So much for the schedule!

Well, Friday Nolan hit a growth spurt sending our wonderful schedule into a tail spin. Who knows what schedule he is on now. As the days go by it has become evident that our little man likes to sleep late at night and into the morning, but come afternoon and evening he is wide awake. The only real problem with this is that he becomes overly tired from not napping and then won't go to bed until midnight. This is not very good for Jonathan and me. So please pray that he gets back on a schedule of some sort so Jonathan and I won't go insane from lack of sleep.
Last night was the first night I got up by myself to feed Nolan. Jonathan has to go back to work tomorrow and needs to catch up on sleep. Things went well overall. At what was supposed to be a 4:45 AM feeding, Nolan didn't actually eat until 5:20. I guess he decided he wasn't all that hungry after all. Other than that it went relatively well. I pray tonight is even better.
I am pretty sure he is growing. Certainly feels heavier when I pick him up. I go for my two week check on Wednesday and Nolan goes for his first well check on Thursday. My biggest prayer is that Monday and Tuesday go well since it will be my first time at home all day by myself. I still cannot carry Nolan up and down the stairs so we will be downstairs all day. Jonathan will come home at lunch if he can, which will be nice.
Nolan has been a wonderful blessing and a great adventure, but I tell you what...no one can prepare you for life with a newborn. I've read about every book out there and talked to numerous people who have been through it. But experiencing it is in a world by itself. My goal is to cherish each moment, even the ones where he won't sleep and I don't know what to do. Life is so fleeting and he will be big before I know it.
