No more 'Mellow Yellow'...

Well, you guessed it. The honeymoon is over. Oma and Opa have left and so did Daniels mellow character. He slept through the night from Saturday to Sunday (mainly b/c his parents were a little tired) and ever since (starting Sunday night) he's been extremely fussy. Mommy got about 4 hours of sleep and after the 5am bottle by Daddy got a wide-awake Daniel from 8am all the way through about 4pm without more than 20 minutes of sleep for the little man. He was also crying almost non-stop when he wasn't eating.

I'm writing this at a little before 6am on Tuesday-morning and I had about the same 4 hour sleep this night. Now, at around 5am he's finally sleeping, but it's about feeding time again and we're dreading the same routine (eating, burping, fussing and no sleep) will start all over again. The joys of parenthood. 

Fortunately, today Jen and Daniel can go to the 'boobie club' a.k.a. the Aultman Breastfeeding support class at noon, so she'll have some support today. I need to get ready to go to work, but that will be a bit of a challenge having been up since about 2am already. We'll see how long I last today...
