Flashback Friday: Newborn baby 3 AM

I took this photo with my cell phone at 3am when little baby Laureli was about a week old….

{Ruari: 1 week old}

Mike was seriously passed out (kneeling on the ground, halfway on the bed), Angus was nice and cozy, and my new baby was taking forever to eat. I MUST say I’m glad to be done with the newborn stage!

Hahah, its so funny how our husband can pass out in just about any position, in any location, right? I could never fall asleep like that.

That picture is priceless! Everyone, except for Mom is clean passed out. I don't think any new Dad could look more wiped. Love it!

Hahahaha! If that doesnt epitomize what the newborn stage is like, I don't know what else would!

Love your blog (came over from Allie) – went through your whole blog and learned so much – I´ll be an Auntie to a girl soon and the only Baby I had in my arms so far is the Father-to-be (dear Bro), so I have no idea what happens when. Well, I do now! 🙂 Thanks! Also for the product-tipps – the Silicone Toddler Spoon sure will be it – and Bumbo maybe, too! (well, if the parents-to-be want one – I think Bumbo is unknown here).Sweet pics. Look forward to learn more (and not look so stupid with Baby-related things anymore – the feeding with finger is a good one, too!).

Sometimes I actually miss the newborn, but I will admit it's more fun as they get older, once they have a personality, and once they start to get an attitude. 🙂

How sweet. Dontcha love all the sleep you lose when they're little….though the little girl of a good friend of ours got into a nice sleep pattern pretty early on. Heheh. Wouldn't that just be jolly? LOL

Love the pic! It perfectly illustrates that newborn stage! I'm soooo not ready to be back there again (Allison is 8 months) but sometimes I really do miss it.

ditto to everyone on the official closure of the 24/7 diner that our little guy rallied hard to keep open. I am so glad that is OVER… ! my thoughts on the whole sleep deprivation period are similar to my thoughts on pushing a baby out of my body (twice!) … how did I/my body do that?? seriously!… and live to tell about it??? while smiling fondly at the two kiddos that both about did me in – ah, the miracles of motherhood…
