Yes, I am still alive. Just tired a lot. and busy. Newborns might sleep a lot, but they sure are demanding when they aren't sleeping. At least mine is. And when she is sleeping, I tell myself "ok, I am going to do a, b, and C." But by the time I get done with A, I am exhausted and just want to sit on the couch again. I went to bed the other night 11 hours before my alarm went off the next morning (I had an appointment, so needed the alarm) and I still woke up exhausted, because she was up twice in the night. She sleeps pretty well though. I usually get a 6 hour stretch out of her- unfortunately it is from 8pm to 2am. I can't really go to bed at 8. That's a little early even for me. So by the time I do get in bed, I only get a 4 hour stretch or so uninterrupted. That's life though I guess.
