5. How long does she typically sleep? How long is she usually awake? Sleep depends on the time of day, she did sleep 6 hours last night. usually awake for a couple hours in the morning and evening.
6. Where does she land on the fussy vs angel scale? She is a very good baby so far! I mean she has her fussy time, but after having Miles that had colic, Tara is so easy. (knock on wood that this continues)

ETA: forgot pic
1. How old is LO? She is 8 days old today!
2. Was he early, late, or right on time? She was 4 days early because the doctor recommended me to be induced.
3. Weight/height? She was tiny at 5lbs 9 oz and 18.5 inches long.
4. How much and how often does he eat? How long does it take to feed him? Every two hours during the day and every three or more at night is her routine. She eats anywhere between 5 and 13 minutes, longer at night and shorter during the day.
5. How long does she typically sleep? How long is she usually awake? She can easily sleep 4 hours at a time at night, but most of the time it's about 2 hours at a time. When she wants to play she is usually awake for about 1.5 hours: Enough for another feeding before she sleeps again.
6. Where does she land on the fussy vs angel scale? She's 100% angel so far!
7. Favorite thing about him? Her eyes! They're so full of life. It makes me smile to see them (especially paired with a funny facial BLOCKED EXPRESSION
1. 5 1/2 weeks
2. Three weeks early
3. 7lb 6oz, 20 in
4. About 4oz every 3 hours
5. Not long! Maaaybe 2 hours at a time. Awake for 1-3 hours at a time depending on fussiness.
6. He's a cutie, but he hardly sleeps and he's had a lot of tummy troubles. Poor guy is super fussy. We just switched formulas so hopefully he feels better soon!
7. I love when I'm holding him against my chest and he starts nuzzling into my neck. He's so warm and smells so good!
1. How old is LO? 6 days old
2. Was he early, late, or right on time? 2 days late
3. Weight/height? 8 lbs 6.1 oz
4. How much and how often does he eat? How long does it take to feed him? I have no idea how much she eats, as she breastfeeds. She goes anywhere from 2-4 hours between feedings. Sometimes she only wants to eat for 15 minutes, other times she wants to eat for almost an hour.
5. How long does she typically sleep? How long is she usually awake? She is still a sleepy girl- She sleeps most of the time. Her longest stretch she will sleep is about 4 hours. Can't complain about that!
6. Where does she land on the fussy vs angel scale? angel, but I think I'm a bit biased! At this stage in the game there is no crying unless she's hungry or needs to be changed.. but I'm sure that can change as time goes on.
7. Favorite thing about him? Everything. Insert every cliched statement here about how it was so worth it- because it sure was.
1. How old is LO? 1 week 6 days
2. Was he early, late, or right on time? He was a week late...and still in trouble about that.
3. Weight/height? 7lb13oz
4. How much and how often does he eat? How long does it take to feed him? He eats anywhere between every 1.5-3 hours during the day and every 3-4 hours at night (though last night I gave him a tight swaddle and he went 5 hours) It takes about 30 minutes to feed him. I'm trying to get him down to just 10 min on each side, but he has a strong sucking need and refuses pacis (yay me!
)
5. How long does she typically sleep? How long is she usually awake? He seems to sleep constantly, and when he's awake he's either eating or fussy that he's not eating.
6. Where does she land on the fussy vs angel scale? Well, he's fussier at this age than his brother was, which scares the bejeezus out of me because his brother was terribly colicky from 4 weeks-4 months. Hopefully Luke gets his fussies out early or else there are no.more.babies.
7. Favorite thing about him? His little piglet sounds, how tiny and snuggly he is, how easy it was to start nursing him. He's pretty much precious.
A possibility was born the day you were born and will live as long as you live.
1. How old is LO? DS is 2 weeks and 1 day old today
(Man the time is flying!)
2. Was he early, late, or right on time? 2 weeks early

