We are the Millers

I'm not really sure where to begin here. My baby girl is already 7 weeks old. I can't believe how big she is getting already. I can't believe how much different she looks from when she was first born. I can't believe how much I am dreading going back to work. I can't believe how much love I have for this little girl. There is no such thing as a schedule with this little one. She has her early nights and her late nights. How much she sleeps during the day really doesn't have any effect on how she sleeps at night either. She sleeps when she wants to. I still have to give her some credit: she does sleep in 4 to 6 hour shifts at night regardless of what time she goes to sleep. Sometimes we think she is asleep so we put he down and she wakes up and then stays up for a while. The only way to really tell if she is sleeping is to try and scare her. If she sleeps through it, she's OUT! She scares herself a lot in her sleep. When she scares herself, she usually throws...

6 weeks old. I CANNOT believe it! The time is moving so quickly. Her schedule is worse now than it's ever been. She is awake late almost every night now. We don't generally go to bed until 2am, but then she still sleeps for at least 4 hours so we still aren't doing too badly. She still takes her cat naps but we are going to be trying to keep her awake more during the day. She usually gets pretty mad when you try to keep her awake but she will get used to it. We finally switched her to the soy formula. She still has some gas but it's not nearly as bad as it was before and she has pooped every day since we started the soy. She is still spitting up quite a bit but we are hoping that will stop after a while. I'm just so glad that she is more comfortable on the soy. She got her first real bath this week and she wasn't too fond of it. My Mom thought for sure that she would love sitting in the water but she didn't like it at all. She got used to it after a while bu...

5 weeks old today! What is going on? The time is just flying by way too fast. We have still been working to get this little girl on a schedule. We tried a 3 hour schedule but it just wasn't working out. Last night she went to sleep around 11 and didn't wake up until 6am! What a long night!! We are hoping for more nights like that. She isn't too terrible with sleeping. She still only wakes up once a night. The only tough times are when she decides to skip sleeping from 11 to 2. That happens about once per week. She usually takes one long nap during the day and then little cat naps the rest of the day. She is usually happy whenever she is awake but she still has her fussy time every day. She loves Grandma's house and she is almost never fussy while she is there! We still have some issues with gassiness and her pooping schedule is just all over the place. I can't decide whether to put her on the Soy forum la or not. I have had so many people telling me to try it, that ...

Ashlyn will be 4 weeks old at 6:09pm! I have no idea where all of the time is going but it's already been 4 weeks since I had my baby girl! We have been working hard to get Ashlyn into a feeding and sleeping schedule. She has been doing so well! She usually goes to bed pretty late, around midnight but then she doesn't wake up until around 4 or 5. It's nice to get 4 or 5 hours of sleep! I can't say it's solid sleep because she still makes a ton of noise while she's sleeping but it's still something. She still has her good days and bad days but she is still a happy baby most of the time. She gets extremely fussy after 7 but then usually calms down by 9 or 10. She sleeps much less during the day now so I'm sure that's why she gets fussy. I'll deal with her being fussy as long as she sleeps those 4 or 5 hours through the night! We still have some issues with gassiness and she only poops maybe once every other day. We tried giving her some apple juice...
