Magic

Well Ive figured out 3 things that really work well for Morgan

1) Gripe Water-it gets rid of the hiccups instantly! The only place Ive found it around here is Babies R Us but Im sure other places have it too.

2) Car seat-she sleeps so much better in it (thanks to my wonderful hubby for trying it out)

3) the word shhh. If she is fussy all you have to do is softly speak the word shhhh right in her ear and its like magic to calm her down.

Hope some of these will work for other parents.

I have added a link on the left side of her gallery from Mobile Me. I just uploaded a lot of new pictures for her 1 month. Feel free to check back and Im constantly adding new pictures to it.

5 weeks

Morgan has now reached the 5 week mark and I must admit that week 4 was probably the toughest week but well see what week 5 has in store for us.

The reason I say week 4 was so tough was I thought we had Morgans schedule all under control and then comes the 4 week mark and bam wham everything changed in the matter of hours. We went from having her sleep 8 hrs to sleeping in 1 hr spurts which was tough I must admit.

Last night she slept for 6 hrs and I thought I was in heaven I must admit, sleep is just well so very important. We both need our sleep but its amazing how even though you can be sleep deprived you somehow figure out how to function and its all worth every single minute and I wouldnt change a thing!

Morgan is definitely going through a growth spurt and with that growth spurt have come many, many more fussings than it seems like we got before 4 weeks but we are taking it day by day. Another thing Im still trying to figure out is her daytime schedule which I feel like Im trying to read up on everything just to figure it out. She is nursing about 10-15 minutes each time because she wont eat anymore usually and Im trying to get her to go   every 2 hours right now and work our way up (it was every hour). Then her naps are very, very short at 30 minutes to an hour at max. If anyone has any suggestions feel free to share.

We got our proofs back yesterday from the professional photographer and they are AMAZING! We are going to wait to show everyone until the birth announcements are sent out and then I will share all of them. We got the proof back on our birth announcements today and they should be back hopefully by next Friday or early the next week. I cant wait to see them in person we did something very different with lots of pictures. We are also going to finally redo the blog with pictures of Morgan and our little family. Here is a teaser pic for now :)

Eight hours!

Morgan has always been a wonderful sleeper since the night we came home sleeping from 6-7 hrs usually and one night was 5 hrs but that was the lowest amount she slept. Well the past two nights she has really amazed us and slept last night for 8 hrs 20 minutes and the night before for 8 hrs and 22 minutes. I am amazed of this little girl! She is really starting to get a schedule down (not quite exactly but we are getting there) and Im so happy!

Here is her schedule :) Also we got the app for the i-Phone called Baby Connect which has been wonderful. While she is nursing or playing I can record it in and it takes no time at all!
