Hopefully so...No, I haven't met Charlotte yet. Hopefully someday! :)<br /><br />Glad you are getting some sleep. It's so nice that Mike helps as he can. I felt like a walking zombie for the first two or three months. And it's nice of you to give him that extra three hours. Love that you have this down. Give a little, take a little. Nice!crazywildberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06970471452212336975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36796698.post-37171952320137369292010-08-16T09:18:54.419-04:002010-08-16T09:18:54.419-04:00Sit quietly? You haven't met Charlotte! She ...Sit quietly? You haven't met Charlotte! She only sits quietly when she's bone tired!!!<br /><br />I'm finally getting caught up on my rest. Mike takes over for Sam all night while I do the barest minimum of feeding him and then I get up at 7 to take care of Charlotte, move Sam to her room and Mike sleeps in an extra 3 hours.R.

That is very important. <br /><br />Does Charlotte sit quietly while being read to? Does she like to doodle? Try the reading to keep her quiet while still giving her some attention. If she like to doodle, get her a inexpensive drawing board (Dollar Store, Dollar General, Under Five) that she can draw on while she sits next to you. Give her something that she can do while you SIT together. Also, nurse on the sofa so you can see her and talk with her. You may have to get lots of pillows to prop Sam up with, that's ok. Charlotte does need your attention right now too. <br /><br />I suggested feeding him every three hours. However, looking back, at least two of my kids were every two hours babies too. He is a boy. Boys, and a big boy like he is, are often good eaters. This will taper off at some point. So, take some relief in that. <br /><br />Anyway that you could take more time off work and let Mike work more for a little while? Four weeks is nothing. Sorry you have to go back so soon!crazywildberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06970471452212336975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36796698.post-44478705311329430212010-08-14T19:23:41.780-04:002010-08-14T19:23:41.780-04:00Oh, I remember these times.
