hank has a penchant for 2am cuddling and incessant eating. he just doesn't want to be put down. i was hoping for better results with his new rocking bassinet. too bad i forgot to buy batteries. oh well, here's hoping for tomorrow night. i have a whole new perspective on the things i tell my patients now! man was i ever naive about the levels of exhaustion one can reach. i am pretty sure the last time i was this tired was in college when i was stretching myself between two jobs and a full time course load. luckily, i can stay home instead of falling asleep in IHOPS. another bonus i didn't have then, a helpful husband! it is also helpful that i am not smoking and drinking a pot of coffee in order to stay up! much better for the health. who need caffeine when Hank is around! i am looking forward to the weekend so that Sean and i can take shifts and maybe catch up on some sleep. i am also looking forward to getting out of the apartment, walking around chesnut hill, and having a cup of starbucks coffee!

one downside to caffeine is that it passes through in the breast milk...you may already know that but just in case.
I didn't when I had Luciana, I also learned about the terrible effects of eating too much broccoli the hard way- poor Luciana!
Exhaustion and all, you look very sweet snuggling that precious boy even at 2 a.m.. I think my poor kids have all been diet coke addicts right off the bat! You can always try the 'an apple wakes you up better than a cup of coffee' trick.
