On the home front

It is so nice being home! Alison is an angel baby. She is so good! The only time she ever cries is if she's hungry and even then she will make little noises and fuss a bit for several minutes before she cries. She goes 3-4 hours between feedings (sometimes even 5 at night!) so we really have nothing to complain about. Ok, well if you want something, she has been known to fill her drawers and then while I change her she decides to go again...and we're not just talking pee! She went TWICE on me yesterday while I was changing her! I guess the good thing is she is very regular! :)

Molly is being a great sister. This morning I thought I would let her watch a show while I took a nap with Alison. She's already pretty much destroyed what she could, so I thought we'd be ok. Well she was so good and I slept for probably an hour before she came in...NAKED! Um, oops! Guess I should have changed her jammies! Live and learn, right?

Yesterday I bought a twin set of black sheets for my photo shoot! I will use it as my backdrop and see how things go. I wish I knew more about my camera and hopefully sometime soon I will. But in the meantime it's good to practice, right? So wish me luck!

I also bought a cork board bulletin board that will become the new bow board since the old one is well, too small. I figure with another girl we will only get more and more bows. And I also bought fabric a week ago for a car seat cover. I just barely washed it today. That's how much time I have on my hands! What am I thinking? Like I have time for projects! Slowly but surely I guess.

I am still supplementing Alison's feeds. I nurse her each time, then give her a bottle. And then I pump after every other feeding. So if you're wondering how I have no time even though she goes for 3-4 hours, that's why (and obviously there is a 2 yr. old involved...and you have to eat)! We saw the doctor on Monday and she weighed 5 lbs. 12 oz. The doctor said she looks great and they want me to come back again next Monday to check her weight again. At some point I will quit the pumping and just nurse her, but then she will eat probably every hour and a half, and I don't think I'm ready for that yet! Plus I am fortifying the milk she gets and I don't think they want me to stop that yet since they don't want her losing weight. That's where we're at...sorry that was long!
