Tinsley had to go to the doctor yesterday.  She has not been sleeping well.  Every time we lay her down to sleep, she wakes up within 15 minutes.  She has been grabbing at her ears, so we figured we better get it checked out.  Her ears are clear and the doctor thinks it is just major congestion.  I am afraid she will be an allergy sufferer like the rest of us.  The doctor said to continue using her nasal spray and to not let her sleep flat on her back.  So, last night we used her "nap nanny".  She slept great!!!  We were in shock. She slept for 7 hours straight!  I kept waking up checking to make sure she was okay.  After she woke up, she took her bottle, burped and I changed her.  She was back asleep within an hour and 15 minutes and slept for another 2 1/2 hours.  She would normally be awake for at least 2 hours when she wakes up in the middle of the night.  What a great night!  We really hope that keeping her elevated continues to help her breathing so that she can rest more comfortably.  She is growing so quickly.  She now weighs 12 1/2 lbs. and is 24 inches long.  She is growing like a weed!  Here is a quick pic of our happy little one from yesterday.
