take a nap but I'm going to work on some much needed bill paying!!!
