Sweet Sleep

I have not been exhausted at all since Benjamin has been born and I think it is just God's grace. I feel like I get a lot of sleep for having a newborn. I stay up for the feeding between 10 and 12 and then I only have to get up one time during the night to feed him. The last two nights Brad took the 3:00 am feeding so that I could sleep through the night. I slept so sound that I never heard Brad bring Benjamin back into our room and I slept through any noise or sound he made. Brad had to wake me up at 8am this morning because Benjamin was starting to cry because he was hungry. So I got some incredible sleep for sure. Benjamin had his first bottle two days ago (breast milk bottle) and I felt so guilty because it made me feel like I was neglecting him by not nursing him. He did well with it though which is good because he is going to have to be used to a bottle for when I go back to school and my mom or whoever takes care of him during the day. He has been sleeping 4 to 41/2 hour stretches at night which I can't complain about. Last night after Brad fed him he just stayed awake until his next feeding so Brad was pretty tired because Benjamin wouldn't sleep. Everything is really going well though. Tonight we are going to decorate our christmas tree and get that all done. I am excited about it being Benjamin's first christmas, even though he could care less about it. I will say he loves to lay on our lap on the couch and look at the christmas lights. Anyway here are two pictures one of him taking a bottle from his daddy and the other of him in his swing that his aunt Carley and soon to be uncle Caleb sent him.
