so i mentioned we're trying to apply the concepts in "Baby Wise" (the whole wake, eat, play, sleep thing). she's basically on a schedule, that we're not supposed to call a schedule. i believe the term is "parent-directed feeding" or PDF (nothing to do with Adobe), instead of on-demand feeding. it does induce predictability and prevents snacks.
Peanut is one month old, and moreso due to frustration and exhaustion than due to the milestone, we stopped setting the alarm for the 3 am (or so) feeding. for the last two nights i fed her around midnight, and we're all nestled in our beds by 1 am. she makes it until about 5 am. that's four hours of continuous sleep, as opposed to two. el Jefe' thinks we should get her tested (that's an inside joke, directed at our parents).
i had a hard time falling asleep last night. the longer sleep feels worse than the bits and pieces sleep. but i'm not complaining. it has been an amazing month.
