This week Tucker's been a lot more alert and definitely has defined periods of being awake and being asleep. He's a very sound sleeper, taking 3 or 4 hour naps in the afternoons and even sleeping for periods of 3-4 hours at night! This is one huge difference between him and Hayden. While Hayden would be inconsolable for what seemed like hours in the evenings, Tucker's longest fussy spell has been about twenty minutes. It took Hayden a week or two to get the hang of latching on/nursing; Tucker went for it immediately after birth. Even bath time is different. Hayden screamed bloody murder every time he took a bath (still does occasionally) while Tucker stays pretty calm. I knew the two of them were going to be different but I didn't realize that it would be to this extent. Makes me a little concerned what kind of trouble he's going to get into when he gets older!
It's now 11:20 pm and both boys are asleep (in my bed of course). I a still blown away at the fact that I have a three year old and a one month old. I guess I never thought that at 28 I would be this tired, happy, content, frustrated, confused, elated all at the same time! Hell, it's hard enough thinking/realizing that I'm an adult, let alone a parent! What a crazy roller coaster life is sometimes! But I wouldn't have it any other way!
