Scotty’s Shift

Today is finally Friday. After a near melt down last night because the lack of sleep is catching up to me, I look forward to a good night’s sleep tonight. I have been pumping all day so that Scotty can take the night shifts. I know this sounds a little unfair, but I have been taking every shift since Sunday night. I still have to wake up at least every three hours to pump so that I don’t lose my milk flow. Now, you might say that since I have to wake up anyway that I might as well just feed her rather than pump (and make Scotty get up too). But the process is so much more than that. We start with a diaper change, then we feed, then we swaddle, then we rock back to sleep. This is roughly an hour long process. Scotty so generously has volunteered to take tonight so that I can get some real sleep. I am looking very much to it! Thanks Scotty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
