Baby girl!

It's hard to believe that Allie is already a month old. How awesome is that? She is eating every 2 to 3 hours, and about 3-4 ounces at a time. She is still fussy and gassy. I go for my 6 week check up on Monday and she goes on Wednesday.

We are going to have our Christmas pictures made this Friday. We met "nanny" at the mall today and we got Daddy and Logan a new shirt, I already have one, and me some pants. I had to try them on and I fell great about the size. I don't remember the last time I was a size 14. It feels pretty dog gone good.

I just need to keep it up. But, I've been eating sweets and some carbs since Allie was born. I've just got to keep up with my "diet" and walking.

Logan is home from school now, so I'd better go!

4 weeks old

My how time flies. Allie is 4 weeks old today. She'll be a month old on Thursday. Hard to believe. We took her to the doctor on Friday. She has acid reflux. She is taking Zantac 3 times a day. It has helped so much. She isn't crying while she feeds anymore. She still screams her head off when she has a poopy diaper. Which isn't a bad thing. Maybe she will potty train easier that way.

I went Christmas shopping today. I didn't get anything. With me not working and my unemployment stopped until I go back to the doctor, things are tough right now. Bill are coming first. Which seems to be a never ending process. It seems like we get one paid and two more come in. But I am not going to complain. Things could be worse. Alot worse.

I got a call from someone who had my resume and told me to call when I was released back to work about a job. Full time. I hope it works out. I hate to leave Allie, but I'd rather be working and helping out with the bills. It just makes things easier when both of us are working.

By the way, here is Logan and Allie with Santa. Her first, his 9th time. I have another to add, but will add that one later. Can you believe she is awake for this one? The other one she is asleep with Santa and Logan is shushing. Sooo cute.

Trade in

I feel like ranting.
I'd like to trade in my husband. I felt like hitting him with something this morning. He went to bed at 10 o'clock. I tried, but as soon as Allie laid down, she started squrming and getting fussy. Eventually she started crying. Its like she has a favorite spot to sleep and that's that. Anyway, she was fussy until around her next bottle, at 2A.M.!!!! She was sleeping so I actually made it to bed around 2:30. She woke up at 6:30 wanted another bottle, which is good. 4 hours of sleep is so nice. Anyway, Bo gets up and says how tired he is, and that he didn't sleep good last night.

See my reason?

Now on to good news. We took Logan and Allie to the mall yesterday to see Santa. They took 2 good pictures. One she was sleeping and Santa was acting like he was asleep and Logan was shushing the camera. The other she had her eyes open. Omgosh, it was so cute. I already have one as my desktop. I've got to get the other one on here today.

Well, that's it for now.

A simple sandwich

How can a simple sandwich like peanut butter and jelly make someone so happy? Try going 8 months without one. I love them. Now that lil girl is here and I can eat "normal" again, I've eaten them for lunch quite often.
Monday Allie will be 3 weeks old. Hard to believe. I can start back walking on Monday. Like I haven't been walking for 3 weeks. I mean for exercise. We'll just have to do it before supper instead of after like before. With the time change and all, it gets dark around 5:30 and we eat around 6:00.
Allie has had several trips, to church, Wal-Mart, the Quintard Mall, and to Logan's school the other night for open house. I love how everyone says she is so pretty and that she looks like me. Dang, I didn't know I was so cute!!!! LOL!!!

Logan and I were suppose to go see Madagascar 2 today, but Bo had to work and we couldn't go. I don't think he is upset about it. Maybe on Tuesday we can go. He'll be out of school for the holiday. Mama will surely keep Allie for us. I think that goes without saying.

I've been thinking of putting some cereal in her bottles at night, so she will sleep longer. She has been getting up every hour and a half to eat at night. And I can't get any stupid nipples that won't leak so fast that the formula runs down her neck. I found some and they are so small that she can't get the milk out. She feeds for 20 minutes and gets about an ounce.

I wanted to wait until she was at least a month old like Logan, before we done that. I'm sorry if the doctors don't like it, she is hungry and I am exhausted. Something has got to give. Logan is none the worse for us feeding him cereal in with his milk. He is a "normal" 8 year old.

Well, she's a grunting and groaning. Motherhood calls!
