I know I haven't posted in a while, and if you're a parent you know why. Any moments to myself go to catching up on sleep. Anything after that is prioritized based on immediate need, meaning Kaitlyn's needs of course.
The last couple of nights, Kaitlyn has slept through the entire night. We have yet to find out if this a short lived phenomenon or if it will be a regular occurance. I (and Dave) obviously vote for the latter! However, it doesn't keep me from waking up almost every hour to one of her little sleeping noises and get me wondering if she's going to be hungry at any moment and pop open those adorable eyes of hers.
Kaitlyn loves her pacifier, being swaddled and sleeping in her vibrating bouncer. She also loves to eat, spit up and play on the floor. She smiles and coo's and she's doing a great job of gaining strength in her neck, arms and legs. Lying on the floor, she looks like she could roll over any day. We keep giving her tummy time each evening to exercise her and tire her out. She also loves to take baths and look in the mirror while I wash her.
On a daily basis the regular Mom things apply - feeding, burping, changing and entertaining Kaitlyn, rocking her to sleep, cleaning bottles, pumping, and the all important napping. Luckily, I've managed to get a shower every single day since she was born, too. Laundry gets done, although not as often as it probably should. Some days we also manage to get outside for a walk.
Sometimes I even have time to put a new toy together. Today, I'm attempting to put together her new swing. We ordered a swing for her last week, and it arrived early this week. It's the first chance I have had to get it put together. We've discovered she loves her new Take-Along swing that Grandma and Grandpa got her this past weekend. She's done lots of sleeping the last couple of days in the swing. Now we'll have a swing for each floor of the house. How nice for me! I can get my Mommy things done knowing she's safe, secure and either entertained or sleeping soundly.
That's it for today. Kaitlyn just woke up and I need to change over the laundry. Hopefully, I can update you with more details soon.
