I heart Trixie Tracker

I'm not sure if I mentioned this before - but I love pushing buttons, tracking things and collecting data. So when I discovered the website called Trixie Tracker....I was in love. This website tracks how well baby is doing in terms of sleeping, eating and pooping. After all, that's what babies do best!

So I started tracking Emmett last week. I recorded the times he was awake and the times he would be sleeping and the website gave me a visual graph along with sleep averages to give me an idea on how Emmett was doing. This thing is so cool. It even gives you the probablity of whether he would be alseep during a certain time of the day.

It's blurry cause I had to take a picture of this from the computer and then blow it up.
But you get the idea.
So according to the website: Emmett sleeps on average of 14 hours and 2 minutes a day. This is pretty good cause most 10 week old babies sleep an average of 13 hours and 30 minutes. He is away 9 hours and 57 minutes per day. We change about 8 diapers within 24 hours.

The nice thing also is that Ben can login and check on Emmett while he is at work. That way he knows if he can call me (he checks to see if the baby is up or not) and just more connected on how Emmett is doing.

Here is his diaper graph:
The blue lines represent a wet diaper and the brown lines are poopy diapers. He's obviously all over the place but he pretty much gets his diaper changed at 12pm-1pm everyday. This is a great tool to have cause next time when Emmett's Dr. asks about his diapers I will actually be able to show her how he's doing in terms of sleep, eating and pooping!

Wow, I have to say, that is REALLY cool. Especially the part about Ben knowing when it's okay to call.
