What a great night last night - we were like clock work. Food, few minutes to get to sleep, pump, 2.5 hours of sleep. We can sure live with that cycle. Your mom doesn't even feel exhausted today. This morning, it was our first morning together when dad went back to work. It went really smooth! If everyday was this easy, we will sail thru these next 6 weeks by ourselves!
Your dr gave you a clean bill of health today. You have gained a few more ounces, grew almost 2" and everything looked good. We are cleared for another week - she wants to make sure you gain more weight over the next week and our feeding is going good. Our goal for the week is to get our feeding habits worked out. You have been doing about 25% formula but if your mom can't amp up her production, that number is going to continue to increase. So, we have to work hard this week to get you 100% on breast milk. It will be hard work for both of us!
You did get some bad news at the doctor but you don't know it yet. The dr. said that we need to break you of your sleeping habits immediately! She said that if we continue to let you sleep with us, you will be "hooked" and we will never get you out of our bed. I predict a rough couple of nights ahead.
Here is your photo for today and I leave you with a couple of scrapbook pages I have done recently. Your 2009 pages are wrapped up!!
Great story today, good luck breaking the sleeping habit, Ireally do wish you the best of luck with that, and I always new that you and Mark would make the best parents a kid could ever have, great job and keep up the great work,
