Grady is doing well though. He usually eats between 9 and 10pm then sleeps till he eats from 2-3am then sleeps till 6 or 7am. Technically I guess he is just waking up once during the night to eat. During the day he eats every 3-3 1/2 hours, with a little longer stretch in the afternoon. My girls went 4 hours from the day they were born. That hour is a HUGE difference! I just keep trying to be thankful he isn't doing that through the night too!
We moved him to his crib in his room at night when he was 3 weeks. He sleeps better and so do I. He weighed 11lbs 13oz Tuesday at the doctor's office. I had to take him in to check out some newborn acne he has. No big deal, but I couldn't tell if it was newborn acne or a rash. It's not pretty, but we can't do anything about it and it will go away on its own in a month. Other than that, he is doing great. He eats well, but takes his sweet time and I still have to fight to keep him awake during feedings.
We've had amazing help from family and friends. Our moms have come and stayed with us and we've had family and friends bring us dinners too. We are so thankful.
Here is a picture of 3 generations of the Brewer men we took this week.

This was a good idea ... cool pic!! Jamie will be very thankful when Grady is his age =)
WOW ... 11 lbs and 13 oz!! That is some "gold" milk he is eating =)... worth a fortune!!!
Jamie took forever and ever to eat also and he ate every 1 1/2 hours forever and he didn't sleep all night until he was 1 1/2 yrs old! So at least Grady only wakes up the one time ... that is awesome! I am glad that I could help as I am sure everyone else is too. That was an awesome vacation for me to get to see the girls and spend that much quality time with all of you (esp Grady)! Love you!
