One Month Old ... Oh My!

I can't believe Brianna's a month old already! Time's gone by way too fast, particularly when your days run together like mine tend to lately. I'm starting to feel like I'm figuring out the whole mommy routine but then there are days when her reflux kicks in and nothing I do seems to help the poor thing. We're heading up to the doctor's office tomorrow morning for a weigh in and to start her on Zantac to see if that will help. Hopefully, that will ease the discomfort for her and make it easier on all of us.

Since I didn't get a Pic of the Week posted last week, here's a double installment.

Week 3: Surrender

This was one of those days where she couldn't fall asleep because of the reflux and when she finally did, this was how she slept. What a sweet baby! Too bad it took so long for her to settle down and get to this point.

Week 4: My First Outing

Justin and I have a weekend tradition of going to Panera Bread for lunch on Sundays. Since it was a beautiful spring day, we decided to take her with us and get out of the house for a little bit. Daddy dressed her in her little jeans, her "my black dress" onesie and her pink OSU beanie and socks. She was perfectly behaved and didn't fuss a bit in the car or during lunch. Altogether, a successful first trip out into the world for our little baby.

She had another first this past week ... her first bottle. On Justin's day off, we decided to try giving her a bottle and see how she'd do with it. Plus, I really wanted Justin to be able to feed her on occasion when he was home so he'd get some more time with her. They both did great and made me so proud!Brianna also got to meet her cousins, Bethany and Addisyn, again and spend a little more time with them. Aunt Amanda and Uncle Josh stayed the night with us and spoiled both Brianna and I. Bethany kept asking if she could hold the baby so we were able to get some good pictures of her playing "mommy". She kept telling anyone who would listen that she would be 6 when Brianna turns 1 since they share a birthday. I think she was pretty happy to have someone to share her birthday with!
Well, she's waking up and needs her mommy so its time to go.
Love you all,
Lucretia
