6 week growth spurt=Very tired Mommy & Daddy

Oh my! I thought the 3 week growth spurt was rough. This one is much harder. Luckily we're getting through it...slowly :) It all started with her screaming at me when trying to latch on. Well...we've solved that problem for the most part. I ended up calling the AAMC breastfeeding warmline for advice. I talked to the same lactation consultant that visited us in the hospital. She said it sounded like a growth spurt and to just hang in there. So that's what we're doing.

Last night she was up from 1 am to 6 am. She would nod off now and then...but we were awake for most of that time. Little stinker she is!! :) She's napped good today and is in a great mood. Smiling lots for mommy...and starting to coo a little! Yay!! I can't believe how big she's getting already!

Here's a pic of her. Caution: Cuteness Overload!!

One month old today!



I can't believe she's already a month old! My big girl :) I finally feel like I'm starting to get the hang of this mothering thing. I'm sure a month from now I'll be saying the same thing. I feel like we're starting to get to know her, and what she likes/doesn't like. Last night was a rough one. She screamed bloody murder for a good hour or so. She didn't want to eat, but I knew she was hungry...so finally she took the bottle instead. We had to pick up new bottles because she hates the ones we have. So hopefully today will go smoother. We have her one month pictures at JCP today...so we'll be posting pics of that soon. Her dr. appt isn't until Monday, so hopefully we'll hear that she's doing good. She looks like she's gained weight....but a mother always worries :)

Our first day together

We're doing good on our own today! I didn't know how it would go...but we're hanging in there. She's been a sleeping angel most of the day...kinda makes me worried about what is in store for me tonight! :) She's over 2 weeks old already....and I've forgotten what life was like before her. 

Thought you might enjoy a photo of the sleeping babe.....
