3 Months  

Posted by Amber

Craziness - my baby girl is already three months old!  It seems this past month has brought lots of new things. 


Henlie finally made the transition out of preemie diapers into newborns about a week after turning 2 months.  We'd tried moving her into them because she was having so many blowouts, but they didn't really fit around the legs, so she still had blowouts.  We bought two more packages of preemies, and at the end of those, we tried newborns again, and this time, they worked :)


She can still wear most of her newborn clothes, but she's also been able to wear a couple of 0-3 month clothes, including about the only dress she owns in that size.  This is good since we finally went to the full block of church on January 27th. Mostly, it was only going to be Whitney and Connie at primary, so I said I could at least go to help get primary started.  Matt took her to Sunday school, which he missed most of because she didn't want to sit.... then he brought her to me for the last hour of church.  She did really well.  However, can I just say that I dislike 9am church even more with a baby? ugh.

Last time for newborn clothes
 
Her smiles have become a lot more social.  She's a daddy's girl.  All he has to do is come home and say, "Hey, Baby," and she gives him the biggest grin.  She also smiles for Grandma Biggs.  In the last week or so, I can also get her to smile for me.  So cute!

I'm pretty proud of this picture :)

We still don't really do tummy time, but she's definitely starting to get her exercise in.  When she's being held upright, she'll sit up and balance her head.  We've done this some, along with me laying her on my chest at an incline so she'll hold her head up.  She's also getting pretty good about holding her head while I pull her into a sitting position.  She sometimes even likes to push with her feet, which then I'll let her stand for a few seconds.  She thinks this is all great fun.


She is also discovering she has feet.  When I was taking her three month pictures, she would look down at her feet and just watch them as she'd kick and such.  I'm not certain she knows quite what to do with them, but she is finding them to be rather fascinating :)

Hey, Mom! Look at these!

Henlie's baby book has a page to record her height and weight each month.  The doctor told us we could bring her in for a weight check whenever we wanted at no charge (we'll see if the no charge bit is accurate :))  Since we don't own a scale and they are always the ones weighing her anyway, we went in for a weight check on her 3 month birthday.  She's up to 7 lbs. 15 oz.  That's a full pound heavier than she was at 2 months.  However, that still doesn't put her on the growth curve they'd like to see, so we left the office with a new regimen to try. Dr. Fullmer has us adding some formula to her bottles.  She's supposed to get about 21 ounces/day, about 3 ounces in 7 feedings.  For half of those, he wants her to take a bottle, to which 1/3 scoop of formula is added.  In theory, this would increase her caloric intake by 10 percent each day.  I felt pretty awful over this, and wasn't fully positive I wanted to try it.  Her weight has been the only concern since her birth, but she's healthy and happy.  She's alert, growing, and learning.  Just not growing according to what statistics dictate she should be.  However, I figure we can at least try it this month, and we'll see if it did us much good at her 4 month appointment.  Dr. said we could revisit it anyway.  He said if it doesn't really make much difference, it's probably just her genetics are on the small side.  I tried for a week pumping half of the time I'm home with her, but it hasn't been productive.  Not to mention, all I do this way is feed her - pump, make bottle, feed her, burp her, let her top off at the breast because my pumping was less than ideal.  Ugh.  I gave that up. :)  I still work three days a week, and she gets extra calorie bottles whenever she gets a bottle.  I'm just not putting for the extra effort to create more bottles for her. 


Can you believe my baby is already 1/4 of a year old?

Hadfield Christmas Party  

Posted by Amber

The Hadfield Christmas party was held on Saturday December 29th.  Dad purchased a four-wheeler this year, so we had fun playing in the snow on his and John's four-wheelers, sleds, and tubes.  Matt and I took John's four-wheeler around the field, and then they convinced me to drive it too.  Matt pulled me around in the tubes.  It was fun, but I had a hard time keeping my butt off the ground!  Then I piggybacked while Dad took Matt around on the sled.  I'm just disappointed I looked forward for a few seconds - and those happened to be the few seconds we lost Matt :) Ah, good times :)

Learning about John's four-wheeler
Me, Matt, John, Larry
 

I was done with the snow before Matt - and Mocha was done before me!  It was fun to watch her and Paisley run around and around, though. Speedy little herders :)  I was smart and brought dry pants to change to :)  Then we mostly hung out with family and had yummy soups for dinner.  Grandpa gave a lesson, and Grandma doled out gifts.  Henlie now has a Christmas night light and a stuffed Koala named Kayla. (Yay for alliteration, although I'm not certain how I feel about this Koala having the same name as her future aunt :))

As always, we had a wonderful time playing and visiting with family :)

Christmas Day  

Posted by Amber

Santa arrived rather late to our house, but still before anyone really woke up.  Thanks to last year's uber broke Christmas, our Christmas remained rather downsized this year - which was super nice.

