Two very different babies

I am slowly coming to the realization that Hailey and Emilee are two very different babies.  Blonde with blue eyes and brunette with brown eyes.  Hailey cried a ton and rarely slept.  Emilee sleeps a ton and cries during her witching hours 10pm-2 or 3 a.m. or if shes hungry. Emilee is very calm and I'm gratedul for that.  She doesn't mind living in her swing because she sleeps great in it.  Hailey was and still remains a baby that likes her own space.  She'll cuddle with you but only for short time.  Cosleeping was a miserable fail.  Emilee is the exact opposite.  She wants to be right next to you.  She will side feed great at night and then loves to fall asleep right after that but skin to skin or bodily contact needs to remain unbroken until she's long past REM sleep.  Emilee will sleep 4-6 hours if you keep her right next to you.  This is fun to watch in a way because in the morning if shes still on the bed Joel will cuddle up to her after I've left.  The funny part in all this was that Joel was terrified when Hailey was born to have her anywhere close to him while he was sleeping because he didn't want to roll over on her.  Valid point.  Non-existent point now.

  

A few other things I've noticed.  Emilee would rather sleep than eat.  Hailey loved to eat even though she burped up most of the time and had tummy troubles. Emilee like I said above, loves her sleep.  She will probably be one of those babies that falls asleep in her spaghetti.  Hailey has always been too aware and alert.

When I first had Hailey, I hadn't been married long and life was dramatic and it seemed like adjustment after adjustment.  A new baby was just another adjustment and I was handling it well.  Thankfully I made it through and had lots of help.  With Emilee I was worried that it was going to be the same type of thing.  I didn't know how I was going to handle and care for two little ones as well as take care of the house and Joel.  I know it's only been just under two weeks.  I'm still tired from the lack of sleep, but I'm surviving.  My mom was worried when she left and saddened that she couldn't stay another week and help more.  I think though that by leaving she helped more than she realized.  It was the time when I had to buck up and sink or swim.  Well since I spent most of my pregnancy in the water, I figured I'd swim.  Well, Emilee is starting to stir.  Better take advantage while I have only one awake.
