Mom's first post

Shelby and Eli spent a little early afternoon time on the couch today.   This was the first time that Triscuit decided to snuggle up next to them too!  How exciting! 

Shelby is certainly tired from the nighttime feedings.  But, Eli is giving her some two-hour blocks of sleep.  That does help.  It does sound odd, but he eats a bit and then falls asleep.  Eli needs to stay awake long enough to get enough food so that he can stay asleep and satisfied for at least two hours.  When he just snacks, he only sleeps for one hour.  That is just not enough winks for Shelby.  But, the feeding is paying off.  Eli is nearly back to birth weight -- woo hoo!
