Sleep

Sleep has been getting better, mostly thanks to my mom who gets up with Colin when he is crying and not needing to breastfeed. Brian also helped over the weekend, but during the week we try to let him sleep since he is working with heavy machinery. :) This morning is the first morning that I was able to go back to sleep after the last early morning feeding...so yay for sleeping in until 5:15! While working night shift has helped me function a little better during the day after not getting much sleep, I am still noticing some of the effects of sleep deprivation. This weekend I went to take a shower  and the water was cold. Sometimes our warm water runs out and we had done laundry all day so I decided to try the other shower because we think that it might run off a different water heater (due to living in an apartment building). Thankfully it was warm because I really do not like cold showers and was so sleepy I probably would have skipped it all together! The next day I went to take a shower again in our shower and it felt cold, I started to turn the knob and realized that I had been turning it the wrong way the night before...to colder instead of hotter...no wonder it wasn't getting warmer. Guess I was sleepy.

Colin and I also survived our first (and only so far) outing alone together to the post office! I was a little nervous and even though the drive is about 2 minutes I kept repeating to myself "take the baby, take the baby" because he was sleeping and I did not want to forget him in the back seat! Thankfully I was second in line and he slept the whole time and no one tried to touch him.

Maybe sometime soon I'll make the blog look a little fancier since I have now posted twice, which means I may actually post on a regular basis.
