Good to hear your bond is growing stronger with your wife. I can't believe some women go through this on their own (our nurse told us about a single mother she had recently helped after giving birth - plus she had an older one too!).
If it helps not having to get up just roll over and suck each boob a bit to keep the flow going. I wasn't the best dad during the nights as I had to work too. Not only would I not get up but I expected the wife to get the baby before I was actually woken either. My pimp hand was strong though! Now my wife is a nurse and makes more than me and since she works nights I get to do kid taxi. The pimp hand isn't so strong now that it's coupled with a limp wrist!My poor wife is on pumping detail. If she sleeps through the night ducts start getting clogged and pain sets in. She hasn't slept more than 4 hours at once since birth. Wait, I lie, she tried to skip a pump overnight two nights in a row... about a week of pain and low milk flow followed. We are both up every 4 hours at the most. Every day and every night. WOOOOOT.
To my wife's credit she sometimes let me sleep through a feeding. I've probably had 5 stretches of 8 hours of sleep.
Love you guys. Give your little ones a kiss for uncle jig. Can't wait to meet both your little guys. HAHA... they're gonna be fighting for Hannahs hand in about 18 years, lol.![]()
