A baby on the go

This is sweet girl at about a month- on our way to church for baby dedication

Anyone who knows our family, knows that we are an on 'on the go family'! We don't like to sit still for long. Wyatt was a pretty go with the flow baby, and slept through the night by 3 months. I never really stressed about sleep training or anything like that. Some how he just did it!

So far McKinley has also been a very good go with the flow baby.

between 7 and 8: wakes up for the day/nurses

9/9:30: we load up in the car and she will fuss for a couple of minutes but normally falls asleep.

**she will sleep on and off- nursing in between until we get home for the afternoon.

1:45- nurse her and put her down in crib for a nap.

**Sometimes this is a long nap- 3-4 hours. Sometimes this is a 1.5 hour nap.

5 or so: nurses again and we load up to go out to dinner.

6/6:30: cat naps

7:30 getting ready for bed/nurses/ and put in crib

sometime between 3 and 5 she wakes to eat and goes right back down.


So for 2 months, she is doing great! I just worry that when she gets older, she may not be as go with the flow and to be very honest, she is going to have to be. Wyatt is going to be at school three days a week and with taking him and picking him up, well she will just have to be flexible. Is there anyone out there that has made this work? Any tips?

All night long

As I sit here pumping in bed at 3:30 in the morning, I wonder how I got my little one to sleep all night long in his crib! I'm watching wiggle and move on the baby monitor and thank God that he can now sleep all night with no help! Me on the other hand, well I'm trying to keep that milk supply up and create a supply for when we go out of town. When will my days of All Night Long come? - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

We all need friends

I remember almost a year ago when a good friend of mine invited me to a lunch group, Friday's at noon. At that time in my life I needed it! I needed to get out and meet new friends, other ladies with children about the same age, going through the same thing. This was a life saver for me. I am not a very outgoing person and it's hard to make friends when you don't have a full time job. Long story made short.... I made some GREAT friends in that group. As all good things to do though, things changed, people moved on and life became a little crazy for all of us. So the lunch group is starting up again and even though some people have left, we have some new faces to get to know! Wednesday a couple of us went out for a ladies night out and it was great! Two new people for me to get to know and I feel like I have made two new life long friends. It's so refreshing to just have a night out with the ladies and yes, we may spend the whole night talking about our babies and what t...

First trip to the ER

Image
Yesterday was a day of firsts! First time to try to potty training and first trip to the ER. Here is how we ended up there..... He woke up feeling good and we had a nice start to potty training! He didn't eat a lot of breakfast but some days he does and others he doesn't so I didn't think much about it. When lunch time rolled around he still didn't eat. He then became very cranky and uninterested in the potty thing so I let my dad take him up for his nap. He normally goes down pretty easy but today he didn't. He said that his tummy hurt and couldn't get comfortable. He finally fell asleep but didn't stay asleep long. He moved all around and cried out a couple times then finally woke up. He was NOT himself. He cried and wanted to be held. Then all of a sudden he would be fine. Then minutes later he would say his tummy hurt, then drop to his knees and cry and move around trying to get comfortable. It was so sad. My parents wanted him to spend the night si...
