This and that

The last couple weeks have been CRAZY!
I knew my life was going to change, but I didn't realize what a great change it was going to be.

I cannot believe how much love I have for this little person, that I only met a couple weeks ago. I love being Kalyn's mommy so much!!

There is so much to tell... so here we go!

* Kalyn sleeps like a champ! Our first couple nights home, she slept for 6 hours straight. Then I read that she needs to be eating at least every 4 hours and not to let babies skip feedings, so I have since been waking her in the night to feed her & she usually goes right back to sleep. I could not ask for a better sleeper, some nights she doesn't fall asleep until 3 am, but even those nights she sleeps in good solid chunks... Love it.

* Yesterday we finally left the house and went to Fred Meyer so the girls could meet Kalyn, if was wonderful to get out, but it scared the crap out of me to take her somewhere all by myself. It was rather uneventful, she slept the whole time.

* Kalyn loves the bath.

* Kalyn hates having her diaper changed (if I were her I'd be glad when someone changed me)

* Speaking of diapers... Curtis is a wuss when it comes to diaper changes, he always passes the poopy ones off to me, if he cant hang now, were in big trouble she starts eating solid foods.

* Kalyn is a PIG! I was/am having some breastfeeding issues (I'm not producing enough to keep Kalyn satisfied) So since day 4 we have been supplementing with formula. After nursing for an hour she is still hungry enough to finish off 2 ounces of formula. Now I know from pumping, that she is getting at least 1 1/2 - 2 ounces from me, so for those of you who cant do math... that would be 3 1/2 -4 ounces that she is eating every 2-3 hours. YIKES! At this rate she will be a sumo wrestler in no time.

* I'm having some issues "letting go" and have been letting Kalyn sleep with us... I know, I know, bad habit, but I feel so much better having her next to me. I've decided that I cant do it anymore so last night was her first night in her crib and amazingly we both survived it.

* Kalyn is looking more and more like Curtis everyday. Her complexion has REALLY gotten lighter and now I joke that I had a white baby. I was really hoping she would have my dark skin, but instead it looks likes all she got from me is dark hair, a double chin and chubby cheeks. Oh well, I love her anyway.

* I lost all my baby weight plus 4 pounds, but am quickly working on gaining it all back... I crave chocolate ALL the time. In fact I've eaten a package of swiss cake rolls and a pack of nutty bars while typing this. I thought the craving would go away after I gave birth... wrong.

Hmm... I guess that's all I can think of right now. I should probably go do something productive while baby sleeps...

I will post new pictures on facebook today.
