Schedules

Everyone knows that caring for a newborn is tuff stuff. During the pregnancy my friends that have kids would say "Get all the sleep u can now" and "Be prepared to be a zombie". Now it's all toooooo real!!!!!!!!???!?!?!?!?!??!

We write down every time Dylan has a poo, pee or feed just to make sure we're hitting the mark. Poo and pee's are followed by diaper changes and comforting and feedings are followed by a burp and rocking until sleep sets in.

Yesterday Dylan was a bit fussy. So everything took a little longer.

here's the schedule from yesterday which has been pretty typical:

1:51am Feed
2:13am pee & poo
3:12am Feed
6:35am Feed
6:55am pee & poo
9:15am Feed
10:15am feed
10:20am pee
1:00pm Feed
2:10pm pee & poo
2:30pm Feed
3:15pm pee & poo
4:00pm Feed
4:30pm pee & poo
5:50pm pee
5:55pm feed
7:40pm feed
10:05pm pee & poo
10:15pm feed
11:25pm pee & poo
11:30pm feed

That's 21 events in a day with the longest break being 3hours and 25 minutes which is probably less given the burb / upright time. To all our friends considering having kids: "get all the sleep u can now!"
