First night without support

If you're catching a slightly sleepy look in his eye, it's no wonder. Last night was our little family's first night without our baby nurse. It went smoothly--without incident. But it was exhausting.

Basically, Alex fed for two hours and slept for two hours in a continuous cycle, throughout the wee hours.

This was an easier exercise when the baby nurse provided some support, but it's not disagreeable to do it ourselves. It's just not something we would choose to do forever.
