Isn't he amazing!

Since Dalton has been home, we have tried to keep him on the schedule they had him on in the NICU.  He was on the "B" schedule and was fed, changed, and vitals checked on the 10,1,4,7 schedule...I had to explain to Chaz that the schedule was a rotating schedule :) and yes, Dalton did eat all night long!  Anyway...well since he's been home, he's proved to me what I thought while he was in the womb...he has his days and nights mixed up, AND it is much funner to sleep in mama's arms than in his brand new bassinet!  So nights have been very fun...he's a very content baby...but is much fussier and awake at night. SO...needless to say, mommy hasn't been getting much sleep.  So my wonderful husband has been offering to stay with him between 10 pm and 1am so that I can sleep for a few hours before I'm basically up all night with him.  Well, yesterday Charlie worked a 14 hour day and didn't get home till 8 pm and was exhausted...but still offered to hang out with Dalton until 1 am.  I argued and told him that Dalton would be fine in his bassinet and just to lay him down and go to bed.  I quickly fell asleep on the couch next to the bassinet and when my alarm went off at 1 am for Dalton's feeding, there was Charlie...sitting in the dark holding Dalton so that he didn't wake me up!  He had to be up at 5:30 to go back to work but still was so thoughtful to let me sleep!  I had to take a picture of it.  I have a pretty amazing husband!!

Well...here goes!

Well, here goes nothing...my first attempt at maintaining a blog.  This is more for myself as most people will not find what I have to write very interesting, except maybe my mom :)  I am an avid scrapbooker who is running about 3 years behind (amazing what marriage and children do for your spare time!) and thought the next best thing would be to keep a blog.  When I was sitting in the NICU with Dalton I swore that I would keep a daily journal of his every day progress...which I did...and now going back and reading it, I realize how much I've forgotten in just 30 days!  So, this blog will help me remember life's everyday moments and how much they shape our little lives!
