Being that we just went through this whole newborn stage a whopping 20 months ago we should recall what its like to have a newborn, and by "what its like" I mean, that you get very little sleep. Avery sleeps like a ROCK when you hold her, nothing rouses her, but as soon as you put her down, the eyes pop open and she starts to squirm. Last night her and I fell asleep in our bed and were OUT until I woke up at 12:30 and realized we had been sleeping for a few hours, as soon as I put her in the co-sleeper she was up and ready to eat, so she ate around 1am, then again between 3:30-4:00am and then Brad took over and she ate again at 8am just as Olivia and I were getting ready to leave for The Little Gym.
I am hoping tonight is a little better. Olivia is spending the night at YaYa and GaGa's house, YaYa has been begging for some quality time with Olivia, so she gave in and let her take her for the night. Brad and I have a romantic evening planned...Costco Pepperoni Pizza, some delicious White Wine from Sebastani (one of our favorites from Sonoma) and hopefully a movie in bed. Movies are always tough, if Avery is fussy we can't seem to get through it.
Brad has been busy cleaning out the home office, getting it ready to become his office when he starts his new job on March 23rd. He is very excited about the new job and we are THRILLED for him.
We are still trying to plan a week in Northfield for early May, but it isn't in stone yet. We hope it works out, we would love to see everyone.

Oy. Been there, done that. Sleep deprivation for me is pure torture. I'm bad at it. It stresses me out, can you tell?
Sounds like Avery still does better than Cam did at her age. He was up every 1.5hrs for weeks. Oy.
Have you tried swaddling her with the Swaddle Me from BRU. You can also get them at Wal-mart, although they're not the swaddle me, but look very similiar. Cam was swaddled at 10wks until about a week ago. Once we swaddled him he slept straight through. I should have swaddled him sooner :)
