3 Weeks

Everything is going pretty well at our house. Bodhi is at the stage that he wants to eat almost constantly and doesn't want to sleep at night. When we first brought Bodhi home the doctor told us to keep him on a schedule during the day, so wake him up every three hours to eat, and then at night just let him sleep and wake up on his own to eat. By doing this she said that he would be more likely to sleep longer at night. We have been really good about keeping him on this schedule. Instead of sleeping longer at night he has just kept this schedule of waking up about every three hours which has been fine. But now he is waking up every hour- hour and a half to eat for about 3 hours or more and then will sleep for about 3-4 hours. I have heard that this is a stage that babies go through at three weeks to help your body produce more milk since they are growing and will need more milk. Last night was lots of fun with him waking up every 20 mins from 11:30 till 3:00 am. Hopefully this stage will end soon, especially before I have to go back to work. Bodhi has also been awake more often during the days which is fun and has started to smile, although he does not smile at anything in particular. So that is about all our life consists of at the moment.
