I have several items of good news to report. The first is that Owen slept for 4 hours and 40 minutes last night between feedings...nursed before bed around 9:30, woke at 3am and then slept until after 7am when we get up for Chris to go to work. Heavenly sleep, welcome back! 5 hours is the duration considered as "sleeping through the night", and we are very nearly there.
The other good news is from Owen's pediatrician visit yesterday. Owen is now 11 pounds, which falls in the 50th percentile for his age. (perfectly average!) He is also 24 inches in length, which is in the 90th percentile for his age. His doctor finds him very alert and responsive.
He has begun to smile at us, and that is really fun to see.
We are planning a drive to Brooklyn on Sunday to see our friends Suzanne and Paul. The weather is cool and sunny, and driving is still preferable to taking the train. Dr. says we need to wait until 8 weeks before trying to ride the subway with Owen. --Mostly, we are concerned about heat and crowds.
Chris is working from home tomorrow, and I am going to the New Moms meeting in the afternoon. Should be a good day for everyone.

Wow, is Owen growing fast! I can't wait to see him again. He is changing a lot. I'm glad he is getting on a night schedule that let's you both get some sleep.
Having happy parents is very helpful.
Happy good day!
Mom
