Thursday:

Last night was the first night in a while that Annabelle has woken up in the middle of the night and needed a feeding. I hoping, and thinking, she is at the stage of sleeping through the night. That would be a relief. She still naps well, so I really don't complain too much about her sleep. Really at all. I truly know how lucky I am to have a good sleeping baby. She is quite the opposite of Liam. As she is with feeding. Liam was the easiest baby to feed. Simply give him his milk, he'd drink it, sometimes spit up, burp and then be done. She is different. Lots of squirming, lots of wiggling, back arching, etc. I've thought she may have reflux, but really, she just doesn't fit the symptoms. I think she still has some feeding issues left over that she is still learning and working through. Sometimes she is great. Especially in the middle of the night when she does happen to wake up, there is usually little hassle to it. To be honest, I usually fall asleep feeding her, and wake up to an empty bottle and a squishy sleeping baby in my arms. It's nice, I really will never forget that feeling.

I am though, trying to figure out the diaper cover situation. It seems she is wetting through the cover. I've re-lanolized both covers with twice the amount of lanolin, and am hoping that solves the problem. Cloth diapers are very interesting. Kinda fun in a way. Dad doesn't really care for them though. I'm glad we are doing it, and I think Annabelle is too, so that's all that really matters, since we are the two dealing with diapers mainly.
