The Schedule

We have been working on keeping Miss Priss on a schedule since we came home from the hospital. In the NICU they had her eating every three hours, which was fine. I could handle that. So when we were discharged, the nurse instructed us to continue waking her up to eat every three hours until we went to see her pediatrician. At the appointment, Dr. Roberts told us then to only wake her to eat during the day, and let her go as long as she would during the night. For the first two weeks at home, she was only going every four hours or so, then she would wake up crying and hungry. Well, for about the last four nights or so, she has been going much longer. I hesitated to blog on this for fear it was a fluke (like her rolling over trick...), but she has been sleeping 6 or 7 hours! Last night she went to sleep at 10:30, I laid her down at 10:45, and at 6:50 this morning, I panicked and poked her just to make sure!! I think had I not poked her, the girl would still be asleep! YAY!!
