6 Week Growth Spurt


Well, she's at it again. Her second growth spurt started! She's 5 weeks 6 days today and it's supposed to hit between 4-6 weeks. Here is her sleeping last night:






It was hard waking up so much last night, but it makes it a lot easier watching a show. Right now I'm watching Parenthood. I have my laptop set up next to the rocker and I continue watching an episode each time she feeds. She usually eats for about 30 minutes, so I get most of the way through one. I had been trying to just stay awake while feeding for the first week she was home and that was TOOO hard. This gives me something to keep me awake. It also helps me not rush her. When I have nothing to do and she pulls off I would tend to then put her back to sleep. But now I latch her back on each time until I can tell she is completely full.


Her new pajamas! :)

Watching High School Musical while she eats :)

Poor baby sleeping on me. She would wake up crying from her constipation and then fall back asleep.


Symptoms of growth spurts include:

Not really sleeping during the day
Only sleeping for an hour between feedings at night
Wanting to sleep ON me
Screaming in pain
Crying a lot :(
Constipation....

She had a blowout last night after not having a bowel movement in 36 hours, poor baby. She had been grunting and pushing all day to no avail :( She passed a ton of gas.

She had another blowout this morning at church.


But she's still a little cutie!!!
