What a night! Amelia had a fantastic night, only waking up 2 times to feed. We put her to bed at 10:30 pm, and she woke up at 1:30 and 4:30 am to feed, and then went to sleep well afterwards. It was nice to actually feel rested in the morning, and to have her sleep so well (and on her back!). So, I won't have have to disobey the doctor and put her on her belly to get her to sleep. I just placed a folded blanket in her sleeping wedge to make it extra cozy and she seemed to settle in fine. Joe slept downstairs with me after spending a few nights upstairs in the guest bed so he was prepared for school...but actually, I don't think it would have even mattered, he didn't wake up once!
Amelia weighed 9 pounds, 13 ounces this morning when the home health nurse came. She continues to gain and we hope we can take her off of the high calorie breastmilk and start to breast feed exclusively. It's a pain the have to mix formula into breast milk, pump, and feed her all at the same time. Aunt Becky arrives any minute, and we are excited for her to see Amelia for the first time. She already received her "Bengals" sweatshirt in the mail. Not sure we can wear it too proudly as Mia will always be a Monmouth Scot at heart. ;)
Mia is sleeping better than Parker! You lucky duck!
