How it's going

Hi all!
 Here are a few updates on what's been going on in our world for the past month...

Kit-Kat -
Our little girl has been doing good. The doctors appointments have been going well. Her next one is in a month or so. Mommy isn't looking forward to this one because she has to get her shots! I'm pretty sure it's harder on the parents than the children. It was hard enough when she had to have a skin tag tied off...the doctor was taking so long and Kit-Kat was screaming because it hurt and all I wanted to do was scoop her up in my arms and comfort her! She was all better once I started nursing her...that seems to make everything better. :) She hasn't been doing very much but her face has changed a lot since she was born and she is gaining weight. It's already been a month...man time has flown by already! Being up with her in the middle of the night just depends on how it's going that day. Sleep..cry..diaper change...cry..nurse...sleep...repeat :)

MM-
 I've been doing pretty good. Being at home is a definite change for me but it's good for me to do. I'm working on losing all the baby weight I gained. I have 20 more pounds to go! It's hard to exercise when you have to nurse every hour or so and you're trying to get things done around the house. It will be better once we can get outside and go for walks. I will say that it is VERY nice cuddling with Kit-Kat and Flakey during the day though :) Just knowing that you have a person that totally feels safe and warm with you is VERY rewarding.

My hubby -
 My hubby has been doing pretty good. He is on a volleyball team and is enjoying that even though they don't win very much. It's not all about that though...right? He has a good time. He is working full-time at CCCU and doing well there. He was in a commercial for his work and did a great job in it! I viewed it online. I haven't seen it on TV but my younger sis has! He has been doing really well with Kit-Kat and it is such a good feeling to know he is here and supports me. He's a good daddy! :) He always makes sure to say he loves me which is good to hear if it's been one of those sleepless, frustrating nights!

Well, right now this is how our life is going and I think we both are doing pretty darn good! That's all I have for right now...thanks for reading!

Baby girl is here!

Well folks...baby girl is here and she was born on her due date! It is so awesome to see her and know she is healthy and happy! We are still adjusting to the feedings and diaper changes. (we have had a couple blow outs so far!) I'll tell you what...breastfeeding is the best for baby if you are able to do it but it is challenging! I don't know if any of you moms out there have had this issue but the past few days there has been a time frame when baby girl just isn't satisfied with anything but nursing! I call her Elvira during this time because she is like a little vampire sucking like crazy! This goes on for a few hours ( 8pm-11pm) ...usually when I am ready to go to bed! (Go figure) I'm sure this is just a stage and she is growing so there is really nothing I am able to do about it but boy is it a challenge at times!

Another thing I'm trying to get through is where she is sleeping at night. I have been trying to  put her in the pack and play at night but she just isn't wanting to sleep anywhere but on mommy's chest! I know it is a bad habit to get into but when all you want your baby to do is sleep and you need to sleep it seems like the only option. If anyone has any advice on this subject...that would be awesome!

Well, that's all I have for right now...peace out for now!
