Well, Rob went back to work today. Now it's just Eli and me. He has been doing a little better sleeping at for stretches during the night and going down fairly quickly between feedings. He averages around two, but the other night slept for three hour stretches and it was glorious! Last night was a little rougher for whatever reason. When he would wake up hungry, he would eat and then just stay up. I was getting a little nervous because I was soooo tired I was afraid I'd fall asleep holding him. I guess the redeeming factor is that he has no problem sleeping for three hour stretches during the day, so I can always nap when he naps. We just need to get him to flip his days and nights.
Also, I can't believe how fast he's growing. It literally makes me sad. Last week he had his appointment with the pediatrician on Tuesday, where he weighed 8 lbs 5 oz, and then he had a follow up appointment on Friday where he weighed 8 lbs 15 oz!! Yes, he gained 10 oz in THREE DAYS! Also the sleeper he wore to the doctor on Tuesday was too short for him Friday night. He is growing like a WEED. I also notice he's starting to fill out when some baby fat. No, I am not saying he's fat. He is surprisingly un-fat considering how huge Rob and I were as babies. He's just so long. He will be tall like his daddy.
