Small victories

I feel like a new mom this morning. Robert slept in a 3 hour chunk followed by several 2 hour chunks where he would wake up, eat, get changed and go right back to sleep last night. Adele slept until 8:15 - yay!

We're bottle feeding expressed breastmilk and he's currently sleeping in his car seat because he has a little reflux and I think we're all happier.

Yay for sleep! I still do a cheer when Lauren has a three hour stretch (she's not a great sleeper unfortunately...)

Sleep, baby, sleep!

Glad things are going well! How is Adele adjusting?

The good news is it will hopefully get better in a few weeks. I remember how hard that first month was with only one.

It's the little victories that count

Adele is doing...ok. She definitely has some jealousy issues so I'm trying to spend more time with her when I can, she figured out how to turn the pages on the books yesterday so I can read to her and she can turn the pages if my hands are full. I think that will help, books are her life! She also tries to help but is a little rough, today she tried to give Robert his bottle. He usually ends up crying when she tries to "help." I think its getting better though, at least I hope so

It sounds like once she gets the hang of it, Adele is going to be a fantastic big sis! Yeay for the sleep!

Cheri..we're living in the land of sleep deprivation here, too. Glad that you got a good night. I don't know if I posted this before or not, but when DS was born, DD had everything doll sized set up right next to what I had for DS (a doll swing next to baby swing, doll crib next to real crib, etc). When I was doing anything with DS that she couldn't help with, I would have her do the same for her baby doll. It worked really well and helped curb some of the jealousy, I think. Hang in there - the sibling stuff is tough!

ohhh - good idea Deb! I'll have to remember that!


Yay for sleep Cheri! Nothing wrong with sleeping in a carseat. 8 )

I wouldn't call 3 hours a small victory. It's HUGE!!!

Yay for Adele and page-turning. It must be very cute!
