Well visit today and Maddie is 12 lbs 3 oz and a whopping 24". wow! 97% percentile in height.

this is hard to admit but 7 weeks into her little life and already ive screwed up. big time. will concentrate on fixing my mistakes this coming week. and making a mental note to NOT make the same mistake with baby #2. le sigh.

also, totally realized this week that i was probably able to get more night rest 2 weeks ago! when she stirs at night, i automatically jump up and feed her. no, no, no. let her stir, she will go back to sleep and i can get more rest. i figured this out when i read that at 6 weeks, a newborn can skip the 2am feed. i was like "whaaaat?". so, when i heard her stir for the 2am feed last night, i didnt pick her up. after some annoying grunts, whines and sounds, she fell asleep again.....i said a quick hallelujah in my mind and closed my eyes to go back to bed.....until daddy for some unknown reason decided to cough MAD loud in his sleep, in which she woke up startled and crying. le sigh x 2.
