The Joys (and challenges) of Parenting

We've learned to appreciate the little things.  I love that I don't have my planner out, lists, and am not running around balancing work and a million other things.  Instead, the big plans of the day have been reduced to eating, sleeping, and staring at Mayson.  I will say we are definitely tired!  Mayson has not been keeping weight on as well as we want, and breastfeeding hasn't been working.  As a result, we have been on a frequent feeding schedule of every two hours, which hasn't left much time left for sleep or anything else. We know it will all work out and we'll get our routine down soon!  Until then, we are having fun looking at her funny expressions, her "milk face" after she eats, dancing in the living room, and cuddling together.  She is becoming more alert with increasing hours in the day with her eyes actually open.  We love her wide-eyed goofball looks.  We try not to make fun of her to her face.