Presents!
 
Stockings! Mom's was too heavy to face outward... I'm also glad Santa was able to find individual cereals this year.  It's a tradition from my family - although then we got the little boxes instead.
Also, that Baby's First Christmas stocking was mine from when I was a babe :)

I wanted Henlie to get something on her first Christmas, but at only 1.5 months old, she's not really into toys.  She doesn't really need new clothes at this point either.  She did get a couple of things though, both traditions that I want to do with her - an item for her hope chest (she'll also get one at each birthday, so by the time she's ready to move out, she should be well set) and a Christmas ornament.  By the time she is 18, she should end up with 36 (Grandma Erdmann has the same tradition for her grandkids apparently :))

Henlie's presents

As for me and Matt - Matt got me the Stig's book.  Matt got much needed clothes (a new white shirt and some black dress socks), a model motorcycle, and a drumset ornament.  We also got a new set of sheets, also desparately needed.  Our one set had holes, and then the flat sheet of another set got a nice rip thanks to one of our clawed friends.

Daddy and Henlie with Dad's Christmas presents.

Since Curtis and Jackie were with her family in the morning, we did sibling gifts and lunch at 3pm at Matt's parents' house.  We went over earlier though and had yummy carmel cinnamon rolls (our favorite!).  We hung out and checked out the new goodies.  Then we got to eat and open presents!  We are always spoiled by Matt's parents.  However, I think Henlie and Charlie were even more spoiled!

Grandma Biggs and Henlie
 
Devan and his gift from us - Starcraft 2
 
As always, we had a wonderful Christmas.  Now I look forward to the years to come and watching Henlie get excited in anticipation and watching her open presents! Kids make holidays even more exciting and fun :)

2 Months  

Posted by Amber

Yes, I promise to still blog about Christmas - but since Henlie will be 3 months soon, I figured I should write her 2 month post :)

Her second month was my last one home full-time.  I started work on the 2nd of January, and she turned two months on the 4th.


 Good news - she grew!  Bad news - vaccinations.  Poor thing went right to sleep before we'd even made it out of the doctor's office.  Those leg shots aren't nice.  She also hated it when we'd rub her legs down to help the bulges decrease and help the medicine disperse.  Since we'd been using infant gas drops, she did the oral vaccination like a champ, though.  She stayed pretty groggy for a couple of days afterward.  I kind of felt bad; after her appointment, I pretty much had to drop her off at Matt's mom's house because I had to work.  I think for her 4 month appointment, I may take the day off. (More shots :p)

She began smiling some smiles that weren't gas-related, but no full-on social smiles.  She even began self-soothing at times. (Thank heavens! Funny - when we were trying to breastfeed, I pretty much forbade her from chewing on her fist and would instead offer a binky.  Mostly it was because her hands would always get in the way when we were trying to latch.  Now I'm so glad she'll suck on her hands!)

She'll speak to us - her little coos and noises are so cute!


She also started getting some neck muscles.  We fail at tummy time (because she HATES it), but when we're holding her, she'll try to lift her head.  She also does better if she's laying on our chests.  That's as close to tummy time as we could get without her immediately screaming.  Poor girl. 

As for her vision, she began tracking objects.  That provided some entertainment for us.  We'd move and watch her track us, but more fun is when we're holding her and she's looking at something. I like watching her eyes stay fixed while I sway :)

She did gain weight, but she is gaining slower than average.  Being small and a preemie, she should be gaining faster than average.  Since she was eating every 1.5 to 2 hours most of the time, the doctor actually told us to hold her off until 2.5 to 3 hours so she will be able to get more milk quicker, thus not expending more calories than she is taking in.  Other than that, she was perfectly healthy.  Her height and head circumference were right on track, she's just a bit too skinny.

