7 Weeks Old

Amelia has been on a sleep "schedule" since March 8th. It has been working splendidly. We put her to bed between 7:30 and 8. We start by giving her a nice warm bath with bath milk. Then we get her out and rub lotion all over her. She has special face lotion seperate from the body lotion - this was given to us. Then we dry her off with a hair dryer. She loves it. When she is dressed and swaddled I feed her for about a half hour. Usually by then she is either asleep or close to it. Then I put her in her bed. Half the time she stays asleep, the other half she is still in a sleep state, but whimpering a little. We just leave her and she falls asleep. She usually wakes up around 2:30. But she seems to be sleeping later more often than not. Her longest stretch was 9 hours. She is such a good baby. So easy. I feel extremely lucky.
