Scares and Good Eating

Dear Lilia,

I've decided that you aren't allowed to deviate from your normal habit of doing things. Up to this point, you have liked to sleep for about 1.5 hours and then wake up to eat for 1 hour or so and then go back to sleep. Most of the time you have a two hour to three hour block of time that you like to stay awake.

Today, you decided to pretty much sleep the entire day with only being awake long enough to get food periodically. That coupled with not really being able to wake you up very well and being completely limp while sleeping scared your mommy and me. You took your very first trip to the pediatrician today.

Thankfully, the pediatrician said that you seem to be absolutely fine. He even weighed you and found that you now weigh 7lbs and 8oz! That means you've gained 5 ounces from your birth weight. Almost a full pound from what you weighed when we left the hospital. That made Mommy and me happy. We want you to get some meat on your bones!

Thanks for being OK. Please continue to sleep well tonight. That would make me very happy!

Love,
Daddy
