One week and 2 days

The last week has been wonderful!  I'm getting better sleep now, but poor Jacob and Elise are not.  The baby was taken off the bili lights, but then had to go back on them.  Sigh.  He's still under 6 lbs. (Jacob says, "He's soooo skinny!")  They worry about little Riley, mostly because he is so little, and having jaundice doesn't help.

Last night they let me spend the night and take care of Riley during the night so they could sleep. (I have offered before, and they were finally desperate enough!)  They got a good 7 - 7 1/2 hours of sleep.  Riley woke up twice during the night, then when he woke up at 7 a.m., and at that point I decided it was time to let momma feed him, or she'd be sorry!  Worked out good, and frankly, it was fun!  I may need a nap this afternoon, but I got at least 6 hours of sleep, so I'm good.  Helps that I've gotten good sleep over the last week, not 3 hours a night like Elise. :-)

I'm a grandama! I'm bushed!

Okay, I can't even compare myself to Jacob and Elise, but I haven't slept much since the baby was born either!

Here's some pictures: 



Hair!  And only one cowlick!
