DAY 6: Successful parenting (2.28.10)

Now with our confidence boosted by my gaining ability to satisfy Zac’s hunger. We had an excellent day of just getting into a routine. Zac was finally beginning to fall into a pattern (unreliable, but pattern-like none the less). We even had a visit from my mom’s brother and his wife (they live here in Germany too.) So Zac got his first visit from extended family with Great Uncle Bud and Aunt Anne. An excellent day was followed by a stellar night. Now it wasn’t as smooth sailing as his very first night. But now we had a game plan. We had come up with some soothing strategies that were working for us. So Stephen and I tag teamed the kid and worked together to try to balance sleeplessness and baby care.
