When you're not even 3 months...

...how do you effectively communicate the fact that you're tired? By sleeping almost 14 hours. Seems that mom and dad aren't the only people around here exhausted by this week's events. Gwen fell asleep around 8pm and had the continuous feeding till 8am, and slept almost to 10am. Many lessons have been learned, like we'll need intra-night diaper changing, nuances on dealing with and resetting the pump when you run out of formula before you expected to, you shouldn't forget to unclamp the tube after refilling the bag or else the pump's alarm will wake you up as soon as you fall soundly asleep, finding out that a 4-ounce bottle can be less than 4 ounces and the pump's alarm will wake you up to reinforce that, we need a better "nest" to keep Gwen in place on an inclined mattress, and during manual feeding you have to be really careful to keep the syringe attached to the tube or else you've got some cleanup to do.

Evie, of course, came to the rescue at 6:30am today to make sure that mom and dad didn't waste daylight by catching up on sleep. Oy!
