sethrakJack, for a change, has been sleeping peacefully in the swing. (As a rule, he bitches and sqawks when put in the swing.) Mark's been taking advantage of this to get in some quality Mommy-time.
About ten minutes ago, Mark (who did not sleep a wink during naptime) climbed up on my lap for huggles, glomping me chest to chest and resting his head on my shoulder. I rocked him and told him what a lovable boy he is, and he snuggled up tighter, playing with my hair. In less than five minutes, he started snoring. I just laid him on the couch and draped a blanket on him. He's still snoring blissfully. Makes me feel all fuzzy, watching my boys nap. ^_^
I on the other hand, cannot nap. Not enough room on the couch for me and Mark, and I can't go upstairs and leave the two of them alone together. Ah well. I fell off the caffeine wagon at lunch, so I can get by a while longer without sleep.
Jack hasn't had formula yet. I warmed up 3 oz. of frozen breastmilk after his last feeding, and offered it to him. He seemed to be eagerly drinking most of it, which made me happy. He tends to only nibble bottles. Then I noticed milk dribbling out the corner of his mouth... also typical of him and bottles. Sigh. Then I noticed my elbow felt damp...
He'd been dribbling milk out the side of his mouth, down his cheek, and across a large swathe of his fuzzy little scalp the whole time. ::face-fault:: I had to give his head a good washing with a baby wipe. He was vocal with his displeasure.
I have no idea how much actually got into his tummy. I'm hoping a lot, since he's sleeping so happily in the (now-turned-off) swing.
Next feeding, he's getting four oz. of formul after he nurses. I hope he likes it. He hasn't actually tasted formula yet, although he got some in his feeding tube in the NICU before my milk came in.
