Nana and Grandpa

my world - six weeks tomorrow.
everyday is dejavu - feed, play, sleep... although, my world is pretty
much without the sleep!  Why?  not sure... not for lack of trying that's for sure!!

Dray went to Chicago on Monday - will be back tonight.  I had to call
in the big guns!  :)  Thank God for Nana and Grandpa.

I will say - remember being hard-headed... well, it seems to 
still be here!  Nana did everything she could to make sure my life was easy -
why can't I let go - at least just a little bit.  I've never been one to be paranoid, 
have to be in control at ALL times, major schedule follower (who would have thought),
second guessing myself - second guessing everyone else, getting frustrated if
things aren't done the way I want them to be... yes, this is me now.

getting better?  a little - at least I think :)
just when I think I've got it down things change - normal?  I'm sure.  do I like?
not so much.  I use to say I love change - change is good - keeps you on your toes
and mixes things up... now... I'm all about routine.  Will this phase end?  yes.  when?  hopefully soon!!  it's hard when I look at that cute little face and want everything to be perfect for her.
I mean really - how cute is this...


I know - right!?!

Everyone says enjoy it now for this phase will pass - WAY too soon...
I think about that everyday... I see her personality, her expressions, her smiles and I wonder what kind of person she's going to be.  the infant stage is definitely a wonderful experience (no matter how much I complain or get stressed - I wouldn't change it for the world) -
my little mini-me.


sleep... one would think a newborn would be sleepy - nope.
Brynleigh likes to take cat naps... a lot of them!
just when you think she's asleep - she's wide awake and wants to be held...



and of course... momma holds her!!!

She's getting bigger - her cheeks are starting to get pudgy, which I love!
the feeding thing - still figuring it out!  We've started 3 bottles a day - half BM and half formula... she's seems to be doing well... although she never seems to be full - don't know where she puts it - is she going to be one of those who can eat anything and never gain???  HA - not with the parent's she has!!

she loves her Nana... and yes, Nana loves her!


I really need to take more pictures... I seem to miss a lot and very rarely get to capture a picture like above... note to self - carry the camera at all times!!

  1. haha...adam and i say everyday is ground hog day! about the change thing- yeah, just when you think you've got it all figured out/it's all working according to 'schedule' guess what...yep, it changes! it use to drive me bananas. now i'm used to it. and with age, the changes don't happen as often. and the being in control/wanting everything to be perfect...that was me at the beginning too. not so much anymore. about the not letting anyone help...that wasn't me. you need to work on that! =) love the update...keep em coming!
