I was so blessed to have a postpartum doula after our 4th was born. I needed it! I am really bad at asking for help and it was so great to have someone here to clean while I enjoyed the new baby.

Ha Ha Jaycie, I knew you could relate to this post for sure! You guys are getting quite lucky with that little girl who likes to sleep so much at night. And I’m with you on worrying much less about the babies at night as we’ve gained some experience.

Well I have to say that I feel where you are coming from!! This hits home for us too! I, fortunately, don’t “need” as much sleep as my hubby and our new little darling is sleeping no less than 6-7 hour streches every night… So I feel that we are very lucky right now and are getting a bit more sleep with our third than we did with our first two. I remember being “afraid” to sleep when our first was born, now I know so much better!! Not too much watching our baby sleep here, not at night at least. I am hopeful to start a bit of excercise when I am relased by my dr. in a few weeks and am truely enjoying this time, no matter how sleepy we are here!! Great post, as usual Dustin!!

I’m hoping Miss Avery will be giving Bethany much longer stretches of sleep by the time she returns to work! My contingencies are really the most important during those first few crazy weeks when Bethany wouldn’t be back at work anyway. In the past, my babies were giving me at least a 6 hour stretch of sleep by 8 weeks, and working up to an 8 hour stretch by 12 weeks. Hoping for similar “luck” this time around.
