Weight & Height: She weights 11 pounds and is 22 inches long!
Eating: Morgan's appetite has started to change because some days she can't get enough but other days she will go longer periods between bottles and I can't believe she isn't hungry yet. She keeps me on my toes!
Nursing/Bottles:
She likes to nurse in the morning but that is about the only period in the day I can get her to nurse; the rest of the time it's me and the pump! I think in order to get more sleep when I go back to work I am going to start reducing my pumping so I can stop altogether hopefully in the next couple of weeks. I have enough frozen breast milk for almost another month but then its on to all formula. She takes formula at night so I know she will be fine, but it has taken a lot for me to decide to stop breast feeding 3 months short of my goal. But I couldn't have predicted she would not want to breastfeed and so I am doing what is best for us now.
Sleeping (naps): She usually has a morning nap around 9am and then will nap on and off throughout the day.
Sleeping (at night): Morgan's bedtime is 8pm and she usually goes down really well now and will sleep anywhere from 6-7 hours straight. We usually wake up around 2:30/3am to feed her and then try and get her back asleep in her crib. She will always wake up at 5:30/6am and want to come into bed with us and at that point we are both too tired to arguer with her :)
Clothing: She is officially out of her newborn clothes and into her 0-3 month clothes.
