I dont know how you could ever really prepare for this. It hasn't been too bad, I guess, but getting up every 2-3 hours can get tiring. So Caitlin and I kind of have a way to help with it. Easton usually feeds 3 times a night, so every other night or two I will get up with him and feed him pumped milk so that Caitlin can get some rest. Other nights I will change him and Caitlin will feed him so its a shared duty. Then every 2 or 3 nights Caitlin will do all the work so I can get some rest. I must say though, as much as we try to share the work load, Caitlin gets the grunt of it. And I havent heard a complaint yet. She is awesome.
Sometimes the nights can be fun though. I got up to feed him one night and usually he just goes right back to sleep. But this night he finished eating and was wiiiiiiiiiiide awake. So I turned on a movie and Easton and I just chilled out together while he eventually fell asleep an hour and a half later, then it was off to bed again. Its funny how it can be fun to sit with a baby that really doesnt do anything at all, he just sits there.
So here are a bunch more pictures for everyone to see.
Can you believe she had a baby about 10 days ago? She looks good!
I love this one. Its so sweet.
Now this is a kid who knows how to kick back and relax.
GO UTES!!!!!!!!!!

Why would you put such a sweet baby on such a horrible blanket? He is so adorable. I'm sure he looks very Terry-ish to you Zach, but Easton looks like a Day to me! Cutest one yet!
