Send him back...

Benjamin decided this morning that he didn't want a brother anymore. The poor little guy... he woke up grumpy and fussy. He just wanted mommy. The bad part was that it was way over time for me to feed Caleb. So I cuddled with Benjamin as long as I could before I just had to nurse Caleb. So Benjamin sat next to me on the couch and he got up and down off the couch etc... Well he decided he wanted mommy all to himself and he tried to push Caleb off my lap. Benjamin has done so well and I can't expect him to just be completely accepting. His little life has been turned upside down. I figured he needed a little change of scenery, so we went to my mom's house for a little while. This allowed me to spend some time with just Benjamin. After a good long nap he was much better and even gave Caleb kisses. 

Now Caleb on the other hand would much rather sleep than eat. This is making feedings last forever! I am having to wake him up during the night to eat and that is after he has slept between 4 and 6 hours. I can't complain, but I feel like I need to wake him to eat. If I don't then I worry that he is going to get dehydrated or something, since I am his only source of any food or liquid. I am also still at the point where I NEED him to eat. Anyway I think he is going to be a good sleeper like Benjamin was. Benjamin started sleeping through the night at 4 weeks, so we will see how Caleb does. He is so precious and I just love him so much. He also has a lot more awake time then Benjamin did... after he eats (when he wants to) he will stay wide awake looking around for a while. 

Things are going well and I am loving being home with my boys! Life feels so much more complete.
