I almost forgot to post Ethan's 4-month stats! He had his checkup on Thursday, May 20 and weighed in at 14 pounds 12 ounces and is 24 1/4 inches long. He's in the 25 percentile for weight. The doctor said he looks great and gave us the OK to start some rice cereal. I was thinking I would wait a little while since he's growing so well on just breast milk, but I'm not sure how much longer I can wake up every 3 hours at night.
We always said that Kaitlin spoiled us by sleeping through the night at 3 months and boy were we right! Occasionally Ethan will give us a 5 or 6 hour stretch, but he usually does it for two nights and then goes back to waking up every 3 hours. I'm exhausted and I have a pretty bad attitude by 5 or 5:30 when he's waking up again and I still feel like I haven't gotten any sleep. The doctor also said that most babies don't sleep through the night until they are 4-6 months old so I think we'll stick it out for another month or so and if he's not doing any better it might just be time for some cereal!
