Where does baby sleep?She has a co-sleeper, but sleeps in bed with us 80% of the time at night. During the day she sleeps in our arms or in her co-sleeper (it also serves as a bassinet) in whichever room I happen to be in at the time.
How is baby sleeping?Better than I expected. Most nights she sleeps for a 4-6 hour stretch, eats, then sleeps for another 2-3 hours. Some nights she prefers to wake every 2 hours to eat.

Has baby had any vaccines? How did they do?Nope.
