- We've been waking John up to eat every three hours during the day. Our nurses suggested this, so that he can go for up to 5 hours without feedings at night. Well, last night John went for 5 hours without needing to eat! If only he hadn't had 2 dirty diapers during that time...Then in the second half of the night, he slept straight for four hours. Our scheduling is working!
- He's also been staying awake more often during the day, sometimes up to an hour after a couple of his feedings.
- John had a doctor's appointment Wednesday, and he is only 3 ounces down from his birth weight, which is excellent!
- Speaking of weight, I've lost 5 pounds in 2 days, for a total of 17 pounds in 8 days! And my feet, legs and hands are still really swollen, so I'm looking forward to seeing more of the same! Quite a treat after watching the scale going the other way for the last nine months! :)
