So far Faith is a fairly easy baby. She is consistently waking up only twice a night. The first time between midnight and 1 am and again between 3 and 4 am. She generally eats and goes back to sleep without much fuss. When she does fuss I just hold her and let her sleep in my arms. That way we both get sleep. On two separate nights she has only woken up once, the first time it was at 3 am and the second time and 2:15 am. I really hope she continues to be a good sleeper. Bryce was over a year old before he was up this few times.
She typically sleeps all morning long, which allows me to either play with Bryce, or run errands if he is at the Toddler's Playgroup. Then she is awake most of the afternoon taking little cat naps here and there. Evenings are her toughest time. For the past several days she has been fairly fussy from 6 or 7 until 9 or 10. Nathan and I have to take turns bouncing her or patting her back until she stops fussing. I think her fussing is a result of tummy trouble. She spits up a lot and at night it gets worse. She has projectile vomited several times already.
At her 1 week check she was almost back up to her birth weight, weighing in at 8 lbs 3 oz. Dr. Wolf said she is doing great. She does have lots of gunk in her eyes, which he said is probably a result of blocked tear ducts and that they should clear up on their own.
Nanny gave Faith her first bath on Nov. 2nd. She was a really good girl and didn't cry. She seemed to like lounging in the warm water.
