Gretchen slept all night! She finally went to sleep around 12:30 am and woke us up just before 7 am this morning!! Amazing! Well, it is, and then again, it's not. Yesterday she was awake more than she has ever been. The longest time she was asleep was from about 12 noon through 3:30 pm. She would fall asleep for a little while (less than an hour) and then wake back up. Last night we had friends over for dinner and then Dave played poker with the guys from work. Here are a couple of pictures they took..bmp)

Gretchen went to sleep around 7 pm but was up at 9. She didn't want to go back to sleep, so I brought her back downstairs, which is when they took those pictures. All she wanted to do was eat. I fed her myself at 9. Then I pumped and fed that to her at 10. I had pumped earlier in the day and was planning on freezing it, but she was still hungry so I fed her that. That was another 3 oz. After she ate that, I pulled out a bag I had frozen and started thawing it just in case. Glad I did, b/c at 11:30 she wanted to eat again. By 12:30 she had almost polished off the entire 5 oz. So, like I said, I was surprised that she slept through the night and then again, I'm not surprised - b/c of her lack of sleep and the amount of food. It will be interesting to see when she does it again! Whooo-hoooo! Oh, and I weighed her yesterday, and she was 10 lbs 2 oz. After all that food, I'm sure she's grown!

What a little eater! She must be going through a growth spurt. They do this every now and then and it makes them sleep longer at night, which is a good thing. Thanks for the pictures and updates. They are great.
10 lbs. wow! she is making up for being small at birth. i'm going to agree with the poster before me. sometimes they go through spurts where they eat everything in site. it's totally normal. but i'll hope for your sake that she continues to sleep 7 hours at night. that is great.
Thanks for having us over for dinner, we had a great time. See you guys soon.
