After the Bath

She just cracks me up...She is so nice when she gets a bath. However, she has some places she doesn't want me to get clean. She clenches her thumb in, and lint gets caught there it's so hard to get her to let me open it up. Addie also doesn't like it when I lift her arms to clean her arm pits. I am embarrassed to say there was one crevice that was collecting lint. I am learning now I am aware I make sure to get these spots she likes to hide.

All Tuckered Out

We've gone on several outings over this past month. Our first outing was to the MD, and I must admit so have most of our others. However, some of my favorite outings have been to get a dollar ice cream, and we also took a trip to apple hill. She was so good. She slep the whole time. Tim looked so cute he strapped on the baby bjorn, and she slept on his chest as we wandered around. What an angel we have. I am a bit spacy, and left the bottle of pumped milk on a bench. My mom would sing Addie the song you are my sunshine, and so I found this magnet for her birth day gift. I think the better gift on my mom's birthday was that Adeline rolled over at three weeks from her stomach onto her back. We are so proud, but she's only done it three other times. We are trying to get it on video so everyone will believe it. But after all of these outings, or just an ordinary day we get a bit tired as you can see.

One Month Old

Wow how time flies! Adeline is growing so fast. It is so exciting! Just a few things to note: at first she would not sleep anywhere except in our arms this is improving now that I swaddle her very tight. I thought she didn't like it she would cry and wanted her hands right next to her face, but she actually loves to be swaddled just hates the process of getting it done. She loves to take baths, and go for rides in the car. It seems she always sleeps more when we're out and about. However, her sleep habbits are improving I believe becase of the swaddling. Nursing is going good, but I think she is having a growth spurt and I am not producing enough milk. I have a prescription to try and increase my supply. I have been pumping too it seems almost impossible to get anything done. Tim does almost all of the cleaning, and cooking except last week I started to cook. Today I have actually been able to get a lot done. So I think I am getting the hang of things.

This post is after much request from family and friends. I hope you all get a good laugh.

Visitors at Home

How fun it has been as I have been stuck at home to have so many people visit. Some of the ones who have traveled the farthest have been my MOM, MINDY, and KRISTEN.

First Sponge Bath

She was really good for her bath. As you can see it took three of us. The reason we all look so bad is because it was our first night home, and we were worn out. I think she got a little cold. We had to bathe her like this for about three weeks; until her umbilical cord fell off.

Coming Home

We got to com home on the 9th. So Adeline and I had to stay three days in the hospital. We were lucky enough to have Tim there each and every day and night. He would get her and bring her to me in the night and during the day so I could feed her. He changed more diapers than I did during the hospital stay...because I was bed ridden. We were also lucky enough to have my mom there to help.
