Eat.
Wake.
Sleep.
Repeat.
That’s our life right now… Violet’s 1 month old and everything revolves around not necessarily Violet, but rather feeding of the boobie monster. She’s textbook perfect as far as newborns go… predictable (THANKS to the book Babywise!). She eats 8 times a day, followed by awake time for 20-30 minutes, then down for a 2-3 hour nap. We wake her up to feed during the day and we let HER wake US up at night. The longest she’s slept in 1 chunk was 5 hours, but usually it’s between 3 and 4 hours at night. Can’t complain!
I realize this post is probably pretty boring for all the not-yet Moms out there, but to the already-Moms (and especially those with newborns, too) how does Violet’s schedule compare? Similar to your babes? I’d love to hear. : )
I have so many friends that are using essential oils, so I thought I’d give them a try… so far so good. I’ve enjoyed reading about them and, of course, they smell fantastic. I especially love that my little kit came with a diffuser so the whole house can smell as good as my body does.
still working on thank you cards… our goal is 3 a day.
where sweet little Arrow spends his days. Here or on that pouf watching the squirrels.
* I am breast-feeding… the formula is just a vehicle for her vitamin PRN
she began napping in her crib during the day this week. doing awesome as long as she has on her baby straight jacket (aka swaddle) and white noise blaring.
Sarah cooked up supper last week! So sweet of her…
and it was delicious… Salmon with a pineapple marinade.
