Last night, this kid was a hungry hungry hippo. Kept me up pretty much all night with tiny cat naps in between. I basically kept him in bed with me all night and I discovered he preferred to be propped up by a pillow in the corner of my bed.
So, after his 5 am weight check and a feeding, he was finally out for the count and I got a nap too.
We also had to prepare him for his circumcision at 2pm. He was allowed to eat up to 12:15 and then was cut off from feeding until the procedure. So, the pacifier had to come out and he loved it. This was one of the rare moments when his eyes were open and he was alert.
He also continued to nap until the nurse came to get him. There he is in the corner of my bed again. And that was Dada’s spot for the past 2 days.
At 2:15 pm, the nurse came to get him and Mama got to accompany him. He was swaddled tightly and given a pacifier with sugar water drops to keep him calm. He slept through most of the procedure and braved it like a champ. This is him being wheeled back to the room by Mama. Afterward, he ate for 24 minutes, he fell asleep again. This baby definitely has his days and nights reversed. I better rest up for a busy night.
