Ups and Downs
Life in the Hoffman Household has been filled with many ups and downs lately. Visits from both of our Moms (yay!), negative progress on the nursing front (boo!), lots of fun sister/brother moments (yay!), two very exhausted parents getting very little sleep between the nursing (attempts), bottle feeding, and pumping (boo). My selfless husband decided for the sake of my mental health and sanity I needed a good night's sleep. Monday he sent me to sleep with Natalie, ordered me to turn on the fan for white noise and sleep as long as I could while he took the night shift solo with Sammy. I skipped pumping just this once and got an uninterrupted seven hours of glorious sleep - more than I've had in one stretch since July! It was the best gift I've received E.V.E.R. Ben is pretty much a superhero as far as I'm concerned.

I'm so glad to hear that you finally got a good chunk of sleep. I can't even fathom being that sleep deprived for so long!
I'm so sorry that nursing isn't going well. What a bummer! I'll be praying for you guys!
