They Say to Sleep When the Baby Sleeps...

I don't think this is what they had in mind, but desperate and tired mommies do what they have to to get a little nap.

In reality I had laid down to try to nap and Patrick had to go back to work and so he handed Wiles to me to calm and somehow shushing alone worked... and we fell asleep together.

As much as I want to do co-sleeping, I'm hesitant to because I don't want to risk suffocating him. I've napped with him several times but generally not with him on me but beside me and I have a set-up to where I can't roll over on him (although my body seems to know when he's nearby and I don't move at all, anyway).

Still, I'm not letting myself get super upset when I do nap with him or fall asleep with him on me because I haven't moved and he desperately wants to be held at all times if he can... and since he's a newborn we're catering to his need to be held for at least the first three months.

On another note; Wiles is three weeks old today! Happy birthday, little man!
We wanted to get a photo for my aunt of Wiley in one of the onesies she gave him. We used this awesome red panda stuffed animal another friend gave us... 'cause trying to use Lupe to help support him did not work at all.
That perfect little face!
He looks like he's trying to pick the red panda up, haha.
Wiles with his sister, Lupe... she looks like an awkward Chewbacca.
And this was when mommy gave up trying to use Lupe as support for cute baby-dog photos and decided to switch to the panda doll, haha.