Her stats: 6 lbs. 15 oz. (0.03%), 21.5 in. (5%), and head=14.25 in. (6%) (That means her headbands nearly fit! lol) 

She's still in newborn clothes, however. Although, on her 2 month birthday, I put her in one of my favorite little outfits - and it was tiny.  I snapped pictures and packed it away after it was washed.  Exciting - but kind of sad too!  However, that and some socks (which she never wore because I didn't know I had socks so tiny! :p) are the only things she grew out of.  And her hat from the hospital.  All other newborn outfits still fit - we'll see for how long!)

The first outfit she outgrew.  Also taken on her 2 month birthday.
 
She is also still in preemie diapers (okay, she was at 2 months - but anything beyond that date goes on the 3 month update!)

2013 Adventures  

Posted by Amber

I'll finish blogging Christmas later, but I figured it appropriate to share our adventures with 2013 while they're still fresh. Yes, it's only January 4th, and already, 2013 is turning out to be quite adventurous.
We didn't stay up to ring in the new year. Henlie was asleep before midnight (yay!) Matt had a bit of a cough, and by the next day, it was apparent his luck had run out and he was sick. (He'd had a cough like he was getting sick a few days prior, but nothing came of it.)
He wasn't too pleased about getting sick on his last day of vacation. He is also none too pleased about contracting the flu when he received a flu shot this year. Since he was sick, we hung out on the couch pretty much all day watching Star Trek Voyager on Netflix. He kept his distance from the baby and me. Naturally, this is a day when Henlie decides to be super needy, constantly eating and fussing. I only got a couple of things accomplished, and that was only because I'd put her in the sling, much to her dismay. It's hard taking care of the baby on days Matt isn't home, but it's more annoying to single parent when he is home, but he can't help. :(
Later in the evening, Matt really wasn't feeling well. He decided he wanted to go to the hospital. (You know it's bad when he's actually telling you to take him to the hospital.) So I started putting things in the diaper bag to get Henlie ready to go when Matt tells me he can't move and to just call 911 instead. I'm getting so good at calling them....
While we're waiting for the ambulance, I called Matt's mom to come help with Henlie. It's great she is so close, available, and willing to come over at the drop of a hat.
By the time the ambulance arrived, Matt had mostly regained control of his muscles. The EMTs checked his vitals and said it was likely caused from either dehydration or hyperventilation. They also said to go into the hospital for a breathing treatment if it happened again.
I ran to the store to get some Pedialite for him and to grab some more diapers for Henlie while Mom stayed with him and the baby. On my way to check out, Mom called saying it was starting to happen again and Matt wanted to go in. He decided to wait for me since I was only a few minutes out.
When I got home, I left the car running and headed upstairs. Mom stayed home with Henlie while we went to the ER. I parked next to a median that was covered in snow and told Matt not to fall...and then I promptly slipped on black ice. :)
We got all checked in and taken to a triage room where we waited and Matt snuggled up under a heated blanket. We finally saw the doctor who concluded Matt had bronchial spasms, which caused hyperventilation, which caused carpopedal spasms (which is what the clenched hands and feet is called). He had to take a call, during which Matt had another coughing spell and threw up a couple of times. They gave him nausea medicine and prescriptions for an antibiotic, just in case, nausea, and cough syrup.
When we got home, Henlie was asleep. We talked with Mom for awhile and eventually made it to bed. Matt got some sleep thanks to the drugs. Who knew this was a perfectly normal flu side effect? I guess we just wanted to get a head start on 2013's medical deductible. Needless to say, Matt stayed home Wednesday.
Wednesday was also my first day back at work. It went okay. I only pumped once since I was going to leave early, but I should have pumped the second time because I didn't get out of there as quickly as I was hoping. Mom and Michelle watched Henlie all night since Matt is sick, so I picked her up on my way home that night.
Matt stayed home again Thursday, but started improving. I didn't work, but Henlie was much kinder to us, actually taking some naps. Tuesday, the most she slept during the day was about 20 minutes around 6 pm. Ugh.
Today, Friday, Matt made it to work. He's still sick, but doing better. Henlie had her 2 month appointment and got her shots. She's doing okay at the moment. She slept once I got her in her carseat. And I get to go back to work today....oh the joy. Maybe we'll get lucky and the rest of 2013 won't be quite so exciting :)

Parties Galore  

Posted by Amber

*side note* "Galore" is a funny looking word. :)

'Tis the season for Christmas parties! I didn't attend my work party this year (Thursday, Dec. 20th) in part due to having Henlie and mostly because it was McKade's birthday that day and the family went to Denny's for dinner :)  My breakfast dinner was so tasty :)  

