One Full Night

Luke just slept 7 hours straight last night. April and I had been playing a new board game, Settlers of Catan, until almost 12:30am. We fed the kids and both went to sleep. Luke took awhile to get settled down, but then he proceeded to sleep until almost 8:15am.

Luke seems to be fighting sleep all the time now. I think that is what contributed to him sleeping through the night. He rarely sleeps for any extended blocks during the day. This makes him very cranky though. I'm hoping we can strike a balance over the next few weeks. 7 straight hours is so much better then 7 hours broken up over 12.

Doctor's Visit

We took Luke & Anna to their 5 week checkup. Normally babies only get a two week and then a two month, but the Doctor wanted to have one in between to make sure they were growing well. Turns out they are both doing great. Luke went from 6lbs and 19" at two weeks to 8lbs and 21" at 5 weeks. Anna went from 5lbs 9oz and 18.5" to 7lbs 2oz and 20.5". It was interesting to see that they both grew the same number of inches, but Luke has almost a pound on Anna now. Boys just grow faster I guess. It's great to know that they are both doing very well.

Quick Update

The kids are now 5 weeks old. They are doing very well. Last week was a rough week for sleep. They still haven't quite reached a schedule when it comes to sleeping. Somedays they think night is day and vice versa. April and I both caught up on some sleep this weekend. Hopefully they continue this trend. Currently the thought of work, kids, and all my other responsibilities is a bit much to swallow.

Today Luke & Anna go in for a 5 week checkup.
