Sleep: Ugh. Brooklyn takes 4-5 cat naps a day about 45-50 minutes each then bed time I start at 7:30..and she usually goes to sleep by 8:30/9 nursing to sleep. She is up 1-2x's a night. Mama can't wait to sleep train ;) I am currently working on getting her to sleep in her crib at night. It's hard because I also don't want her waking up Jackson! I tried letting her self soothe a bit and it totally woke up Jackson, "MOMMY BOOKLYN CRYING!!!!!!" and the rest of the day was full of cranky babies. But I did by night lights for the hallways and stairs so I don't kill myself in the middle of the night..progress :) I also take it that I'm REALLY tired and getting frustrated as a sign that it may be time to sleep train. More progress?? Eating: Exclusively breastfed. YAY. She just decreased from 10 feeds to 8 a day. Holy moly batman that's a lot!! I'm looking forward to solids and maybe decreasing a feed or two?? I don't mind breastfeeding it's the pumping!! Yuck. I was loosing about 4 oz a week (from pumping at work) but when I calculated it, my stash could survive for 8 more months. Whew. However, back to my theory of calories = milk pumped (I ate chick fila one day and pumped an entire extra bottle) I've been breaking even. Chick fila everyday?!
Clothes: 9 months
Visitors: She had lots of visitors for her Baptism last week!
Crying: Really only if she's hungry or being put in her crib! She has started the if I can't see mama cry. She is seriously one ridiculously happy baby. LOVE IT!
Milestones: Sitting up by herself for brief periods 10-30 seconds!! Blowing more raspberries and making more sounds.
Medical: The hemangioma is still there nothing new to report. Cardiology loves Brooklyn because she is a chunky monkey and breastfed- apparently that's rare for cardiac babies! We see ENT this week.
Postpartum: 1 pound left but since I'm nursing I would say I've lost all my weight… maybe a month sooner than a did with Jackson so not much difference. I've started really trying to workout more- Pure Barre at 5:20 am ekkks!! I swear I don't know what sleep is anymore. Seriously tired. Do you know how impossible it is to nap with two children? Their naps have not overlapped in weeks. I'm constantly moving. Did I mention we are potty training Jackson? I need a vacation! A sleep vacation. With cocktails lots of cocktails but no pumping. I can dream can't I?!
