The baby was a week late, so I'm going to be a week late.

What we quickly learned to not be delinquent about was feeding. I'm a schedule-orientated person, though not an obsessive one, so this works. I prefer schedules to not involve waking up in the too small hours of the night, but that's better than still being awake during the much larger hours.

It was quite trying to set up. The boy would nurse just fine and then fall asleep either during or not long after. That led us to believe we were doing things okay. Nope, turns out nursing just knocks him out. He was still quite hungry, but couldn't stay awake. Only took a few stressful nights to learn otherwise. He still controls the schedule, but now we know about it and can plan better.

I am curious how things are going to evolve once I return to work. We have similar methods of problem solving, so I'm in no way concerned about things.

Overall, it's definitely been great. I'm looking forward to getting past the eat-sleep-poop stage.
