3 weeks old... 3 weeks tired

My little boy is 3 weeks old. Its just so crazy to think that 3 weeks ago tonight, I was sitting in the hospital room thanking God for such an amazing delivery and for a healthy sweet little boy! I got absolutely no sleep that night because I couldn't bare to see or hear him whimper in his little bassinet so I held him all night long.....And 3 weeks later I still haven't gotten any sleep and I still hold him all night long!

Ok thats not true. But I am REALLY tired and I do hold him a good bit during the night. Half because he whimpers when I put him down and I still can't stand that poor little sound (Im working on it), but the other reason is because I love just looking at him when he is zonked out. Troy and I made one cute little kid, and I just can't help but stare at him! ;)

Can I just take a moment to say what an amazing husband I have? You don't wanna hear? Well TOO BAD!  Troy gets up most nights with the baby during his awake time (usually 11-1) and lets me get a few hours of sleep where I can stretch out in the bed and not worry about Cambric. He knows just when I am about to lose my sanity from sleep deprivation and comes in the room and says "Here baby, let me have him for awhile." I sleep and then wake up (actually my boobs wake me up) and go in the living room to see Troy playing video games with Cambric up on his chest. It's sweet! I'm not ecstatic that he is already turning my baby into a gaming nerd, but I love to see them bond! I married me a good one!

Out of ALL the "advice" that I was given during my pregnancy, hearing "sleep now cause you will never sleep again" was the one I hated the worse. Probably because I heard it the most. Well now that I am not pregnant my advice to soon to be new moms would be... SLEEP NOW CAUSE YOU WILL NEVER SLEEP AGAIN! ;) No seriously I really did hate hearing that and I promise to try not to be one of those moms hat gives unwanted advice or comments because I know how overwhelming it can be and I know your hearing it from 100 other people. I would LOVE for people to ask me about things but I promise I will try to (I said try) not to annoy any of you soon to be mom's with my thoughts and advice. Because in the end it doesn't matter if you hear it from every single mom in the world, it means nothing till you have experienced it for yourself.

So I have a major pooper on my hands...or shall I say squirter! The boy has squirted poop on me so many times now that I just can't keep count. My mom says I must push the magic button when I'm wiping his bobo. I'm so happy I have the magic touch! Wa hoo! That's a sarcastic "wa hoo" if you didn't get that! He likes to pee though when Troy is changing him! Now that is funny too! IT would be more funny if it was poop but I will take him peeing on Troy. :)

Since we are talking about sleep though I'll tell you my story from a few nights ago..... So when he wakes up from sleeping I usually change him first because he doesn't like to be wet or dirty during a feeding. I was extremely sleepy and delirious and was in the middle of changing his diaper. I had good enough sense to hold my hand over his pee pee while wiping the bobo. Too bad I was so tired that when I started feeling something wet on my hand I moved it to see what was wet and therefore pee went everywhere. All on his clothes, all on his bassinet, but worst of all...all on his face. Oh you better believe that woke me up. His poor little mouth was wide open and I just knew it was going to shoot straight into his mouth. But thank the Lord it didn't!!!! Poor little guy! Like I said it was the middle of the night and I was very sleepy and delirious so I will not confirm or deny if I put Cambric back in his pee pee clothes. I mean it wasn't that much on his clothes, mainly just got the bassinet and his face....but like I said I will not confirm or deny if I was a bad sleepy mommy!

Well I hope to update yall more on the happenings of what is going on in the Tuttle household.... Although we are a sleepy home, our home has been filled with a lot of laughter these past 3 weeks! I just hope that soon that laughter will be because Cambric is doing funny stuff, and not because he is peeing and pooping on us! I can only hope!

I just cant "bear" to live without my mommy & daddy!
