Hallelujah, Luke takes naps!! This may sound weird to those of you who have not met my little boy, but he is NOT a sleeper. When he was born the nurses told me to make sure that I nursed during the first hour because newborns are typically only awake for the first hour after birth. Others told me that newborns are supposed to sleep something like 18 hours a day and that they are pretty much only awake at feedings.....NOT MY CHILD!!
Luke has been awake since he left the womb. He was born at 7:58pm and did not even begin to think about sleeping until 2:30am. My newborn was awake for 6 1/2 hours right off the bat! Once 
we got home he still didn't sleep much and he pretty much continued the trend for the first 6 weeks of his life. We have taken a turn in the road! Luke took his first long nap at 6 weeks old and is now taking a morning and an afternoon nap!! Some days are better than others of course, but we are finally getting a routine!! In general, he still isn't a sleepy kid so we will celebrate any and all naps he takes!!
