Week 3

We are starting to get the hang of things here. We have good days and tough days and I assume that's normal. Her tummy issues seem to be hit or miss and I've been on a vegan diet as well. I'm going to keep it up and see what happens.

Today I got the bright idea that I would take baby A for a walk at Brushy Creek park. That was a BAD idea! She was sound asleep in her carseat but when I went to snap it into the stroller I heard a poop explosion. I tried best as I could to change her without waking her up but that required the car door to be open. The cold air on her bum sure woke her up. I put her back in her carseat and she suddenly decided it was a torture device! She started screaming! This girl Really found her lungs today!

So, I took her out, coo her, rock her, tried to put her back in...SCREAM! I got back in the car and nursed her to sleep, tried to put her back in...scream! Suffice to say, I tried this over and over for about 45 mins. I even walked in a quick loop while carrying her but she wouldn't fall asleep. I finally realized we were not going to go for a walk after all. I tried to collapse the snap-and- go but was having a hard time...a nice older couple saw me and helped. I got her carseat back in the car and of course she screamed and screamed when i tried to put her in. So, I nurse and nurse, try again, more screaming! I decide to buckle her in and start driving but we didn't make it out of the parking lot...very very horrific screaming!

So, I pulled over, nursed her some more ( its the only thing that calms her down) ...this time I left the car running and got it really warm in the back seat...finally she passed out long enough to not realize she was back in the torture device and I made it home. This whole process took two hours and I only managed to walk in a quick loop while carrying her. Next time we will try to walk around close to home first...I thought I would never leave that parking lot!

Last night was rough as well. She woke up at 12 and wouldn't go back to sleep. She finally puked at 2 am, fed again, and passed out. I am one tired mama this week!

Today was the first time I've really had to deal with screaming. I guess we are pretty lucky here.. She really doesn't cry too much. She just grunts and whines when she is hungry and I never make her wait.



Okay this is long enough, here are some pics!
