Getting on a Routine

Things have been settling down and we are starting to get in a bit of a routine. For the past 2 nights, Audrie has slept in the play pen/ bassinet next to the bed and not with me at all! Hallelujah! She continues to wake me up every 2 1/2 to 3 hours for feeding during the night. She is a hungry little girl! We have uped her ounces of formula and we think it is helping. It is hard to know how much to give a baby to eat. I decided to completely give up on the breastfeeding. It was just too much. Hopefully with our next child, we wont have the same complications and I will be able to breast feed successfully! 

We bought an activity gym Wednesday.. She isnt sure about it yet and she isnt sure about tummy time either. Sometimes she seems to like it and other times she cries. I am sure as she gets older she will like them. Same thing with her bouncy seat and swing. She really only likes those if she is really tired and asleep. She loves her car seat and usually sleeps in it during the day even if we are going anywhere. 

On Wednesday, Audrie, Lynzie and I went shopping. We went to the mall, burlington, sams and target! Whew! It was a fun day. Lynzie is 41 weeks pregnant--we were trying to help her go into labor. It was unsuccessful. Lynzie is being induced in the morning at 7 am! We are so excited to meet baby Adalynn. Adalynn and Audrie will be 19 days apart! We hope they get to be good friends! It is very fun to have a friend to be pregnant with and to have newborns with! 

So glad to be getting a little back to normal. GT and I went on a date last Saturday while Grammy kept Audrie. It was very fun and refreshing. We love forward to many more dates!
