Also during the day she sleeps about 1,5-2 hours between feedings now. As soon as I put her to bed she finds her thumb and uses it instead of a pacifier to fall asleep. It is so adorable!

Ons moppie (our sweetie)
Like I mentioned Jill has developed a great sleeping schedule. She now has slept through the night for exactly one week, so I am starting to believe that it isn't just coincidence... but you never know.

Aerobics class reunion
Today I went to a get together from the aerobics pregnancy class I took. This time with 20+ babies and strollers! It was fun, I went with my neighbor Hetty and her daughter Kaat, who is 6 weeks younger than Jill. We went to the beach restaurant that Sean, Jill, Clover and I went to 2 weeks ago. It was great weather!
It was fun to see a lot of the women and of course their babies, but it was also a bit of a contest to hear who had the worst delivery, etc.... I guess that is expected when you put a bunch of new mothers together. But blocking that part it was fun to hear all the stories.
Jill wasn't too happy for some reason, I think she was just tired.
Together in the car. Notice Jill's sad lip.
Some of us, with babies!

Keeping my fingers crossed...
...that Jill will keep up her latest sleeping habits. For 2 nights now she slept from 11.30 pm till 7 am. I feel like a different person!
Now that we completely switched to bottle feeding I can bring in a better schedule in the day, so Jill gets woken up at 11 pm for her last feeding. When I was breastfeeding she would usually fall asleep exhausted around 9 pm and wake up around 2/3 am. I wouldn't wake her up later in the evening, because with breastfeeding you are supposed to feed on demand. Well that was alright for 3 months, but now it was time to look at my needs (I was just exhausted). So now that we can adjust her feeding and thus can shift her sleeping habit it goes much better (with both me and Jill, we wake up much happier). The first couple of days she still woke up around 3/4 am, mostly out of habit I think, because she would hardly eat, and now she starting sleeping through it. I think the formula fills her a bit better too. Also during the day she only wants to eat every 3-4 hours and with breastfeeding I was very glad to make it to 3 hours.
So now keeping my fingers crossed....

Grandma Musters outfit
Grandma Musters likes to make Jill cute outfits. At first the sweaters were still to big, but now that Jill is growing so well she fits them good and likes to play in them.
