Week 2

We made it to our 2nd week!! We have had a lot of ups and downs. Madeline is very colicky and days are full of frustration and tireless hours of just trying to help my little girl. It's so hard to see her in pain. She is so innocent and beautiful and relies on me to make her better. After endless hours of research, I have asked her doctor to switch her from Zantac to Prevacid. I'm praying that this makes a difference for her reflux. She is constantly making sad faces and you can hear the bubbling in her throat. She arches her back a lot after eating and about 30 minutes after a bottle is when the fussing starts. You can just tell she is so uncomfortable. She doesn't sleep in her crib because she needs to be upright so we have a Rock N Play Sleeper from Fisher Price that has saved us. It's great because it vibrates and plays music too. I'm suffering from a bit of post partum depression. I had this after my boys too. It is the worst. You know you are crazy, and you can't control it.

Here I am-8 days old and Mommy finally got me to sleep. :) She definitely loves to be cuddled and soothed. She seems much happier when she is being held very close.

 

9 Days Old

 

My first trip to see my big brother Andrew play basketball. I slept through the whole game including all of the loud buzzers. I love to sleep in the car. It's the one place Mom can get a little break. We go on lots of car rides.

 

12 Days Old

 

I'm starting to like my bathtime a little more. Mommy has to drop warm water on my tummy the whole time, and then I'm happy. We have a towel warmer for my towels that I love getting snuggled up in my warm towels. I get a back at 7:00 before my big brother Hudson then we all read books together.

Here I am officially 2 weeks old! This is what my hair looks like once it's washed. For some reason it likes to stick straight up as soon as it dries.

and after it dries.
