We went to the doctor on Monday, Mara was 50% for weight and height and 25% for head. So, basically, a square with a small head! Doctor said she was doing great, showed us an ultra-disgusting but totally different way to clean her belly button, and gave her the Hepatitis B shot we opted not to get in the hospital. He said she was doing great and that any amount of breastmilk she got was beneficial. He also said that the hole that I saw on her ear (which Jay could not see and others said was a freckle) was in fact a hole, called an ear pit. Bizarre. My child looks like she already has a piercing on her ear. Goth baby.

He also said that she is most likely going through the witching hour when she wakes and won’t sleep from 12-2 am. Nice.

Well, after a few more days of the 12-2 chaos, we decided to see if maybe it was that she did not like her bassinet so we put her in her yet to be completely decorated room. Sure enough, she slept great, waking at 11:30, 1:30, and 5:30. And going back to sleep each time!

Is our daughter already showing signs of independence from dear old mom and dad???
