Nicholas has been much more alert recently and for longer periods of time. Today he had a particularly large number of these periods while Uncle Brian and Shayna were here, which was good because I had feared that he would spend the entire afternoon eating and asleep. But Nicholas seems to have decided he doesn't need the long afternoon nap he had developed. Or the first cycle of his nighttime sleep. The not going to bed until midnight thing wouldn't be so frustrating if he hadn't had those 3 days in a row where he went to bed at 8 and we were already on the first feeding at midnight. But right now it is 9pm and he is hanging out with Joe completely alert and looking like sleep is the furthest thing from his mind. I really love the alert periods and have so much fun watching him. Now if only we could combine these with some sleep, for all of us.
On a completely different note, since some of you care about me as well as Nicholas, I've been feeling much better the past few days. The nausea isn't completely gone, but it has decreased dramatically in intensity. Now instead of feeling completely ill for 4-5 hours each morning and then mediocre the rest of the day I feel a little gross for like 30 minutes each morning and then fine the rest of the day. And now that I am suddenly able to eat, I have been famished for periods each day. I never thought I'd be so happy to be starving.
And as another random note, there are some new pictures and videos for you to enjoy.
