Topic: Kai and Eidan
Eidan has an insatiable appetite. He had his first checkup yesterday - his pediatrician didn’t believe Maria at first when she said that he can drink 3-4 oz. per feeding (that’s about 3 times normal). But after weighing him, and seeing that he’s gained 3 oz (most babies lose weight right after being born), she was convinced. So he’s now at 6 lbs, 13 oz, and 21 inches.
He’s finally starting to get the whole day vs. night thing. He slept for a 3 hours stretch last night, which may not sound like much, but it’s a big improvement over the past few nights. Yesterday and so far today he’s spending more time awake during the day, which is nice, because from our perspective it’s a lot more fun to play with him at 3pm than 3am.
I’m getting old. We didn’t sleep much when Kai was born either, but back then I could take it. Now I’m just a zombie. Maria is getting even less sleep than me, but she’s handling it much better. Forget post-partum depression - she’s on some kind of post-partum high that’s kept her energized all week. Hopefully Eidan’s night time sleeping will continue to improve before her buzz wears off.
