A day in the life of Ethan

I wanted to track a typical day in the life of Ethan.  I had had a lot of stress lately because he has been fussy all week.  I wanted to see how much he cried and didn't sleep.  Well, he must of suspected and has been the absolute most perfect baby ever!  Well, minus the poop.  That boy is making me scared with his lack of poopage.  

Midnight-3:30 Sleep in swing on high with white noise and vibration on
3:30-4:20 Wake up, diaper change, eat while mommy plays words with friends and reads bible
4:20-7:00 Sleep in swing
7:00-8:15 Wake up, diaper change, eat while mommy reads What to expect community boards and Babywise boards
8:15-9:20 Fall asleep in mommies arms til daddy takes me and holds me then puts me in bouncer.  Mommy got spoiled by daddy and had eggs, bacon, and toast.  Yum!

9:20-10:30 Wake Up screaming, diaper change, cry, diaper change, eat while mommy sings to me with her Glee App...pppoker face
10:30-11:18 Sleep in mommies arms til she puts me in bouncer
11:18-11:25 Wake up and look around.  Stretch and root and grunt and smile.

11:25-12:220 Whimper, Scream, get burped by daddy, diaper change,  eat while mommy checks facebook, email, and words with friends and watches Ellen
12:20- 1:36 Fall asleep in mommy's arms and oops on her zipper.  Get put in bouncer. 
1:36- 1:43Slowly Wake up, stretch, doze off, fart, stretch, root, make funny faces, grunt, get paparazzi-ed
1: 43-2:28 Cry, Diaper change (takes a little bit longer because the crystal beads from diaper are all over him) , Scream, eat while mommy cringes in pain from thrush AND you twisting and pulling on the boob.  And eats homemade pizza from daddy. 
2:28-2:35 Burped and chilling with daddy. 
2:35-2:50 Crying and diaper check.  Chilling in bouncy.
2:50-2:53 First attempt at tummy time.  Not too shabby.
2:53-2:57 Crying and diaper change.
2:57-3:08 Crying and rooting
3:08-3:47 Supplement an ounce of formula, nap, get in bouncy, cry, eat fist, chill, cry, root, diaper change, cry
3:47-4:30 Eat while mommy watches Holly's World.  Pop off after only 6 minutes? The latch is easiest when daddy helps out. 
4:31- 6:48Cry, diaper change, cry, swaddle, sleep
6:49-7:28  Diaper change, eat while mommy watches Les Mes and plays words with friends
7:29-8:30 Burped by daddy and sleep while mommy eats Spaghetti made by friends.
8:31-9:40 Diaper change and eat yet again.  Not as painful this time.  Hmm...  Fed for 15 x 2 and now he is starving still.  Gave another 15 and he seems ok. 
9:40-10:28 Burped by daddy and fussy.  Could it be constipation?  Screaming, crying.  Changed diaper, sang to, gave in and gave one ounce of formula.  Bath time!  He cracks me up.  He is wide awake!  But at least he's not fussy.  Phew.

10:28-10:45 Chilling in bouncy and not the least bit tired.  Uh oh.  At least he is happy and content. 
10:45-11:30 Fussy and rooting.  Diaper change and eat while mommy goes on La Leche website and breastfeeding sites.  She has a lot of questions. She emailed many people the following questions.

If my baby needs to feed every hour and a half will my breasts produce enough hind milk to fill up my baby?

He isn't pooping regularly, is this normal?  He went 6 days before the doctor recommended a suppository.  Now he has gone two days. 

He has started this new thing where he pulls back on my breast then nurses normally.  Is he trying to get more milk? 

After he feeds sometimes he still acts hungry.  Should I supplement with formula?

Baby has been gassy.  Farting a lot and grunting.  I'm taking fenugreek and blessed thistle.  Could that be the cause?

During the day he can only go two hours between feedings but at night he would go 4 hours or more if I let him.  Is that normal?
11:30-2:00 Sleep in swing with white noise.
And there you have it.  A day in the life of baby E.
