Day 8

I'm feeling good. I have a lot more energy and just generally feel better. For breakfast I had my Kashi cereal with soy milk and a glass of white grape juice. I had a banana for morning snack.

Sit up and spit up

Well, today Maddie reached an important milestone. She was able to sit up without support for the first time. It is amazing how she can just wake up one day and be able to do something new, like she just learned it over night. It's like she finally realized she has the back strength to hold herself up without resting on her arms.

On another note, her spit up is driving me CRAZY. I have done everything the doctor told me to do. I have changed her formula 3 times and switched to the Dr. Browns bottles. It is not getting any better at all. I am going to have to ask the Dr. to put her on meds or something, I can't deal with this anymore!

Movie Day

I took Maddie to see her first movie today. We met up with the girls from our playgroup at the "Cry Baby Matinee" It was the one where moms can bring their babies. We saw "The Nanny Diaries". I had read the book several years ago and have been wanting to see the movie. I was a little nervous about how she would do. I thought she would either be fussy or fall asleep since it was during her usual nap time. I was so surprised that she was so good through the whole movie. She didn't sleep, she just sat there and watched it. She really enjoyed it. It was a lot of fun. So after we got home mom and dad came over to see her and she was not in a very good mood b/c she was so tierd. She just kept fighting sleep even though she needed a nap so bad. So, now it is 8:30 and I FINALLY got her to go to sleep and everyone else left to go to the mall and I am all by myself and have peace and quiet and I LOVE IT. It is so good to be alone in the quiet sometimes. I am drinking a glass of wine listening to relaxing music and am about to take a long, hot bubble bath! Something I rarely get to do anymore.

My 1st Bento

So I finally made my first bento lunch for Rob! I am so proud of myself!!

First taste of food

Maddie got her first vegetables today. I started her with sweet potatoes. She loved it, she kept grabbing the spoon from me and trying to shove it in her mouth. She couldn't get it in fast enough.

Maddie's first Longhorn game

So Maddie got to watch her first UT game tonight. She was all ready for it and dressed up in her burnt orange cheerleading outfit. She loves watching football with her daddy.

My husband's so great

So I was like a zombie yesterday after going pretty much all week with no sleep. When Rob came home from work he told me I looked like I'd been ran over by a train (I felt like it). So he told me to relax and he cleaned the kitchen, gave the dog a bath, cleaned the living room, and folded laundry. Then when we went to bed he told me to sleep and he got up with Maddie all night when she woke up. Then when she woke up this morning, he took her and changed her diaper and fed her while I slept in........so sweet! I don't know what I'd do without him!
