  Up for our first feeding. LO took forever to finally fall asleep last night.
  
  My plan is to hit up the library tomorrow...with an infant. What could possibly go wrong? I want to pick up the hunger games and see what all the fuss is about, I also want to read The Book Thief, which I have heard is outstanding, and finally I need to pick up Devil in the Grove for my book club.

  I am up but LO is sleeping soundly. I expected her to wake up about 30 min ago for her first feeding. She didn't go down till 12 tonight but I keep thinking I should wake her up and feed her.
  
  My favourite books are of course Harry Potter. I have read them a million times but still get excited every time. Others I enjoyed are hunger games, memoirs of a geshia, and the host.

  Second feeding here. DS went down much easier tonight, but is still waking up more frequently than he was so I don't think we are done with the growth spurt yet.
  
  I'm reading the Dr. Sears baby book right now, but hopefully I can find a nice book to pleasure read soon. I love the Harry Potter books as well as The Hunger Games. I really want to see the new movie, but with DS that won't be happening any time soon.

  Not reading anything. I used to love to read, but since I can't take my ADD meds while BFing it is not something I can really do. It's frustrating.
  
  I just got a nice 4 hour clip of sleep but now Frankie is next to me having party gassy ass hour. I hope to be asleep before 5 so that I can get a few hours in before DD1 wakes up.

  Don't have time to read, other than the bump. Fed lo and now pumping. She went a bit longer between feedings. Not sure if it was a fluke or not.

  4:27 and in the midst do our second feeding. He was last put down at 1:30 so that was a nice clip! He has ansuch an appetite that I usually have to give him a formula bottle after nursing but last feeding, he nursed and then went right back down. GTKY: I downloaded Allegiant (the last of the Divergent trilogy) on the day it came out Oct. 22 bc I was soooo excited. Have I started it yet? Nope. Grrrrrr. Favorite book ever? A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving. Irving is my favorite author ever!!!!

  Just after 4:30 and up for first feeding. We've had a week of terrible fussy evenings and last night we needed to go run some errands. I was so nervous she was going to scream the whole time but she slept the whole time! Then we thought, oh crap, this will probably mean she'll be up all night screaming... Nope! So proud of our LO and hope that we're turning a corner.
  
  Not reading anything currently. I love all the novels by Dan Brown

  4:30ish here. My lady slept for about 3 hours and hopefully will go back down for another three or so.
  
  Currently reading the Attachment Parenting book by Dr. Sears. I haven't found anything through the library that I want to read lately. But I did download The Book Thief audiobook, so I will probably start listening to that when I walk. Favorite book would have to be To Kill a Mockingbird. And I love Harry Potter, too.

  What a shit night. Second night in a row that DH put LO down and he's crying within 2 minutes. That sort of record isn't doing DH any favors. Only 1:45 and up for 3rd feeding.
  
  In between books right now so reading you all's suggestions!

  5am and up for the first feeding. Whoever suggested putting the heating pad in the bedfor LO is a genius and I thank you!
  
  I'm not reading anything currently. I have a whole stack of magazines I've been getting for the past two months that I'd like to look through. As far as books, I love the typical Harry Potter and Hunger Games and of course the trashy beach stories.

  First feeding at 2am. LO just went his longest stretch ever - fed at 9 alseep around 10:15 pm! So happy. He just made up for a long and colicky day...almost.
  
  This reminds me I need to find my kindle and put it in my nursing spot so I can download a good book. Last one I read that I would recommend is Hologram for the King by Dave Eggers. Gone Girl is a good easy fast read.

  Up for our first feeding at 5:12 EST. We are on "vacation" visiting ILs family in Cinci and I am so relived he has slept well the last 2 nights... One moe night to go!
  
  Fav books... Difficult to choose. I love series: Millennium Trilogy, Dan Brown books, Harry Potter, LOtR, and then The Secret. Not currently reading anything but am interested in reading the Discovery of Witches series and finally jumping on the Twilight and Hunger Games bandwagon to see what I've been missing... They didn't initially interest me.

  Yes, DS does this as well. The first stretch is always the best and I have been wondering why this is.

  Up for the past two hours.  Fed DD, put her down, she wakes up in five minutes, go put paci in her mouth, she goes to sleep, wakes up, rinse and repeat for the past two hours.  I refuse to sleep with her though, because I don't want her to get used to it =(.

  
  

  Finally trying to see what all the fuss is about with 50 Shades of Gray.

  I preordered Allegiant. I'm mad I spent money on it. It was so boring, and I hated the ending. I do not know 1

  Tired and need to pee but there's a little baby stuck to my boob. Guess momma's needs will have to wait (as usual).
  
  Reading, and have been for months now, A Casual Vacancy. That book by JK Rowling. Having a hard time getting into it and even finding time to read. Oh well.

  LO nurses for half an hour to an hour then sleeps on my lap for two. This is my day. Day time tv is boring and online shopping is getting me in trouble. I need something to do while being pinned to my couch!

  Been up for two hours. I woke up and woke up baby to feed him because if not he will want to be on my breast all day! LO is currently sleeping in the Moby. This is going to be an eventful day because he sounds congested so must keep towels around for all that snot I am catching today.

  
  

  Currently, I am heading to the classics. During the day I am reading, "Pride and Predjuice" by Jane Austen and at night on the Play Books I am reading "Great Expectations" by Charles Dickens. I am a huge fan of Isabelle Allende in particular her, "House of the Spirits". I also like "Memoirs of a Geisha"
