It's funny.....every week I think to myself "I did it. I made it another week." One tough day leads to another tough day, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel! It seems like the Prevacid is helping her. She is starting to seem more happy FINALLY. She is still not going number 2 on her own. I have to give her a suppository daily to help her go. I've been researching different options but am scared to introduce her to juice and more medication. I am going to try mixing her formula with Gerber Soothe. It has probiotics in it and has helped other babies with the issue she is having. She still isn't doing a whole lot yet. Her belly button fell off last week, and I'm trying to get her on a schedule. I have used Baby Wise for my other kids so I'm going to try that with her as well. It's a great system in which you put them on a 2.5-3 hour feeding schedule. I haven't been able to do any schedule because she was so fussy until now. We have determined that she LOVES to be swaddled and won't sleep soundly without it. One step closer to a happy baby! She also loves a pacifier, but she gets frustrated because she can't keep it in her mouth so it becomes annoying because she fusses when it falls out. I try to put her to bed awake so she can make herself go to sleep, but she won't without her pacifier. Then it falls out and she wakes herself up again.

Madeline had her newborn pictures today at Sweet Pea Palace Photography. Although this was a long drive for us (2 hours) the photos are going to be wonderful. Here are just a few I snapped while she was working. The shoot took over 2 hours and while it looks like she slept the whole time--I could only wish. It was a lot of feeding and caressing to get her to close her eyes for each portion.

We have found that Madeline has a hilarious pouty lip whenever she isn't happy about something. I tried to capture it here. If she keeps that up she will get whatever she wants :)

This is the 1st outfit that Duane and I bought when we found out we were having a girl.
