Great news! Charlotte has now, for two weeks, repeatedly taken the bottle. After a few days of taking it (about 4 ounces each), I asked Linda to try more. I pump more than that at work so I figured she really needed more. The doctor also suggested 6 ounce bottles. Today she had 6.5 at 11 and then 5 ounces at 2 pm. I think this is helping the sleep. She slept through the night for the first time in a while last Monday night, then again Wednesday, then Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I think we're in! I feel better, but it will take a while to really recover from four months without sleep.
I took her to Baby Beloved today to weigh her. 18 lbs. So no gain in two weeks, but that is fine. She's still giant. I tried to show the lady there her tooth, but it's gone!! I guess it went back down. But it WAS there! Plain as day. I'm sad it's gone, mostly since now we'll have to go through it all again.
Work sucks, of course. I can handle it, but I don't like it. Just so hard to work full time and have her. Plus, Dave is headed out of town for a three-week stint at the end of March. Darn.

I'm happy that things (hopefully) are getting into a groove for you. I hope you catch up on sleep quickly.
18lbs! Holy camoly!
Sounds like Charlotte is doing wonderfully! It seems like she should be older than Isaac - he only takes 2 5oz bottles a day yet! However, he has starting going nuts on rice cereal and baby food - and lovin' life.
We should get together when the hubby heads out of town!
