We may finally have this night thing down! For the past three nights, Britton has done an excellent job of going to sleep. The key for her is consistency. She gets her full-tummy bottle, then time to kick around and move the milk through. Next she nurses to top her off and for comfort. Around 11:00 p.m. she gets swaddled, and swayed in our bedroom with the lights low. Once the vaporizer is set on high, the white noise throws her into sleep. For two of the last three nights she has slept at least six hours in a row. Just let that sink in. At least six hours in a row. We're sticking with what works, and hoping that with adjustments along the way she can continue to sleep well.
We're planning on just hanging out this weekend, as college football has rendered the hub glued to the television all day Saturday. Which is fine by me, as Britton has no real schedule during the day and I feel best staying at home. That way I can walk around sans shirt and feed her at whim. We're hoping to make it to Dillards at some point so the hub can get new shoes and sunglasses for his Vegas trip next weekend. That will be the first time I have to do this parenting thing all by myself, but I'm ready. The hub's parents are visiting that weekend, which will be a help in the errand department. 99.9% of taking care of Britton is dictated by who is providing the boobies, and that's me folks.
Britton has started moving towards two big naps during the day, and now finds the activity mat fun. She is definitely waking up fully now during her active periods, and seems to be eating more. The hub measured her last night, and it looks like she's grown at least two inches since birth. Her two month appointment is October 2nd, so we'll have to wait to see the official measurements of weight and length.
