The log book

From a medical perspective, it's apparently very important to know how often our daughter poops. We can't really tell how much milk she gets at each feeding, and short of running blood tests, there's no other way to track her digestive system, if she's dehydrated, or if she is sleeping too much because she isn't getting enough food, or is just a good sleeper. So we're forced to keep a "log book" as it were. Something that no doubt she'll be mortified of when we bring it out right before her first date.

Without getting too descriptive in terms of viscosity, color, texture, or sheer explosive announcement, here's a brief look at what our nights are like:

Diaper Changes:
12:40 - Poo
12:45-1:00 - Feeding
1:20 - 1:30 - Feeding
2:10 - Poo
2:15 - Feeding
3:55 - 4:45 - Big Feeding
4:30 - Poo & Pee
5:25 - Pee
5:30-6:00 swaying in the living room in the dark while reading John Banville's "Athena" to her to get her back to sleep. (fantastic book, but perhaps too much murder and depression when she is able to actually understand the words)

Oddly enough we're not nearly as tired as we should be. Afternoon naps have been a godsend. Right now I have no idea how any father can function at work the next day, or how any mother can do this alone.
