Sporadic updates for a while..

Everything is going great with Alexandra and I will be posting more pictures as I take them. For a little while now updates may be sparse. I'm working third shift and trying to manage a few hours of sleep each day before or after work when I can. This odd schedule and not wanting to type loudly at night makes it difficult to post here. I could say I'll update it each day, but then I'd miss tomorrow and look like a liar. :) One thing I can say is that we're not following conventional wisdom to the letter as far as the baby goes. I know I risk getting negative comments, but Alex sleeps in our bed a lot. In fact, far more than I do. It's hard to explain, but we have a huge bed and she gets plenty of space. I only get 2-4 hours of sleep each night on average, but neither Deb nor I toss or turn in our sleep so Alex is safe. She sleeps on her back very peacefully. At first she refused to sleep in the crib, but she does that now too. With Deb breastfeeding every couple of hours it's easier for them to sleep beside one another. Sometimes you do what works instead of what you're expected to do. :) Until next time.. --------
