Yes, I am alive, but tired

Max eats every three hours, and since we have to monitor closely how much he eats, I have to use a pump to get breast milk, measure it and then add formula to it then feed him. The whole process takes anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour and 15, so I am sleeping less than two hours at a time. So overall I am getting little to no sleep. I read somewhere that sometimes new mothers hallucinate due to lack of sleep. Now, I don't know if it was a full blown hallucination, but yesterday I could have sworn there was a wreck out front of the house. Tim was right there with me and thought I was being paranoid, but no, it was just lack of sleep. So why am I writing instead of sleeping? Because I miss you guys.

We miss you to. I just read a q and a in a magazine and the lady said she has a new baby at home and sometimes falls asleep mid-sentence!
