WILD CHILD

Good news! It is 8:30pm as I write, and Ava is already wide awake (has been since 8)! I am hoping that means she will go to bed before 1am!! Last night, I went to bed early because I was exhausted. She was sound asleep at 8pm so I thought I would go to bed then and hoped she would sleep until 10:30 (her next feeding time). Wrong! It was like a light switch went on at 9pm and she was ready to go!! She is like a ravenous beast at night wanting to eat the whole time she is awake! She stayed awake until 1am and then finally fell asleep. Maybe tonight since she is awake earlier, she will go to bed by midnight. One can only hope! She is eating really well and I am sure gaining weight! She seems bigger to me. Justin still has a cold. You know how it is with kids and colds. It's like a big snot-fest. So, we will continue to stay at my parent's house until that is under control. We were thinking tomorrow but it might be Sunday before we head home. The last thing we need is for Ava to get a cold! She would certainly end up back in the hospital and I am not returning her, again!
