First Few Days

Nora's life involves a lot of SLEEP!!

And she is such a cute sleeper!

Nora eats and sleeps on demand, so she doesn't exactly have a set schedule. Her routine the past few days has been:

Sleep for 3 hours at a time, eating for about 30-40 minutes and rocking, and then sometimes she will go right back to sleep and sometimes she's up for a while looking around. When she's up after a feeding we either do some tummy time (her neck is SO strong!) or she swings in her mamaroo.

Usually she passes out right after eating. Picture evidence is below :)

I've been getting around 8 hours of sleep each night which is GREAT! Of course it is not straight since she eats every 2-3 hours, but she goes right back to sleep after MOST feedings and I get the next few hours of straight sleep. The biggest struggle so far has been that at around 2am after her feeding she is usually really gassy and will NOT go to sleep. She screams and screams and can't be soothed. Austin has been waking up the past few nights during this time and taking her to the living room to rock her.

She'll go off and on crying and screaming, while passing gas or having a blow out. Eventually I think she tires herself out and falls asleep. Her crying is never frustrating to me, but so so sad! I hate watching her be in pain :( . It's hard not knowing how to help her, and hard watching her cry.

Other than this time of night she is such a happy and content baby. She's very alert and just goes with the flow. She never cries when we change her diaper or change her clothes, and is so so so so sweet.
