Back to Birth Weight

Luke has finally reached his birth weight. He continues to gain about two ounces a day, which is twice as much as a normal baby. We're not sure if this trend will continue now that he's caught up. Yesterday, he ate virtually the entire time I was home before bed. He didn't sleep at all. He would just stare around for about half an hour, then start his hunger dance.

Melissa has had basically no sleep the last couple nights because of his feeding frenzy. Luke has stopped his usual five hour naps, instead he wakes up every 2-3 hours on his own to be fed again. Since it takes an hour to feed him, and Melissa takes about 30 minutes to fall asleep, it's obvious why she's so tired. Somehow, yesterday she managed to make two trips out to her school to get stuff ready for her sub. What a warrior. I think her only goal today is to sleep. That's my goal too, and I'm going to work.
