Marli is a champ. She weighed in at 9lbs 13 ounces on the 18th. And I had been worried she wasnt getting enough when she was getting fussy after nursing for like 10 minutes. Looks like I was wrong. She was 21 inches long and her head was 15 1/2. Definitely good stuff. We go back at 2 months. She still is sleeping about 3 1/2 with an occasional 4 hour block then the rest are 3 hours.
I cant wait until she is more consistent with the 4+ hours. I really cant complain but I am longing for a full nights sleep considering it started a month or two before she was due that I wasnt sleeping through the night.
We also tried a bottle on Friday night. I got a pass to shop early at a consignment sale. I decided to pump right before I left so that way I could leave Marli with Jacob. Of course when I called at 8:30 she was screaming. He said she would only take a sip or two and then was done with it. Looks like we need to keep practicing.
One thing I am amazed with is babies this little really do have a sort of schedule. I like to refer to it as a rhythm. It isnt perfect but it definitely helps with planning on when we can leave or when I can get a shower in kid free. :)
