Ok, update on the munchkin man.....while he is sleeping :) Zach is now 8 lbs 10 oz. Big boy! He had an eye exam to day & his retinopathy has regressed to Stage 1 (it was stage 3). We will go back in a month for a recheck. His doctor was very impressed with his improvement. Zach has gone from eating every 3 1/2 to 4 hours to eating every 2 1/2 to 3 hours....yikes. He is eating less (slightly), but may be getting ready for a growth spurt. He goes down about 6:30 pm, waking only to eat & then back to sleep. Sometimes dozing as he eats. We continue to work on breastfeeding, & found out that he is not latching quite right, so I am doing some exercises to correct that. He is a very loud sleeper, lots of grunting as he dreams. I have been trying to catch sleep where I can. During the day I wear him in a Moby wrap & he loves it! He is right next to my heart & can sleep if he wants to. I have both hands free. It is also a great workout for my butt & legs! I have to do squats to pick up anything. I found a great website where I can keep track of everything (yes, I am a dorky nurse who loves to chart :) It is good to know how much he is drinking in a day & how much he is (or isn't) sleeping. If you have sent me an e-mail & I haven't responded, I am not ignoring you, I am just tired & trying to get used to having a baby at home. Laura, we'll talk soon & I'll definitely see you in December! Sally the website is www.zacharychauncey.blogspot.com & yes I am sleep deprived :) One good website to check out is One Step Ahead for great baby & kid products. I ordered some stuff to organize his closet & so far I love it. My other friends with kids use the catalog for products also. Sorry everyone else, just needed to use this time to get out some responses ;) Oh yeah Marjan.....I have the money shot if P Daddy wearing the Moby with Zach in it! How much is that worth?
