lastnight we put into place the routine. and the kid seemed to buy into it :-) he took his bath like a champ (unlike his first bath where he screamed his sweet fuzzy head off), got nestled into his jammies, ate a bit and fell asleep during his story and song. we put him in his bassinet around midnight-ish... and he was up by 1 a.m. since i have the late shift, i got up, changed him and settled in for his feeding. silly me, i thought that he was only going to eat 2 oz. 
nooooo, he went for the whole 4 oz! knowing that he would be up in a few hours, i ran downstairs and got another full 4 oz bottle, changed the boy and tucked him back in. two hours later, we replayed the same schedule... complete with polishing off another 4 oz bottle! as i tucked him back in, i informed mama that she had the next feeding cause the bottle that once runneth over was now bone dry :-)
tomorrow is rhys' first dr. visit. c and i are taking bets on how much he weighs. the day after we got home, he weighed in at 7 lbs 11 oz, a mere 2 oz less than he did at birth. i think that he has hit the 8 pounder club... we shall see :-)