After dinner, Matt and I headed up to Orem.  We stopped at Target to get a card and gift card for a friend of mine who had gotten married that day.  Then we had to stop at Petco because Mocha was running out of food.  Matt also got her some new toys (squeaky tennis balls that fit her mouth size well - she loves squeaky things!)  Then it was up to see Katie at her wedding reception.  She was so pretty!  I know she and Rob will be super happy as they start their new life together :)

We didn't stay, but Matt did snag a hot cocoa for the trip back to Payson where we watched the BYU bowl game at Lynell's and had cake and ice cream for McKade's birthday.  Mocha was pretty excited to get to come, too!

Friday, Dec. 21st was supposed to be the end of the world thanks to the Mayan calendar.  Really, the cycles of the calendar just reset on that day, but whatever :)  It made for some entertaining memes and posts on the internets.  It was also the Winter Solstice, so we had didgeridoo meditation night/end of the world party/McKade's sleepover party. We got to Mom and Dad's just after sunset to hear the last of didgeridoo mediation, courtesy Curtis.  Then it was time for dinner :)  After dinner, we all got to hang out because the sleepover didn't start until 8pm :) Fortunately, McKade was eventually convinced to start early, so we started watching Monsters vs. Aliens around 7pm and had popcorn.  Jason, Camile, and Charlie also made it over partway through the movie.  They also brought a selection of movies, so after the first movie, it was put to a vote and The Karate Kid (the new one) won out, much to McKade's dismay.  I was so sleepy at the end, and Henlie and I dozed off.  The movie ended around 11pm, and we came home.  It was funny.  We didn't sleep over and neither did Jason and Camile, but between the two of us, we had a whole bunch of stuff!  Guess that's what kids do to you ;)  I'm glad Jackie and Curtis slept over so McKade had someone at his sleepover :)  We did go back Saturday morning for breakfast, though! (And to see the ring......Devan proposed to Kayla Saturday morning - and she accepted :)  Next addition to the family will be made official sometime in May.  We're so thrilled for the two of them!)

 That afternoon, we met up with my parents who were in town for the secret Erdmann Christmas party.  Mom was going to cut my hair Friday, but the scheduling didn't work out.  We cut off over 8 inches of hair.  I'm going to donate it via Pantene - mostly because I wanted it shorter and I had that much hair, so why not?  I really needed it cut because it was so long that all I had to do was look down (not even bend over), and it would be in whatever was in front of me.  (When you're changing diapers, this isn't a good thing.)  Now I don't actually have to pull my hair all back to do stuff!  While she had the stuff out, she also gave Dad a haircut :)  Then we visited some more before we needed to start getting ready for Christmas parties.

 The Covalt party was in Provo at 6pm.  I wanted to stop at the store on the way, plus take stuff to DI (finally - it has been sitting in the kitchen and collecting more stuff forever!)  We left early but opted not to stop at Walmart on the way.  We did, however, go to DI.  It was so slow that they only had one lane open!  Yay for me loading all of the boxes earlier in the day into my trunk ;)  It's nice to have the floor in the kitchen back :)  We were still early, though, so we stopped at Fresh Market and picked up things we needed for the next couple of parties since we won't have shopping days really before Christmas.  Then we headed over to Grandma's.  We were the first ones there besides Sharon, who had been helping with dinner :)  We didn't stay very long since the Erdmann party was at 7pm, but we did get to visit with people, meet Lisa's fiancé, and let people see Henlie.  However, the party hadn't actually started by the time we left.  Highlight of the party?  Seeing Charlie get so excited when she would see McKade :)  She loves him :)

The Erdmann side hasn't done a Christmas party in years because Grandma is a serious worrier and stresses out waiting for people to arrive.  I guess we could have told her we were having a party this year because there was no snow or ice in the parking lot - much safer than the last party. John and Trish were in charge of getting Grandma and Grandpa there, and they succeeded well.  We got there about 7:20pm, and everyone was excited to see Henlie.  I loved getting to visit with Natalie and Lindsay too.  I'm pretty sure I haven't seen or talked to Lindsay since she got married..... in the summer of 2010.... yeah, fail.

