Doctor Check Up


Good news, we are gaining weight, well I should say Will is, hopefully I am loosing some slowly. I don't know how he couldn't be gaining with all the milk going through him causing lots of poopy and wet diapers. He just weighed in at 5 lb 13 oz at the doctors office, so in the last 2 days he has gained 2.5 oz. She said he looked good (slight jaundice, but not bad) and we go back on the 27th for the 2 week check up.

Last night was much better for sleeping as he went 3 hours between feedings, I actually woke him up for all of them. Which gave me at least 3 solid sections of 2 hours sleep. So feeling pretty good today. I would say we are slowly figuring out what he likes (swaddling, sleeping on side in wedge, rocking on your lap on his side, laying on Daddy's chest, white noise) and what he doesn't (taking his clothes off, the sun or a bright light in his eyes).

Hope everyone is having a good day!

Nice job! Keep up the good work! I love your comment about getting a two hour solid block of sleep and making it sound like a good thing =) It could be worse and its going to get lots better!
