Man, I feel like I could sleep for a week. I had almost forgotten how taking care of a newborn could take so much out of you, especially one that is very fussy alot during the day. I do not think Lydia is as bad as Emma was but a lot worse than Chloe. Chloe was so laid back and never fussed. Lydia is eating good and eats about every two and a half to three hours during the day. A little longer at night. She will usually eat at midnight then around 2:30 to 3:00 and again around 5:00 to 6:00. I cannot wait till she is down to one feeding a night. This time around I have been trying to do most the nightly feedings myself but I think it is wearing on me. Chris said he was going to wait till i just gave out and said here take her. I am getting close but I do not sleep well anyway unless I am doing it. Chris is a great dad and I know Lydia is ok , so I do not know why I feel that way. I call her my little snuggle bunny because she will just let you hold and snuggle her up. Plus this being probably my last baby I just want to eat it all up. The girls are doing great. Emma always wants to look at Lydia and says how cute she is but she never says she wants to hold her. Chloe loves to come up and hug on her and pat her little head and go awww. Chloe also like to play with the buttons on the bouncy seat which drives me crazy and it is usually when Lydia is in it. Chloe is a little clingy right now and always wants to be held, it's like she knows she is no longer the baby of the house. I am feeling pretty good other than being exhausted. i am getting around great and no longer having pain other than some cramping. Let me tell ya i do not look forward to my headaches coming back which i know they will. They always do and it almost makes me want to stay pregnant. Pregnancy is the only time they completely go away. I can hear you now, that is why you had babies so close together. Well I will part by posting with a few pics.

I love looking at that sweet baby - keep those pictures coming. I hope you get some relief from the exhaustion soon. I remember only too well with Rachel. We're saying prayers for Chris' eye and hoping for a recovery soon.
Love to all of you.
