motherhood.

I am a midnight milk machine. It's an odd role. Every 2 hours. I'm living on sleep in 2 hour chunks totalling 4-6 hours a night. It's kind of a mess. I want to thank everyone for their emails, calls, and congratulations, but I don't have 2 minutes to shower, much less get back to folks. I hope I can do that this week.

Elliot is doing great. There was a little scare when he didn't learn to latch and was basically not eating, but one visit from a lactation consultant and things were back on track. After losing a pound between birth and day 5, he gained 2 oz back the next day. So after some tough days, things have turned around. He's happier now too. Makes sense.
