3 weeks with baby

Yesterday we hit the 3 week mark with Ryan. My days go something like this:

*Co-sleep with Ryan, in bed around 11pm
*Wake up about 3 – 4 times during the night to feed/change diaper (including around 4-5am when Steve gets home from work)
*Get up with Ryan around 9am
*Put him in his swing while he’s wide awake = I get enough time to go to the bathroom and pour a bowl of cereal before he starts crying (every morning, without fail)
*Sit on the couch and feed Ryan and let him sleep until Steve gets up around 2pm. (Sometimes I try to put Ryan down in his bassinet after he falls asleep on me, but I never get more than ~10 minutes… just enough time to grab a snack..)
*Steve gets Ryan and I get to shower (usually)
*Steve and I trade off with Ryan for the rest of the day until Steve goes to work at 7:30pm – if we’re lucky, we’ll actually get him to sleep for about an hour in his bassinet.

In other news… Steve sent me for a 30 min massage Saturday morning – it was heavenly! And we had a date Saturday night – we went out for dinner and it was sooo gooood. Grandma&Grandpa Dickey watched Ryan for us for a couple hours. It was a wonderful weekend, but SO exhausting. I think I’m still recovering from it! I’d kill for a full night of sleep

What’s Ryan up to? He is awesome at holding his head up and he loves tummy time. He’s starting to focus and follow us with his eyes and we’re seeing lots more smiles – although they’re just gassy ones so far, we’re pretty excited to see a real one soon!
