Last night was a little rough. After all of the pacifier replacing with no avail, I moved Will to his swing, where he slept until his midnight meal. Last night we decided to try waiting 4 hours between feedings since we were having to wake him up every other night. After that feeding he slept just fine in his crib. I had my alarm set for 4am and he decided at 3:40 that he was ready for more food. After that we had another fussy spell, which was only eventually calmed by swaddling him in his new fleece swaddler.

Since we had a rough night we slept in until about 10:30, then got up to get ready for our 1 week check up. Klif got home just in time to go with us.

The check up went great. Will now weighs 8lbs. 3oz. and is 21" long.

The doctor had nothing but praises for his progress, and even said that we no longer needed to wake him during the night to feed him, that he would let us know when he is ready.

The rest of the day has just been relaxing, cleaning, and hanging out!

Will got his second bath and once again screamed through most of it. His umbilical cord is hanging by a thread!

I am looking forward to the possibility of getting more than 3 hours of sleep at once!
