I can't believe that Ethan made one week old this morning. He has been such an angel and we cannot stop kissing all over him. He makes the sweetest facial expressions and I'm so in love with him!
Chase still loves helping with "Baby Ethan" and is very interested in his where abouts. However, the transition to being a big brother has not been so easy. Chase's clinginess to me has hit an all new level called Out of Control! He no longer sleeps through the night and screams for me until I lay down with him. He has to be near me. Today's nap isn't going so well either. He is in his room screaming for me as we speak (for about an hour now). It is breaking my heart, but I don't know what to do. I know he knows how to fall asleep on his own, but ever since we brought Ethan home, Chase's sleeping habits are now nonexistent and I end up only getting a couple of hours of sleep a day and I'm starting to lose it.
Please pray that we can settle Chase soon and that he lets other people help take care of him besides me. I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed right now.
Thank you so much to my mom and my sister Jamie (who flew in from Texas for the weekend) and stayed with me overnight since we've been home from the hospital. Tonight is Shane and I's first night solo, which is scary since it took all three of us to get through last night's ordeal! Wish us luck!
