Greenlee is 7 weeks old today-- I can't believe it! Time sure flies when you're having fun-- or sleep deprived...either way. At her 1 month check-up Greenlee weighed 9lbs 1oz, and last Thursday at her appointment with the endocrinologist she weighed 10lbs 8oz...whoa chubba wubba!

She is doing great with Babywise and we have her on a pretty tight eat,wake,sleep schedule. Nights have progressively been getting better as well. She is averaging anywhere from 4.5 to 6 hours of uninterrupted sleep at night-- typically only waking once to eat. For example, she usually falls asleep around 9pm, then I wake her up at 10:30pm to feed her and she goes right back to sleep until 4 or 5am, then she eats, and goes back down until 8 or 8:30am when we start our day. This has been incredible for Josiah and I...it's nice to have some sleep again! We weren't really seeing any nighttime improvement until I started exclusively pumping all of my milk. We realized Greenlee wasn't sleeping like she should be because she wasn't getting enough milk through nursing...so now we know exactly how much milk she gets when we give her a bottle and she has done SO much better at night.

I started my job yesterday and Josiah is wrapping up his semester of school-- so things are a little hectic around our house. Only 1 more semester until Josiah graduates...yay! We're so excited!

Here are some recent pictures...Enjoy!

I know it's been a while since I've updated the blog, but I've been a little distracted to say the least. Greenlee has been requiring every last bit of my time and energy! She is now 4 weeks old and growing like a weed-- she weighs around 8 pounds now I think. I go back to work next week so we have really been cracking the whip on her-- trying to get a day/night routine down. The first few weeks were absolutely horrible as far as the nights went. But, last week we started strictly enforcing the principles of Babywise and we have seen a huge difference in Greenlee's nighttime sleep schedule. We also introduced the crib to her last week and it's been going awesome so far. Strangely enough, she does better sleeping in it at night so far. I've posted some pictures of Greenlee since birth...in no particular order. Enjoy!
