Suddenly, sleep deprivation

Nathaniel had been doing an unbelievable job of sleeping regularly. Amanda and I almost felt embarassed when people would ask if we were getting much sleep, and we'd tell them we weren't having any problems at all. It felt like we were letting people down when we told them Nathaniel would fall asleep around 8:30 p.m., and sleep until 6:30 a.m.

Well, he's decided that won't do. For the past two days, he's decided he wants to be fed around 4 a.m. That's a tad early ... and I hope it doesn't become a pattern. Especially considering I'll be headed back to work next week, so neither Amanda nor I will have the luxury of sleeping later in the day to make up for his early-morning feeding.

We'll see how this goes.

Diaper update
We've moved back to Pampers Swaddlers. After trying regular Luvs, Huggies Supreme and Pampers Swaddlers, Amanda and I are 100 percent behind using Pampers for Nathaniel. They might be more expensive, but we've almost never had any leakage, and they appear more comfortable because of the stretchiness of the straps used to tape the whole thing together.
