Happy 3 Week Birthday, Evie!

Miss Evie is 3 weeks old as of yesterday. No, I didn't have the time to update yesterday. The cold is making it's rounds. Miss Evie is still a little congested, but less time each day. That makes life a lot easier. Suctioning her nose out isn't fun for any of us. I feel like I am on the tail end of it and Pumpkin got it full blown. He actually went out and bought DayQuil, which for those that don't know him...well, that means he's pretty sick. He is taking a nap right now with Evie, so hopefully everyone will wake up happier and more well rested.

Today has been a big score for Mommy! I put Evie to sleep while fully awake and she went to sleep on her own...well after sticking her paci back in 20+ times and playing Josh Turner while running the washer. She loves her "white noise." :) The doctor wants us to continue this, so that Evie sees her bed as her bed and not US as her bed.

And 4 black trash bags later...a friend at Stephen's work gave him 4 black trash bags FULL of baby clothes. I worked my way through them last night and this morning and found SO many cute things. Bri and I will have the best dressed babies in the area!

Until next time...

Sickness...

Miss Evie has a cold. :( I was up with her last night and finally gave up in putting her back to bed. Normally she is on a 2 1/2 to 3 hour schedule from feeding to feeding during the day and on her own schedule during the night, but after hearing her so miserable, we ended up on the couch with me feeding on demand. Since she is congested, we have to suction out her nose before each feeding, something she doesn't mind too much as long as she isn't too hungry and anxious to feed. I feel a little bummed about giving up the routine last night, but mommy instincts kicked in and I felt like it was the best thing to do for now. She is doing better today, all the congestion (ie mucus) has turned clear as opposed to yellow, so I'm hoping she is on the tail end of it. Only in "Mommy World" do you pay this much attention to the color of snot! :)
