Ella has been such a good baby so far, she isn't very fussy, doesn't cry much - just when she is hungry, not a huge fan of the pacifier (maybe because she hasn't fully figured out the whole sucking thing, it's tough when you've just been doing it 11 days), doesn't cry when she gets her diaper changed for the most part (the wipe warmer helps with that)....the only real rough patch we've hit is the middle of the night. For one thing she really doesn't like to sleep in her bassinet, in her mind it makes a whole lot more sense to sleep on her mom's warm chest, complete with beating heart background noise, rather than a cold quiet bed of her own. Have we mentioned how she likes to be awake for a long stretch of time in the middle of the night? Ya, about 2am she's wide awake, happy as can be as long as someone is there talking to her and loving on her....this lasts until at least 4am each night but it feels like it's been about 5 hours! Can't say we didn't know that we'd be a bit sleep deprived with a newborn but man this nightly 2am rendezvous is a bit rough!
