Life is Good

I have finally found a few moments! I should be sleeping but it's so hard to fall a sleep once you find your hands free to do other things, like typing on the computer to update people. So here I am quick to blog a few thoughts for the moment.

The last week has been crazy and I am glad that it's almost over. Eli has been really restless and wants to eat ALL the time. Meaning he only takes a 15-20 minute break in between. This includes at night. Any time I would move him he would wake-up and want to eat again. It was ridiculous! I finally called a lactation consultant on Thur. We went in on Friday and found out that the problem is that he inherited my tongue. He was tongue tied. (The cartilage under his tongue goes to the tip and makes it REALLY hard to suck, therefore feed.) Needless to say both of were getting overly tired and not happy about the situation.

Today we went down to Burnsville and had it clipped. It was an in-clinic thing and took a few seconds. Immediately after they clipped it they had me feed him to stop any bleeding and get him use to using it right away. It was heaven! So much better then before. I guess before he was using his gums to feed. Yup.. OUCH!

So life is good and things are looking up. This is first time I have had a few minutes to write anything in the last week and that in itself feels great. I am looking forward to a little more sleep tonight. Maybe only having to get up a couple of times to feed instead of all night. Speaking of feeding all night, you would not imagine some of the random things that are on at night. In some ways I like watching tv and finding good random stuff on at 3am. I just wish someone was up with me sometimes to laugh at things also. However I am looking forward to the day that I get 4 or 5 hours a sleep in a night again.
