...turns out that 7 hours of sleep was just a one off. She is back to her old tricks again, just 3 or 4 hours per night. As I have previously mentioned her motto is still "sleep is for the weak" I am getting a sign made for our front door.
The midwife, Linda, suggested that when she wakes up after her 3 hours' sleep, which is usually 12am-3am, we should feed her then put her to sleep in her own room. That way when she wakes up again, she can do 'what she does best' in the privacy of her own room and we can sleep right through until she is hungry. (What she does best is poopin' and she spends a long time building up to the big crescendo. ) And so we will try it and see how things go .
Anyways, she is 9 pounds and 15 OZ as of Thursday's appointment . Gaining a half an oz per day which is average. So that means sometime this weekend she should hit the 10 pound mark. We finally had to pack away her preemie clothes that she has been wearing since Day 1. She is now onto the Newborn size outfits ( 0-3 months are mostly too large still) The photo above is taken at the midwife's office.
