hello everyone . . . I'll be posting some new photos later today or tomorrow.
Just wanted to give an update . . . Abigail is now 14 1/2 weeks (3 1/2 months) and weighs 11 lbs 3 ozs. We are so surprised with this weight gain. In January she was 9 lbs 9 oz so she gained almost 2 lbs in a little over a month!
Ped. says that she must be enjoying mom's milk because she is growing like a weed! Anyway, she sleeps from 8:30 - 9:00 at night until 6:15 a.m. when we get her up for breakfast and get her ready for daycare. She is such an easy going baby! Also, during the night, she doesn't have a dirty diaper. When we get her up in the morning for breakfast, we always change her diaper. Every morning she has a clean dry diaper!
So, all of the other new mom's, how is your little one doing with nighttime sleeping? We are waiting for her to roll over so we can see it. Question, when they begin to roll over, is that the time you need to take out the bumper pad in their crib? I can't seem to find an answer to this question.

So we got our 2nd choice 
Brady was also a good sleeper, and we were worried that once he could roll over, we would lose our good sleeper b/c he hated being on his tummy. Well, now that he can roll over, we strategically place him in the crib at night. He can only roll one way, so we lay him on his back close to the bumper the way he usually rolls. He will get up on his side when trying to fall asleep, but can't get any further b/c the bumper is in the way. So, he falls back down and goes to sleep on his back. So far so good with this strategy!! He's kinda funny in that he rolls everywhere and moves around everywhere during the day, but in his crib at night, he really just stays on his back and doesn't roll too much around in the crib. So.....as you can see, we still have the bumpers in his crib. 
We actually only have them across the back-side, tied very tightly. Once he can sit up on his own, we will take them out so he doesn't use them to pull himself up/out of the crib!! 
I have a friend who tells me once he reaches 3 months, he'll sleep much longer throughout the night. I'm looking forward to it. I'm told that my breasts will get used to the longer times in between nursing too and won't hurt as much. Let's hope so.
