Well, I am obviously still in love with this little guy, but the part about how well he sleeps doesn't seem so true anymore! He is starting to wake up more often, or wake up at 3:30AM and stay up until 7:30 AM like he did Saturday night. (Emmalyn then woke up...no more sleep for Mommy!) He is also no longer always happy to be put down when he is awake. He has apparently decided he would like to be held all of the time, thank you! So, we are getting a lot less done. BUT, I guess that is life with a newborn... and it is still better than it was with Emmalyn. This too shall pass, right? :)
The rest of this still rings true: :)
Emmalyn has also been adjusting VERY well to being a big sister. She gives him lots of kisses and wants to hold him frequently. Our only concern is that she wants to touch his face and get TOO close. She is never left alone in a room with him. :) She has, on more than one occasion, proclaimed "NO, MY BABY JUDE!" if someone in public gets to close to him. :) I feel like she is getting a little less undivided attention from me, but not too much less. She is doing really well with being told "I can't right now, baby, I am feeding Jude." when she asks for help or to play with her. But she loves him, and doesn't seem to mind sharing the spotlight with him. :) My favorite reaction so far is that she sings Amazing Grace to him when he cries...so incredibly sweet!
It seems I had a lot more to write, but can't think about it now. I don't spend too much time online anymore because my free time is so limited. When I do have free time, I feel like I should be paying attention to a baby, doing a household chore, or getting a little sleep when I can. I feel guilty being on the computer. :) So, until Jude nurses a little less often (right now it is every 2 hours), I will probably continue to lay low on the computer. :) Here are some pictures, though.
