Bath Time

Abby and I took a bath this afternoon, and she had a blast.

March 17th

Well I think we are turning a corner on sleeping at night. She is starting to sleep for 3 hours at a time!! We have started walking every morning which has made me feel so much better. Abby is usually asleep during our walk, so I get some good quiet time. Abby has been invited to join a playgroup on Tuesday morning's. She doesn't do much but stare, gurgle, and grunt. I am sure she will be a big hit at playgroup. Unfortunately Abby has not gotten better with the fussy episodes. I have nicknamed her " Queen Fussarella" She is the most stubborn child. On Wednesday and Thursday she was up from 11 in the morning to 9 at night crying about every 15 minutes. She will be almost asleep and then will her eyes back open and start screaming. The evening's are generally a fussy time everyday. She is cranky and hungry. She will eat about every hour until she goes to sleep. It can be very frustrating, but well worth the because she stops screaming when she is eating. She seems to be growing like a weed. Some of her 3-6mo clothes are already fitting. I am amazed at how many of her newborn clothes she can't wear anymore. All in all she is my sweet baby. I am so blessed to have this family! I look at Abby everyday and get a little teary at how lucky I am to have her in my life.

Not so sure about being left in her bouncy seat.

Queen Fussarella after her meltdown would only fall asleep in this position.

She is holding on to guy's finger for dear life.

She is just the sweetest thing!!

Sh loves her baby einstein play gym.

She is really starting to get big. She has the most adorable fat rolls on her legs and arms.

She is trying so hard to hold her head up.

This past Saturday it was about 80 degrees so we all sat in the sun. I think I had Abby out for a little to long...she had a little sun on her cheeks.
Abby was worn out from playing in her bouncy seat. The only time she will take her pacifier is if she has been having a meltdown.

Guy's parents were Abby's third visitors. We were so glad they came to see the baby! They were such a big help to me so i could have a little break.

A little update from Abby and her Mom. My hat goes off to women who go back to work!! Abby is a great baby during the day, but around 9pm this possesed child comes out who does not want to be asleep. She will have her eyes closed almost asleep and then wills her eyes back open as if she is going to miss something. We have had many nights up every 30-45 minutes to eat or change a diaper or rock or just stare at the ceiling. She really likes Jack Johnson so i am putting a cd player in her room. I had no idea how hard it was to take care of a baby. I am still breastfeeding, so guy can't really help at night. We don't do much during the day but nap, eat, and change diapers. I am amazed at how many diapers she goes through in one day. I understand why people told me to sleep while i was pregnant.....I don't think i am ever going to sleep through the night again. Although it is hard I can't express the way i feel at three in the morning when she has been screaming and starts to fall asleep, she gets this little smile and she will hold my finger until she goes to bed. I am just so happy to be her mother.

I kept saying she looked like a gloworm. you can barely see the light, but this was her phototherapy blanket for her jaundice. needless to say she hated it.


hanging out in my bouncy seat looking really yellow from my jaundice.



Jodie was our second visitor. She was so sweet to come and visit. Abby really liked her godmother.

BB saying goodbye to Abby. I thought i was going to have a panic attack when she left, but so far we are doing just fine. I do call her everyday with questions and updates.

BB with Abby( who is screaming her head off) very early in the morning.
BB was our first visitor. She was such a big help!!! Abby kept us both up all night the first night.