Grandma Erdmann and Henlie
 

Tracy and Carol's family did a program of the Christmas story and we sang carols waiting for Santa to arrive - which he did.  He was a pretty awesome Santa too.  It was really nice to visit with family we rarely see while eating tasty food :)

Henlie meeting Santa for the first time
Listening to Santa teach about the true meaning of Christmas
My Grandma Erdmann sitting on Santa's lap
 
I didn't manage to get the picture, but Santa totally kissed Grandma on the cheek, which prompted this response from Grandpa:

 
To which Santa replied, "Mrs. Claus allows it." lol

We gave all of our grandparents this year a picture of Henlie.  Grandma and Grandpa opened theirs while we were in line to get food, apparently.  However, Grandma, suffering from dementia, reopened it later while we were sitting down.  I love her reactions, even if they'd already opened it :)

Grandma also was continually overwhelmed during the dinner.  She kept telling us that everything in the room belonged to them (family members, that is ;))  She also stood and told us all how much she loved us.  She also bore her testimony and told us all to stay close to Heavenly Father.  I love her.  It's kind of sad to think my grandparents are getting old and that they may not be around for very long.  We really need to make a better effort to visit them all and enjoy the time we still have with them before they're gone.

Sunday, we actually made it to church.  We only stayed for sacrament meeting, though.  It was so nice to be back and to visit with people :)  Good news - we haven't missed tithing settlement.  We signed up for right after church this coming week. 

Sunday evening was the Christiansen party.  We had a tasty dinner while visiting, and then we headed downstairs for some awkward family updates and gifts. 

McKade on the iPad, Charlie, Devan, Kayla, Jennifer, and Matt
Michelle, Henlie, and Lisa's fiancé Todd :)

Monday was Christmas Eve, which is the annual Wilson Christmas party.  It gets shorter and shorter each year since most of the grandkids are grown up and don't prepare something for the "program." (This usually consisted of singing a song or playing an instrument.)  I have enjoyed the "pass along" gifts Beardalls instigated a few years ago.  White Elephant style - but no game, just passing until someone decides passing should be over and we open them.  And then there is still trading :)  This year we ended up with Swiss Miss and Marvel hand and face wipes. 

After dinner, we sang carols.  Grandma Wilson held Henlie while I read the Christmas story as Koreen played Silent Night.  After we sing Silent Night, it's time to open presents.  Caleen failed to bring Henlie's present :), but Koreen and Steven got her something as well.  Since she is the youngest, she got to open hers first.  They gave her a dress for next year (12 month size) and a 3 month jumper.  She is now fitting into her newborn clothes at almost 2 months old, so hopefully by the time she gets to 3 months, she can wear her 0-3 month clothes :)  I got some lip gloss, a sagittarius necklace, and a little bagpipe playing lego man.  Matt got a 2 litre of Mountain Dew and some kitchen utensils. 

Rebecca with the gift we got her - wings and a wand
Apparently Cody really wants to go shed hunting, so he got all sorts of "sheds" to wear :)
Elisabeth sporting the sparkly bowler that was one of the pass along gifts.
Mocha modeling a bow that found its way into the diaper bag.  Right after I got the picture, she knocked it off.  Talk about timing :)

After presents, we loaded up and headed home.  We got home with lots of time - which is so weird because I swear when I was little, sometimes we wouldn't be done until 12am.  At least, not before 10pm :)

The Hospital Stay  

Posted by Amber

Really, I think this post is mainly to share more pictures :) 

I kept Henlie in the room with me the entire time, except for when the nursery needed to take her to check vitals and whatever else they do.  Dr. Fullmer, our pediatrician, stopped by on Monday to check her out.  He said everything was great.  The only thing we needed to worry about was keeping her warm.  Since she was three weeks early, she didn't have time to add the extra fat to keep her insulated, and since she was already tiny, we didn't want her using up what fat stores she had in order to stay warm.  After that, she came back from the nursery with two blankets, instead of just one :)
Once, the nursery kept her for an hour in an incubator because her temp was a little low. Other than that, she stayed with us.
 

