Will I ever sleep again?

My cute baby is 1 week old today and both Kimball and I are very sleep deprived. I didn't realize such a cute little thing can be so exhausting!! I really don't have much to complain about because I do feel so good...
My water broke last Thursday at 5:00 a.m. and I had Dieter at 10:40 p.m. So that makes about 18 hours of labor and I did not have an epidural. It was hard work, but I quickly forgot all about the labor when I held Dieter in my arms. Kimball has a much better memory of the birth than I do, (probably a good thing). Anyway, we are all doing very well and I can't help but post some adorable pictures of my boy...

How precious is he!!!! You will sleep one day i promise, it is all worth it, pretty soon he will be sleeping through the night and you will forget all about the hard times right now!! for now though enjoy every moment including: Breastfeeding(which totally sucks with your first baby and is so easy with your second). All the blowouts, spitups and sleepless nights. Love ya shay good luck with Dieter!!!!

How fun! Don't worry, these days will soon pass, and they will only be a vague memory, like your labor :)

Shay he is darling! You are one brave woman I'm terrified of labor, but realize if I want to be able to breath again I'm gonna have to go through it if I like it or not. I think he looks a lot like you. Congratulations!
