I WILL SO PAY YOU BACK FOR THIS SOMEDAY!
As we enter Samuel's third week of life, we continue to be amazed, fatigued, excited, worn out, in love, frustrated, amused, etc.....etc.....etc... Little britches doesn't quite know what time is for sleep. One night he sleeps great, the next, well lets just say we are getting quite familiar with late night television!
He is about to get over his fever. He's been a little fussy and fatigued, and has had very little real restful sleep. He hasn't really acted very sick, other than the fever itself. He hasn't really cried a lot, just been generally fussy and uncontented. Tough to know with newborns I guess.
Poor Carrie has born the brunt of this unfortunately. My seizures have been really bad the last few days, with the nights seeming the worse time. I had two bad ones last night, and three more this morning. I think fatigue makes them worse. Carrie has done her best to take up the slack, but she hasn't gotten a lot of sleep in the meantime. I have been trying to get up when I can and tried to help more in the day. She still has had to pull the bulk of the load the last few days. If you think about it, pray for her. I think it is taking a bit of a physical toll. She is so deeply tired right now. With her breast feeding, I can only help for so long. Samuel "The ever-eating one", wants to eat every 1 1/2 -2 hours, which doesn't leave much time for sleep. Of course, I'm not much help with the breast feeding! :-)
Zachary continues to be a big help, though he has managed to avoid diaper duty up till now. His day will come! Here is a good picture of the two of them:

Dear Bro. Micah, We miss you terribly and you are certainly in our thoughts and our prayers. You are a very good bible scholar and you are greatly missed. Hope to see you soon,
Love, Terry & Betty
