1. Ellie started her 3 week growth spurt on Thursday night and it lasted a few days.....oh the horror....the horror....
1a. giving us 45 minutes here and there to sleep throughout the whole night, definitely not enough for a REM cycle!
1b. feeding for 3 hours at a time, just switching from side to side. Ouch.
2. Ellie decided to use J's hand as a diaper and lovingly gave him a pee AND a poop.
However, there have been another milestone like the cooing noises! When she's alert (and fed and her diaper has been changed), we put her on the Baby Einstein and she makes such cute little noises like 'goo!' or 'gaa!' or 'blah!'....and she's never upset, she's just verbalizing. It's awesome to hear.
So along with the her sleep deprivation torture techniques, there are many other things that make up for it. Unfortunately, J's birthday was right in the middle of one torturous time, but the next moment she was making eye contact with him and yelling 'a goo!', so that obviously meant "I'm sorry that I'm not letting you get any sleep, and I'm sorry I keep pooping in your hands, but I really do love you and appreciate all the hard work that is going into keeping me happy".
Happy Birthday, J!
She was just doing her part to give Daddy a present :) Thanks for sharing Helen, can't wait to meet her!
