Inspired by an emailed suggestion, this post is going to be a sort of day in the life post. Although every day varies somewhat this kind of gives you the framework of my day. All times are rounded to the nearest 15 minutes. Brady is 11 weeks old today.<\/p>\n

I think her total sleep time in the last 24 hours is between 15-16 hours. As is normal, Brady’s sleeping and eating amounts seem to vary from day to day but her eating seems to be increasing as her sleeping decreases.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
