Week 3

This week Callie is starting to get better with her hands and fingers. The previous two weeks she always seemed surprised to see these wacky appendages flying around her head. Today she managed to pull my glasses off my face, so ya, she's getting good at this hand thing! Unfortunately, her sleep schedule has been a mess this week. Last week was quite nice. She was sleeping for 3, 4 even 5 hour chunks but that seems to be over. We had one night this week when she slept in the co-sleeper, amen! She had been having trouble sleeping flat on her back. She was coughing up breast milk when she was flat on her back. Our doula came over and recommended using the boppy between us. So that's what we had been doing. When she slept on the co-sleeper, we thought "Okay! Hooray! We got this down!" Which of course was our curse. Last night she just wouldn't sleep on her back again or in the co-sleeper. So it was sleep shifts again. She would sleep for a while in her swing so we did 4 hours shifts with her in the living room. Let me just tell you, we have never watched so much television in all of our lives!
Most days she is eating like gangbusters, about every hour and a half, which as you can imagine is quite exhausting. It is a bit hard to tell when she is actually hungry because she has an incredible suck reflex. Our midwife was amazed by her suck when she came to check in on us in the hospital after the birth. All I can say is thank the good lord for pacifiers.
She is definitely getting more active this week. She is looking around a lot more and is holding her head up a good amount.