With the bow Daddy picked out :)
 
We had lots of visitors.  Mostly it was Matt's family, but some ward members stopped by too.
Henlie and Aunt Jennifer
Notice how tired Matt is in the background :)
Henlie and Uncle McKade - who is smiling
(remember when he found out she was a girl? not so happy then.  We're glad he changed his mind about having another niece :))
Meeting cousin Charlie
(Grandpa Biggs in the back, Jason, and Camile)
Aunt Camile and Henlie
 
Someone recommended using a blanket you could take home to get the dog used to her smell, so we used this little moon and stars blanket for Mocha.  Also, my in-laws were great about taking Mocha to their house.  She freaks out if she's left along for long periods of time.  Matt would go home in the mornings to feed the cat and the bird, and to grab things that we didn't bring with us the first night ;)

 
Let's see - being able to order from the hospital menu was pretty nice.  Although on Tuesday, I was busy nursing her when the deadline to order passed, so I just got whatever was being served, but it was still tasty.  They let you order way too much food, too.  I tried to work it so Matt could have some too (they give the spouse a voucher for one meal in the cafeteria is all), but he didn't take me up on it, so I really had too much food.  Tasty, though :)

When Dr. Fullmer said we needed to keep her warm, they not only double-wrapped her, but she got a cute little beanie made by the volunteers at the hospital.  One of my nurses mentioned they are usually too small, but this one fit quite nicely on my tiny baby.

Fortunately for me, I already had Monday off of work.  It was supposed to be my first week back in Orem editing, and Jan had scheduled me for 32 hours.  I sent her a text with a picture saying, "So, I won't be making it in this week after all."  We had a good chat after that.  And then another one since Ray had sent flowers to the Orem office for me, Jan, and Shannon.  Jan got them to send them down to the hospital for me instead.  It was sweet :)

I was able to move around a bit on Monday.  Tuesday was even better, though.  Yay for being able to get out of bed :)  Although, when you can move around and start feeling better, you can get pretty stir crazy.  I took some photos, listened to some music on Matt's laptop, and took a shower.  That was probably the best part - aside from going home that is :)

After my shower and getting ready to go home. The robe was from Camile - and it's great :)
Grandma Glory made the blanket :)

Tuesday was the day we checked out.  We asked how early we could go (didn't know if it had to be a full 48 hours or not), and they said as long as the doctors said we were both good, we could leave whenever.  Dr. Fullmer checked in on Henlie on his lunch break and cleared her.  Dr. Dewey was supposed to have swung by Tuesday morning, but never did.  Around 2pm, we had the nurses page him.  He called into my room and we set up to meet at his office on Wednesday morning, so I was good to go.  Then it was just a matter of the nursery and my nurse going over stuff with us to be discharged.

Mom and Jennifer came to help us carry all of our stuff out to the car.  Even though we came with very little, we ended up going home with a lot!  The nursery nurse came and discharged Henlie.  The billing office came to explain our bill.  Poor girl, I was nursing when she came in.  I didn't realize she wasn't from Labor and Delivery at first.  (You get used to just nursing in the open....)  Finally, Bonnie (my last nurse - she and Tylene were my favorites) discharged me, and saved Jennifer.....

You see, Jenn wasn't doing so hot.  She went to use the restroom and passed out.  I ran out and got Bonnie, who came in and checked on Jenn.  It took her awhile to be able to smell whatever awful thing they make you smell after that.  Jenn didn't even remember it happening.  We both got to go out in wheelchairs :)

Per Matt, "Photos, or it didn't happen."
Getting ready to leave.
Tiny baby in a carseat.  We have since added a rolled kitchen towel to support her head more.
 
It was cold, but there wasn't any snow (which was good, because I totally only wore my slipper socks to the car).  We got everything packed in, got the carseat put in correctly (Matt initially had it in backwards :)), and headed home.  Unfortunately for us, Matt still had to go to school, and he only got to be home with us for a little bit before he had to leave.  It was a really lonely night for me.
Made it home!
 
Matt's family ended up keeping Mocha that night.  Matt also had to stop by Jason and Camile's after class to borrow their bassinet.  I had ordered one after my last shower on Saturday, but since she came Sunday, it wasn't here yet.  They were so nice to let us borrow theirs for a few days! 
 
I'm pretty sure we ordered pizza for dinner that night.  We weren't sure how late we would be getting home Tuesday, so we didn't have anyone bring us food that night.  It's okay.  We like pizza in this house :) 
 
Since then, we've been growing, learning, and adjusting.  I honestly don't know how I'm going to make it back to work in three weeks.  It seems like when I think we have a routine going, she changes it.  Or (as of late) her routine ends up being eating for 30-45 minutes, napping, getting a diaper change, and starting over again every hour.  Explain when I'm supposed to pump or do anything else on that schedule :)  Oh well, it will be another adjustment, and we'll get used to it, I'm sure.  Just have to find more time to pump....
