no, the baby doesn't really sleep all that much. Except at night, but then so do I. He's going through his 2 week growth spurt right now, which apparently involves eating a lot more and being generally unhappy, but should only last a couple of days. I haven't updated earlier because for one, I have very little going on that doesn't involve the baby, and he really isn't very exciting to anyone but us, he's adorable but just eats, sleeps, and dirties diapers. He's getting to have more awake / alert time now, which is fun, but isn't generally up for much beyond cuddling and being walked around. Also, this taking care of an infant thing is quite time-consuming. It's very much moment-to-moment, like, ok, what does the baby need now? Food? ok. Ok, what does the baby need now? New diaper, check. Now? More food? Ok. We're starting to get into more of a routine, he's starting to go a bit longer between eating times, so all is pretty well.
Like I said, nothing else going on. Haven't seen any good movies lately, have been watching tv and staying up until about 11-12 at night because that's when the baby gets up to eat his bedtime snack meal, so I might as well stay up as be woken up shortly after going to bed myself. The cats are dealing with the interruption to their lives pretty well, they entertain themselves most of the time, and one of us is always available to pet them, so they're fine. They haven't quite figured out what this new little alien creature is, but don't seem to care too much either way.
My dear fiancé is going to do the bedtime snack feeding, so I'm going to go to bed myself.
