My baby is a rockstar! She slept for six hours last night! It was so nice. She fell asleep around 9:30pm and didn't wake up for a feeding until 3:20 this morning! I don't know if it was a fluke or not, so I will just appreciate it. When Ellie was a couple days old Rob said "We know two things about her: she cries like a kitten and farts like a sailor!" Both of which are true. She has kind of lost the "mewing" cry and has developed quite the wail (but she doesn't cry unless she is really ready to eat) but she still passes gas that smells like rotten eggs. She is starting to develop a schedule, which I love. And she is also starting to stay awake for a while in between naps and feedings which is fun. I can't wait for more milestones to come. I have been struggling a little bit with my feelings about how this is all affecting Tate. He has been a little sensitive the past few days and I have had less patience - which is the wrong combination. I know that he is going through something, trying in his own little way to deal with the change in the family. I felt sad last night when Rob and Tate went to Rob's parents house for a visit after dinner. I feel a small temporary division of the family - me and Ellie (for obvious feeding reasons) and Rob and Tate. I just hope that the feeling goes away soon and that I can have more patience with my little boy.
