Seth update

Doesn't it look like Cal's holding a doll??

The boys are watching the movie Cars and, not surprisingly, both sucking their thumbs :)


Seth went in for a weight check this past Monday (10 days old) and was up a half pound from last week!! He's now weighing in at 6lbs 9oz. I was pleasantly surprised. It's hard to tell that he's gained weight since he's SO small.

I realize I'm the mom that others love to hate when it comes to my children's sleep schedule. It's true, I have an almost 4 year old that naps for 3 hours nearly every day, Ben who will try to climb IN his crib to sleep, and now Seth who was the quickest of the 3 to transition and figure out his nights and days. For the past 3 or 4 nights now I've only gotten up once to feed him! I nurse him around 8-9pm and I'm in bed by 9:30pm. I then have to wake up around 1-2am to feed, diaper, feed (the other side), burp and put back to sleep. This process usually takes an hour and then I'm back to bed until wake up sometime between 6-7am. Not bad!! I'm logging in 7-8 hours per night and feeling great! Still worshipping Dr. Marc Weissbluth who wrote the book Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child and who makes my life easier and LOTS of sleep possible for all :)

Our one teeny tiny problem started this Monday and I'm still praying it magically goes away...Seth has started spitting up after nursings. Ugh! Cal did this for his ENTIRE 13 months of nursing and it makes things...well....messy! I was SOOO happy when Ben didn't spit up once EVER and figured I was a first-time mom and just fed Cal too much. Well, the third time around, it's not making sense to me. I'm not over-feeding, he's burping, is it possible to just have a baby that spits up???!?!
