as efficient as the matrix robots

i'm on the night schedule.

at night he sleeps next to my desk in a basinet.

ding ding. time to eat. or maybe.. i'm hungry. time to eat.

strip him down to his diaper and let him cool off and hang out until he wakes up for real.

take him into bedroom, wake up janel and hand him to her.

janel feeds him 10 minutes until he's drunk.

i take him into the other room, janel goes back to sleep.

take off his diaper and clean him up.

put him tummy down so he can do some push-ups and airdry.

put his diaper on. put his sleeper on. swaddle him up. put his hat on.

if he is not totally drunk i'll hang out with him until he falls asleep.

and repeat every 2-3 hours...

at least that's the plan. we've had variants of the plan the last couple of days. but that's the general flow. now that janel's milk has come in, and he's latching on consistently, i don't get to bottle feed him (pumped milk or formula). that's sucks. i like doing it quite a bit. but nothing i can do about it. as everyone says.. breast is best.

crazily.. considering we have a newborn we are not doing so bad in the rest department. we'll see how long that lasts. fingers crossed.
