| I love, love, love these little furry shoulders. |
The kids have been fantastically helpful.
They just adore their little sister.

And let me tell you how much I love Ryan loving his little girl!
He's been such a sweet heart to me, and is such a helper. But he is just head over heels for this baby.
In other Edie news, she hasn't pooped in 5 days! Since this...
I looked it up online before making a Dr. appointment. But apparently it's normal for exclusively breastfed babies. I don't remember if Gwen or Drake did this. But since babies bodies digest breast milk so efficiently, they don't have to poop a ton/often. This is a change from her newborn weeks when she was pooping several times a day. But it warns that when she does poop, it'll be a lot. That picture above was after not pooping for two and a half days. I'm scared for her next poo...
We're working on getting her on a schedule, and sleeping in her crib. She takes at least one nap a day in her crib, and sleeps most of the night in her crib. And last night she had her longest stretch between feedings - 6 HOURS!! But I didn't sleep that long. I woke up automatically for our 2 am feeding, but she was still asleep. I think I woke up every twenty minutes after that making sure she was in fact still sleeping. She didn't wake up until 3:40! Crossing my fingers this happens again tonight!
