To sleep or not to sleep

Maddy did great last night. She slept most of the night in between feedings. Mom and dad both got more sleep last night than in the combined nights since her birth. Daddy did find himself trying to do stuff at night instead of sleeping. That quickly changed after the surge of tiredness hit.

We are trying to get her use to the difference between day or night. We are also reading a great book call "The 90 minute sleep program" that we got from our dear friend and new parent Amy Rossi. It talks about the amount of sleep babies need, why and how to find the signs that your baby is tired because they don't really know when they need to sleep.

We weighed her today and she is down to 7 lbs. We are kind of concerned but I hope that just means she finally pooped out all the black tar. The new poop is much easier to clean up. She has her first doctors appt tomorrow, so we will see how she is doing and if there is any thing wrong.

We haven't really taken many pictures lately, I have a couple videos I will post later.

  1. Glad the book is helpful - the things in it STILL apply to Ethan even now. I hope you are finding the other one helpful too. She is so beautiful, we can't wait to meet her when we are in ATL in Sept. Call ANYTIME if you need help or advice.

    Love you guys,

    Amy, James and Ethan
