The biggest change this week is Cami's feeding schedule. Per the recommendation of her pediatrician at her two month appointment I began feeding Cami from both breasts each nursing session instead of just one. She eats for a little longer, but will now go at least 2 hours between feedings. Most of the time she'll go 2.5 - 3 hours. With this new 'schedule', she has been nursing only 6 times per day. I think some of this can be attributed to her growth slowing down now that she is over two months old.

Cami doesn't really have a set schedule during the day, however she has been consistently going to bed between 9:30 and 10:30 then waking up anywhere from 6:00 to 8:30. She naps on and off during the day - usually in her bouncy seat or swing. I think once she starts daycare, she might develop more of a daytime schedule.

This weekend we celebrated Christmas. It was a busy two days but we survived Cami's first Christmas. :) Christmas night she had her longest night of sleep - 11 hours! Christmas Day was a LONG day for us and Cami didn't get too many naps so by the time 9:00pm rolled around I could tell she was EXHAUSTED. She was so tired that it took a while to calm her down from crying to nurse before going to sleep.

This is my last week before going back to work! Bryan is off work as well so we'll just be relaxing until 2012!
