Jack’s been really surprising us lately! He’s been sleeping in his bed all night long for about a week! The time of his night feedings are usually around 11:00pm then again at 5:00am. This schedule is working out pretty good because if we try to put him to bed before 11pm he is too wide awake and just smiles at you then eventually cries because he’s not tired – but right after he gets his bottle he drifts off into a deeper sleep! He still eats every three hours during the day and his pediatrician is happy with his gaining so she said it was a-ok to let him go a little longer at night. Which works out because when we used to wake him up in the middle of the night he would never eat much anyway. We are all still sleeping downstairs – but we no longer have to hold him all night long!!!!! We made a goal of getting us all upstairs in our real beds as soon as the weather gets cooler (too hot upstairs anyway right now).

Once Jack’s pediatrician saw his hip X-RAY from the hospital she said she needed to get a clearer picture so she is sending us to Hershey to get an ultrasound done. In younger babies an ultrasound shows a better picture of the bones. We are praying everything is okay. The ultrasound is scheduled for September 3rd. Jack has a busy September with lots of appointments! We’ll keep you updated on how they go.

Oh, and PS – today is Jack’s mom’s birthday!
