A Month of Pippin
This morning, as I was feeding Pippin, I asked Jon what time it was. It was 2:30 AM. Pip was four weeks and thirty five minutes old. Every day brings a new baby. As of today she is technically no longer a newborn, she has graduated to infant status. Good job Pip!

Other milestones in mothering, I pumped for the first time today. It was really weird but I felt accomplished and now we have a meal in the bank, which translates to being able to leave the house without worrying about her freaking out and Jon's nerves fraying because she's hungry and he can't help her.
Soon, date night! Prometheus, I'm looking at you!
Further proof that Pip is profoundly gifted: Babies tend to breastfeed for 30-45 minutes. Pip feeds for closer to five. It's really a team effort. She has a good latch and I have a very strong supply. The combination means that in the middle of the night, instead of being up for an hour we are up for twenty minutes. Pip also is so kind as to have at least one sleep period of 3-5 hours every night. She doesn't wake us every two hours. Most nights she sleeps from around 2:30 AM to 6 or 7 AM. I am extremely grateful. We are the best rested new parents ever.
