  LO ate 4.5oz starting at 8:30pm last night, she fell asleep around 9:30 and didn't wake up hungry until about 3:15am! That's almost 6 hours! The longest she's ever slept.

  I don't think it's going to be a regular thing because I believe she is going through a growth spurt right now, but how awesome!

  We got two four hour stretches and then a three hour stretch. Every time was change, nurse,and right back to sleep. The night before she was up every two hours and took a while to go back down so this was amazing!

  for the first time ever (and after some pretty pathetic night feeds)... LO just chugged 3.5oz. And she seems to be responding really well to this reflux med. I'm praying this is a corner we're turning and her weight gain (while has been good enough) will be even better at her next appointment.

  I have made time to do 30 day shred two days in a row! Of course LO always wakes up in the third circuit but since I can't do abs yet, I skip the abs and play with her for a second to calm her down.

  Last night, it only took 45 minutes to get both boys fed, burped, and back to sleep in their CRIBS (yay!) after the MOTN feeding.  It usually takes 1 1/2 hours to get them back to sleep, with multiple attempts, and them fussing until we bring them into our bed, the pack n play in our room, or my husband sleeping in the living room with them in the Rock n Plays.

  DD is finally regulating herself to a little bit of a schedule. She's still not falling asleep unless it's on me or DH but that's ok. At least she's sleeping even though it's only a little but at a time.
  
  I'm getting a little bit of Halloween crafting done. I'm doing hats for the kids. I figure small projects will keep me sane while having to stay in the apartment so much. Especially on a rainy day like today. :-)

  Victory #1: First day back to work and DH has DD all day. Feeling pretty normal for the first time in 6 weeks...I like it.
  
  Victory #2: Currently pumping in the conference room and it's going really well. I had a snack and got to play on my phone a bit. Kind of weird though...the conference room has windows that face out to the front of the building/parking lot and is on grounds level. Anyone walking by can clearly see what I'm doing. I don't really care but I know it would weird out some coworkers.

  Both of the little kids are fed and happy on my first day home alone with a newborn and toddler!!! Ds1 will be home from school in about an hour and I'm hoping things continue to go smoothly with him here.
  
  I also think I'm going to need to bathe the littles soon because dd2 slept too long in her diaper and peed sometime last night and the tiny one just dribbled milk in his chins so he should start smelling soon also. We'll see if that happens before dh gets home because it would require me to unload and load the dishwasher....

  I finally relaxed enough to take an hour and a half nap today with the baby! It was so nice to finally get some "extra" sleep in. I've been too stressed/nervous to take a real nap until today.
