Just a month ago I felt overwhelmed and hoped everyday that I was doing the right thing as a mommy for Marlee. I was so excited about being a stay-at-home mom, but accepted tons of responsibility for all that happens with her. I am so thankful for the classes we took before birth & reading all the books/online info that I could, and I am grateful for the weekly e-newsletters from Pampers, the Bump, etc. about week to week info of our new baby girl.
She did have a weak appetite yesterday after 2 shots on Monday, had green, leafy poop, & slept for 7 hrs straight! But she got her appetite back at 4am :) and back to normal poop!
Marlee is now a more calm & mellow baby...her crying overall is very low, and it's been weeks since she just cried to the top of her lungs w/ no break & sometimes for what seemed like no reason. Before it seemed like she was always crying, on the boob, or asleep (often at the boob as well). Knowing now that this is how it is makes us more confident, along with the fact that she seems to be progressing so well. No one can prepare you for how much newborns cry...no one. But it's been a great experience & we love her more everyday!
She is now close to 12lbs...that's a gain of almost 5lbs in less than 3months! She's (we're) on an EAT, PLAY, CHANGE, SLEEP, CHANGE daily schedule (for the most part), and she's sleeping at least 4-5 hours straight at night in her own bed, then I feed her while rocking her, and she'll go back to sleep in her bed, and I will usually bring her in our bed after Dave is up for work after 6am. Before 2 months old she was in the bed with us most of the night. I'm so proud of her (us)! Love watching her grow!
BTW...she's into size 2 diapers now and officially too big for all of her newborn clothes!
