Alden is such an amazing baby. I couldn't ask for a better son! He is so content and happy all the time.
Our first night home was a struggle. I was nursing him, but he seemed very cranky. At 1 in the morning our first night, he was miserable. He had drank everything from me and was still starving. We tried giving him a pacifier to help him until more milk came in, but he sucked me dry. At 5 in the morning, Lyndon drove 20 minutes to Wal-Mart (With no sleep) to get him some formula.
After he got his belly full, he was a happy camper and slept for 4 hours.
Last night, he went to bed at 10 PM, was up at 11:30 PM to eat, slept until 1AM, ate, then gave us 3 whole hours. He slept until 4 AM, ate again, and then was up at 6:30 AM.
He is sleeping really well. We have the bassinet by my side of the bed and he is completely content with sleeping in it. We've learned that if we set a rolled up blanket on his back so he is propped up on his side a little, he sleeps better.
Alden is a pretty quiet baby. He cries when he has a dirty diaper, or if he is hungry. Sometimes I will go check on him and he will be wide awake in his bassinet just looking around. We have NO complaints about our little guy.
I love being a mom. It is the best experience in the world. I wouldn't change it for anything.

Aww congrats! He sounds like a wonderful baby :) We've been giving our son formula at one feeding a day, usually before bed because he does the exact same thing where he completely has emptied me and he wants more!
