WOW! Lots to say, going to try and make this quick becuase there is no telling how long she is going to stay asleep. Normally this is her fussy time, but apparently she wants to nap through some of it today (not complaining). She played so much all day and barely napped, I'm assuming that explains the sleep right now. I'm going to bullet point this one.
-She LOVES her fisher price rainforest play mat thing. It's a lifesaver!!
-She is a really good girl about 4/5ths of the day, I'm comfortable with that. By the time she is fussy I have a headache and a back ache so it really doesn't ruin my night at all :)
-She officially coo's!! It's the cutest thing ever. I love that when I'm chatting with her she coo's even more.
-Daddy handles fussy time like it's his job...it kinda is, but still! She has a rough few hours in the evening and Nick, 90% of the time can rescue me and get her to simmer down...it's like watching a magic trick.
-I miss having Grandma here...but I'm adjusting lol.
-I pump 4 times a day, she gets 4oz every 2-3 hours during the day and can stretch about 4-5 at night (usually 7 feedings a day). Bottle feeding for every feeding except the one in the middle of the night. She is too frustrated with the slow flow otherwise (my little heifer).
-I'm supplementing formula this last week for 2 of the feedings. I was having some serious boob issues...ouch. She seems to take to the Similac sensitive (for gassiness and fussiness) really well. I'm learning not to feel guilty about it...don't tell me lactation consultant lol.
-I worked on Saturday, it was fun! I'm working again this thursday and Mimi is watching her. I'm excited to see how she does for her Mimi since she will be watching Nat 2 times a week once I go back to work.
-Our friends Dan and Angela came over Monday. They are expecting in September, it was a lot of baby talk, but I'm glad we have them to share experiences with. Angela might also be helping me out watching Natalie when I go back to work (amazing friend)! Then ill get to return the favor onces her little girl gets here.
-She LOVES the bath, it's so much fun! And she screams bloody murder when you take her out lol. That part is cute too :)
-We are wearing 0-3 month clothes and some 3 month stuff. Newborn outfits aren't long enough anymore.
-We graduated to size 1 diapers. They are huge still, but we are having a lot less "poop up the back" incidents.
-I'm so in love with her. She is changing everyday, it's amazing to watch.
-She sleeps in her crib swaddled at night, and usually goes down between 9-10:30. Wakes up once between 2-4, then sleeps till about 6:30-7:30. I'm more than happy with that. We sometimes like to stay up from 2-4 just to make it interesting, but it's not every night :)
I'm sure I missed a bunch but this way I'm a little on track with an update! We have visitors this weekend...so stoked! I leave you with this photo. I have more but she is waking up so gotta run!
Natalie and Winston just chillin'