4. How much and how often does he eat? How long does it take to feed him? Well since the doc apt yesterday, I have been feeding him every 2 hours during the day and every 3 hours at night, but today he has pretty much wanted to eat every hour... Normally he eats for about 10-15 mins on one side and might eat on the other for about 5 (other times he will eat for 20 on both)
5. How long does she typically sleep? How long is she usually awake? He was jaundice at first, so he slept alot, but now he seems to be learning night and day
, so he sleeps pretty well at nigth ( I was waking him to feed every 3 hours.. otherwise he would sleep for 4 1/2 hours-which is why the doc thinks he isn't gaining weight super fast). He has been awake alot more too during the day
6. Where does she land on the fussy vs angel scale? We are super lucky... He is very good. He rarely crys, if anything he just fusses when he is hungry. He does cry during diaper changes and also changing clothes, but for the most part he is great!

3. Weight/height? 7lbs 13 oz 21 inches long
4. How much and how often does he eat? How long does it take to feed him? He eats about every hour to three hours during the day (7a-11p) and typically for 20 mins, he eats maybe once during some nights, and SSTN on most.
5. How long does she typically sleep? How long is she usually awake? He sleeps during the night for 5-7 hours typically and is awake for much longer periods of time during the day, only napping a few times for 30 mins-2 hours ish at most times.
6. Where does she land on the fussy vs angel scale? He's kind of fussy- well not so much fussy as uncomfortable from the reflux, we are still figuring out how to manage that. He is an angel at night, and more fussy during the day, but the poor thing has a hard time getting to sleep either way because he wakes up gagging from the reflux.
7. Favorite thing about him? He has his dad's pinky fingers, which are turned in, looks just like DH and MIL. It is quirky but in a very cute way. I also love cuddling and how he smells, even when he poops and spits up it isn't offensive smelling, he just smells like baby.

3. Weight/height? 7 lbs 4 oz and 20.5 inches at birth
4. How much and how often does he eat? How long does it take to feed him? He eats 3 - 4 oz every 2 - 3 hours in the afternoon and typically 3 - 4 hours at night. Last night he slept for 6 glorious uninterupted hours, though!

6. Where does she land on the fussy vs angel scale? He's a pretty good baby. He only cries when he is hungry and only fusses for no reason occasionally.
7. Favorite thing about him? I can tell already he's a smart cookie. He's so inquisitive and just loves looking around, taking everything in. He loves to move - sometimes he gets frustruated if he can't get somewhere. I know that as soon as he is able, he's going to be a mover and a shaker. He can hold up his head already! And he is SO expressive - I love all his little faces. (sorry, I couldn't stop at one thing)

3. Weight/height? 6 lbs 4 oz 19 and 1/4 inches

5. How long does she typically sleep? How long is she usually awake? He sleeps 3 -4 hours at night and during the day it really varies from 1 -2 hours. After our 9pm feeding he likes to stay awake usually until the next feeding and then during his other night feedings he is only awake for a few minutes after eating and during the day it varies how long he stays awake.
6. Where does she land on the fussy vs angel scale? The past couple days he has been pretty off and on fussy (once again I think he's having a growth spurt) but other than that he only screams when hungry. He is our 0 - 60 man when it comes to his temper!

5. How long does she typically sleep? How long is she usually awake? She sleeps a lot, basically wakes up to eat and passes back out. Maybe 6 naps of 1-3 hours during the day. At night, she wakes up about every 3 hours for a diaper change and to eat, then back to sleep. She's not awake very long when she's not eating.
6. Where does she land on the fussy vs angel scale? She's a very good baby. Fusses when she's hungry or wet, and that's about it. Only cries if I let her fuss too long without feeding her.

3. Weight/height? 7 lbs 13 oz and 20 inches

5. How long does she typically sleep? How long is she usually awake? Usually in about 3 hour spurts, every now and then he'll get a 4 hour span in there. At night he won't really wake up but during the day he'll stay awake for a couple hours.

7. Favorite thing about him? He looks just like both of us, but mostly my husband. He has has a ton of personality since he was about 2 weeks old, he chatters is very alert when he is awake, is strong and is overall a great baby. That and his chubby lil cheeks on his tiny little body.
