6 weeks and we slept through the night!

This week Annabelle turned 6 weeks and we had a few firsts.  She slept for the first time through the entire night.  We put her down about 10:30 and she slept all the way until 5:30.  I woke up at 3:00 just waiting for her to start crying, but she moaned briefly and was out...I waited and waited and finally at 5:30 she woke up.  It was so amazing, but I missed our nightly time together. 
We went to my doctor on Friday for my postpartum appointment and then walked across to Annabelle's.  I figured since we were in the area, we should pop in for a weight gain.  I feel like she has been more gasy and spitting up more, so wanted to make sure she was continuing to gain weight.  It was exactly two weeks from her month appointment, which she was 9 lbs. 11 oz. and Friday she was 10 lbs. 12 oz, so had gained over a pound in two weeks! 
Annabelle got the case of baby acne which I am hoping will go away soon.  They say it does not hurt them, nor does it last long, but I hate to see her pretty skin with pimples.  I think she has sensitive skin anyway, because every time she feeds, she gets milk face, followed by a rash. 
Mornings are our favorite time!  We feed around 5:30 - 6:00 and then go back to bed together until 8:30-9:00.  Feed again, then I will pump.  Annabelle always sits in her Boppy and is so smiley!
