Four weeks and counting

So it's been four weeks since Shawn Jr. has come home from the hospital. It's been an emotional, trying, and tiresome four weeks. With Shawn Jr. sleeping all day and staying up all night it has been very hard for Shawn and I to get any sleep. You know what they say about you needing to sleep when your baby sleeps. Well, that's a bit impossible when you have two girls who also demand all your attention. As for Aliyah and Kailee, they seem to love having a baby brother. They try their hardest to help me out and it's really cute how they mimic me. They'll try to give him his bottle, put a blanket on him, kiss him, pat him, and cuddle next to him. They will also do the same with their baby dolls. I'm very blessed to have a husband who is so willing to help out with the kids. Shawn has had to work late the last couple of weeks and it's been tough on him. Waking up to the crying and helping out with early a.m. feeding and then having to go to work with such little sleep. He's been a lifesaver. I'm looking forward to having our little guy sleep through the night but I'm afraid that it won't be for awhile.
