Talk about exhaustion!

I gotta say, Aaron and I have never been more tired in our entire lives! OMG! Our lovely little baby girl is on a reverse schedule. Veronica sleeps during the day from about 11- 7pm and wakes up briefly ever so often to feed and then falls right back asleep. As soon as it gets really dark outside, she wakes up and is ready to party allll night long. It kind of reminds me of my sleeping schedule in college, now that I think about it! (Let's get real here...classes were always "optional" whereas partying with Aaron was "mandatory"!).

Anyways, Aaron and I have developed a little schedule to work around our daughter's crazy sleep/wake cycle. Aaron stays up every night til about 2-3am and plays video games and watches movies with Veronica. I always pump (and yes that is a whole other party within itself and I finally understand the word "jugs")so he can feed her while I'm sleeping. I put in my ear plugs and hit the hay anytime between 8:30-9:30pm. I never thought I would be going to bed around 8:30...just a few short weeks ago I would start cooking dinner around 9! Then anywhere between 2-3, Aaron brings the baby into the bedroom and either parks her stroller or her papazon chair (whichever baby girl prefers to nap in that night) next to my side of the bed. As soon as Aaron's head hits the pillow, he is out!! I then sleep with my fingers crossed that our little princess will be taking a long nap and not a cat nap. As soon as she wakes up, I'm up with her, changing her diaper, feeding her and burping her.

So that is basically our nights in a nutshell! Also keep in mind that our eyes are half open the entire time, our conversations consist of grunts and groans, and as far as our appearances go, let's just say that we've had better looking days! :D

And of course, here is a picture of our little angel. She's sleeping here, so you know this picture was probably taken at 1 in the afternoon! :P
