More feeding news

It's amazing what actually feeding your baby can do for her. She has settled down a lot since we started using formula as our primary food. Tina's milk hasn't come in yet in any usable quantity, so we've decided to use formula. And just like that, she's a whole new baby.

E ate every three hours until 2:30 AM, when she did her colicky-crying-and-needing-to-be-held-and-suckle-daddy's-finger thing until 6. We bought a sling carrier so she can be close to us while we can still use at least one hand.

She added 2 ounced overnight, up to 9 pounds even. That's pretty good - the pediatric nurse said they look for an ounce a day at this point. We're moving in the right direction...thank you, Lord.
