So aparently I am not so good at blogging... or keeping it up! I am doing pretty well journaling. I am keeping one for me and also one to give Bailey when she is an adult. My memory got so bad while I was pregnant but it is starting to get better -slowly! I still feel the need to write everything down that I want to remember ..just in case!
Bailey is the cutest thing I have ever seen (No, I'm not biased at all!)! She makes me smile all day even when she is crying.. she has the cutest pouty face! The colic is definitely getting better and we are getting into a routine for the most part. The only complaint I have is she wants me to hold her pretty much ALL of the time. She doesn't like to be put down for long (10-15 mins tops usually) and she doesn't like to be held by other people for long (including her Daddy). It is very hard for me to get anything done this way but I'm hoping this will pass! Holding her is the only thing that keeps the screaming away so for now this is my life!
She has been so smiley for about a week or so now.. I LOVE her smile! The best feeling is first thing in the morning when I say good morning to her and she just smiles all over herself! She is also cooing and making all kind of noises now! Sometimes I swear it sounds like she is saying "Hi". She squawks too which is adorable! She has been doing that since birth but stopped during her few weeks of constant screaming so now that it's back it's super cute! She can still get on a screaming kick but for the most part if I am holding her or talking to her she is fine. Now to just get her liking other people, her swing, playmat, etc.. we'll be in business!!! One step at a time!
I don't have much free time where I have use of my hands to clean the house, cook, sew and all the other thing I like to do such as showering...haha... so I rush around and do as much as I can when she's napping or when I put her down for the night. I try to get an hour or two of things done but I can't do that everynight b/c then I am one tired Mommy the next day!! She has started some what of a sleep routine at night but it's not completely consistant yet. most nights she sleeps 4-6 hours the first stretch, wakes up to nurse and falls back to sleep for another 2-4 hours then up again. At this point sometimes she'll go back to sleep in her bassinet but sometimes I move her to the bed. Then another 2-4 hours later she's up again to nurse then I lay her next to me in the bed (usually when Patrick leaves for work) and we snuggle for a while and sometimes nap before getting up for the day! Because she's a night owl (like her Mom and Dad) and since I don't have to put her on a schedule for me to go back to work she doesn't usually go down for the night until sometime between 9-11 and then we don't get up for the day until 10-11am. I would like to get up a little earlier in the morning but right now sleep is more important and since we don't HAVE to do anything with our days it's ok! This time with her will go by quickly so I am trying to enjoy every moment of it!!
Well time for this Mommy to get some sleep since Baby has been sleeping for 2-ish hours already!!
