Baby Math

Baby math problem for you:

If Sawyer is supposed to eat every 2 hours (from each feeding start time to start time) and eats an average of 30 minutes each time following a 5 minute struggle to get him latched on to eat AND usually needs a diaper change every third feeding which takes around 8 minutes - how many hours can his mommy expect to sleep in a 10 hour period?

Answer: not enough. Exhaustion has set in, starting to wonder if breastfeeding is worth all the sleep loss when bottle feeding would at least mean Josh could trade off with me during the night. Promise to blog when my brain is no longer fried from sleep deprivation. Still loving my little family though, despite what I may call Josh while he is soundly sleeping through feedings.

a few pics of the big guy

Since my internet at home is ridiculous and since Josh and I are back in the hospital with Sawyer because his bilirubin climbed to 25 and he turned a lovely shade of yellow... I am just going to post a few pics from my BBerry and send you over to my second-cousin-in-law Michelle's blog Leisure Pursuits to view some photos of the big guy. Please ignore the giant swollen girl with the oily hair who may resemble me, not quite sure who that could be.

His "man you lookin' shady" look :)

Protecting his face from his own hands,

Chillin' with Daddy.

On his way to his first doctor appointment, which revealed an incredibly high bilirubin level so off to Pitt Memorial Hopsital we went.

Rocking his stunna shades to protect his eyes from the UV lights

Laying in the incubator, surrounded by UV lights and hooked to entirely too many machines & an IV

Okay I promise to blog about his birth and the labor adventures sometime soon, in the meantime please say a prayer that we get his bili down to at least 10 so we can go back home!

he's here!

Sawyer Lang Edmondson arrived Thursday, Feb. 10th at 2:14pm. He weighed 7lbs. and 14 of. and was 19 in. long. Promise to bloc more about how amazing he is and our adventures in the hospital (remember, I wasn't even supposed to have said baby until Feb. 26). Hope to bloc again soon once my brain isn't complete mush and I can pry myself away from our little miracle (who, by the way, has auburn hair like his mommy's).
Can't attach photos from my BBerry for some reason, so I am going to try and get Josh's lovely photog cousin Michelle to post some for me :)
