Mom and I took a good nap in the afternoon yesterday, and my kitty brother, Jack, even curled up on the sofa with us. Maybe we'll be friends sooner than I thought!
I was supposed to have a photo shoot yesterday, you know, to jump start my Gerber Baby modeling career. Of course, the weather kept us home, so Mom rescheduled it for tomorrow night. Hopefully things will clear up by then. We also had to reschedule my weight check with the Pediatrician. Doctor's appointments are like Final Exams. We LOVE when they get postponed because it means we have more time to cram! In this case, that means EAT LIKE A GLUTTON to gain more weight! J/K, but Mom does call me her little Hoover. I'm a good, strong, growing boy.
Oh, Good News! Yesterday Dad gave me my first bottle! Mom was able to pump enough milk to get a full feeding, so in the evening Daddy and I had "guy time" while he fed me a bottle. I did great! It doesn't necessarily mean freedom for Mommy yet, but it's a good start.
It looks like today will be another quiet, at home, possibly nap day. Well, definitely a nap for me, but possibly one for Mom. Daddy had to go to work, even in the terrible snow and ice, but maybe we'll try another bottle when he gets home tonight.
From Mommy:
We're not sleeping at any great lengths at night, but we are sleeping. He usually goes 2-2.5 hours between feedings. I guess the next step is to try to stretch that to 3 and then 4. I'm not sure how to do that, but I'm hoping a solution will present itself. It probably has to do with getting him to eat more (which I'm trying to do, but he ends up spitting up), and him just growing. In any case, we sleep well enough that I don't feel like a zombie, so I would call that a small success.
