wow, I have survived 7 weeks of motherhood! Time has gone so fast! Things were slow starting out because she has reflux and wasn't gaining any weight. So, it was weekly Dr. visits and weight checks, and many sleepless nights and days while doing nothing but holding her, feeding her and cleaning up puke, but we have finally gotten a handle on things after trying new techniques each week. Things are awesome now, she is gaining weight and is a happy baby. She has started smiling. It melts my heart, not to mention when she smiles at her dad...well, lets just say she is gonna get what she wants! She has him wrapped around her little finger already! The best part...she sleeps through the night, for example last night was 9-1/2 hours, oh the sleep is so sweet! I feel so much better, I am slowly getting out of that zombie-like state! Motherhood has been a HUGE adjustment, but I souldn't trade it for the world. I am at peace with quitting my jobs, yes there is stress to this, but nothing compared to dealing with the stresses in the workplace, difficult clients and co-workers. It just isn't the same. I love it!
We had another baby shower after she was born and got lots of diapers and gift certificates, (YEAH) so we can buy formula. That was a blessing! That stuff really adds up in expenses. its crazy. I am just so happy that she is doing well. Well, I am gonna sign off for now, it's about time for supper.
