I have a new respect for single moms. Or moms with difficult babies. I wish I would have helped moms out more when I didn't have a baby of my own.
I went to bed at 7:45 last night. It was glorious.
This little gal has some hilarious facial expressions. She's also given us a lot more smiles lately. Haven't caught any on camera yet.
I feel like I can't get nothing done. I seriously started this post 3 days ago.
I didn't anticipate how much my back would hurt from bending over all the time.
I feel like I'm always nursing. Seriously, all the time!
Nursing has been one of the sources of greatest stress. Have had a few problems with it that I won't go into detail about but have been in touch with a fabulous lactation consultant and we are getting things worked out.
A few days ago I got slammed with some baby blues. It hasn't been too bad but there will be moments where I just feel so sad for no reason at all. It really helps me to get out of the house and be around people.
I never knew how enjoyable a trip to the mall could be. Austin and I went yesterday and I was so happy to be walking around Target.
Adelyn still hasn't figured out nights and days yet. Hoping that will come soon. She likes to be alert and awake from 2-5ish.
We went to church today. Adelyn made it through the whole service without even a squeal! She was in that coma- like sleep so she wasn't even phased by the music or loudness.
I think I said this in my last post but I can hardly ever answer the phone. I feel bad because I constantly miss calls from people I really want to talk to but I am rarely hands free right now and when I am, I just want to sit and zone out. But at the same time, my world has shrunk quite a bit so talking to people helps me step outside of baby land.
My in-laws are here today to help out. My father in-law is currently outside helping Austin mow and my mother in-law is currently holding Adelyn and keeping her content as I scramble around trying to get stuff done. It's nice to have someone to just baby hold for a while!
I need a nap.
Some Daddy-Daughter time.

She likes to fall asleep with one arm up sometimes.
Here is a video of Tummy Time if you're interested. (Or click on the picture below)
Cutest outfit ever!

A onesie that Uncle Will bought Adelyn. Yes, it says, "That's how I roll"
I was sneaky and got a picture of Daddy pushing the stroller through the mall. He wasn't too excited about that.
