Statue

Today I was in the same position for over 3 hours without even adjusting much - basically I was becoming a statue. Why? Well, Baby Nate fell asleep basically on me and I just couldn't move him. He looked so cuddly and content. My butt was getting numb, my back started to ache, but it is all worth it so that he could just sleep soundly. Little Nathaniel tends to get a little cranky when you put him to sleep. I'm pretty sure he is a little Diva (Divo?? whatever the boy form of that may be) and prefers for us to hold him. The nurses in the nursery at the hospital had briefly mentioned this to us when we were there. I remember more than one of them telling us that he likes to be rocked to sleep. If you think about it, it is probably very difficult for him to go cold turkey. He was being rocked, cradled, cuddled 24/7 in the womb and now we expect him to be satisfied without that feeling?? I get it so I am not afraid (nor is Kevin) to spoil our little Divo (especially in this first month before real schedules are learned).

This is him cuddled on me
