Ok, I have come to realize that I have one long legged gal on my hands. All her 3 mth sleepers are still way too wide but they are almost too short. She is filling them all out length wise and even foot wise. Her 3 month onsies are baggy but the same brand of sleepers are too short. It is no small wonder I felt all those kicks and she punctured my waters. I am sure at her next appointment( in January for her three month check up) she will be off the charts in length. I am bummed out that I bought this little outfit that once washed may only do for a couple of weeks. Oh well, live and learn. Have I mentioned how many people are still commenting on her fingers?! I guess I am so use to them that I really don't see then as long anymore. Her little toe is almost the same length as her big one too...that is a crack up as well.
On to last night....
I upped her formula by an ounce and fed her an hour earlier in hopes to avoid the fussiness that happens until her usual feeding at 10pm. She drank the whole bottle at 9pm and was sleeping by 10:30 and didn't stir until 4am!!! Can you believe it? She ate at 4am and then went to bed until 7:30. I will be trying this again tonight. She is coming to the age that I need to try to up her formula and take away a bottle...as per the books. I am not going to alter things too much but I am keeping notes on what bottle she is less fond of and will try to spread the feedings out accordingly or I may not even bother with that at all if she is happy. Eventually the feeding I would like to get rid of is obviously the 3-4am one. I will take what she gave me last night in a New York minute!! She is so much happier being back on 100% powder so that is what she will remain on. It is easier and less wasteful that is for sure so I am game.
On to being a Mom...
I truly love being her Mom and my heart sometimes flutters and skips a beat I am so overwhelmed with happiness. When she smiles I am done! I love her chubby cheeks and I am sure I am going to wear them out with all the kisses. She is truly the best thing that has ever happened to me and I am totally honored to be given this privilege and will strive to be the best I can be for her. I adore her and cannot imagine how I lived without her.
OK...now that I am crying (Again - must be a Mom thing) I will go feed this little Angel.
