Sleep when the baby sleeps?

We are now getting close to Wyatt's 2 week birthday! Time is flying by. I feel like my own days and nights are getting confused. I'm constantly up at night feeding, changing diapers, ect. This is Wyatt's day time. By 6 am I am exhausted, Wyatt is handed to Levi and for some crazy reason just falls asleep until 9 when of course, he eats again. How on earth Levi has the gift of making him sleep during his time I have no idea! Sometimes I feel like the moment I get within 2 feet of Wyatt, he realizes that he is hungry! We as crazy parents thought we had him on a schedule the first week because he was waking up every 3 hours to eat. Now his appetite has increased and he is waking up a lot more! During the day only 3 hours still. But at night, it is like every hour and a half! Passifiers do not satisfy this boy at night and neither does any amount of cuddling with mom. It is milk or let me throw a fit! So, I am now the dairy cow in this house and it is crazy how exhausting it can be! The problem is, the moment I scream for my independence and let little Wyatt know that his mama is not meant to be "this type of mother" that I am meant to live overseas and change the world, he looks into my eyes and suddenly I am reminded that this little man is my world. That I would lay it all down for him. That my life is different forever and that is not such a bad thing.
