Your Fists

Two weeks ago, you started to suck your fists - this is good news because you can never keep a pacifier in your mouth. Plus when you are crying or are hungry, you can try to soothe yourself by sucking on your fists. This is how you sleep at night. We swaddle you in a special blue blanket - it has velcro tabs so that we can wrap you tightly with your arms by your side which prevents you from swatting yourself and waking up. Great invention by some tired parents! You also sleep with your head elevated to prevent you from spitting up. You are still suffering from acid reflux; you are taking some medicine called Axid twice a day. I think it has helped, but you still spit up or puke quite a bit after every feeding.

For now, you are sleeping in a bassinet in our bedroom. You are just beginning to "sleep through the night" which really means skipping a feeding and sleeping for 4-6 hours. Terrific news because I have been exhausted feeding you several times during the night while your Daddy is dead to the world.
