Seriously, Mother?
I just spent 9 months "swimming" in water. I've only been free from that for 3 weeks now! Can we please discuss keeping me dry? I don't care how good you think I smell after!

Our Song
@walkingborderKaren Marrs I did NOT just sing a love ballad to my daughter, slow dancing in the dark while trying to get her to sleep. #never#itworked

Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons
Can't Take My Eyes Off You
You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off you.
You'd be like Heaven to touch.
I wanna hold you so much.
At long last love has arrived
And I thank God I'm alive.
You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off you.
Pardon the way that I stare.
There's nothing else to compare.
The sight of you leaves me weak.
There are no words left to speak,
But if you feel like I feel,
Please let me know that it's real.
You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off you.
I love you, baby,
And if it's quite alright,
I need you, baby,
To warm a lonely night.
I love you, baby.
Trust in me when I say:
Oh, pretty baby,
Don't bring me down, I pray.
Oh, pretty baby, now that I found you, stay
And let me love you, baby.
Let me love you.
You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off you.
You'd be like Heaven to touch.
I wanna hold you so much.
At long last love has arrived
And I thank God I'm alive.
You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off you.
I love you, baby,
And if it's quite alright,
I need you, baby,
To warm a lonely night.
I love you, baby.
Trust in me when I say:
Oh, pretty baby,
Don't bring me down, I pray.
Oh, pretty baby, now that I found you, stay..

Bottoms Up!
I am happy to report that my little bottom is completely healed! All signs of any diaper rash is finally gone! Also of note, I've also slowed down on the output function of said bottom. The doctor was right!

Sleeping
For awhile after momma and daddy brought me home from the hospital, every night when I was suppose to be sleeping, I would have a 2 hour period, where I just couldn't sleep and was very fussy. Momma tried everything to make sure I was comfortable and happy, but I was just fussy. Eventually, at the end of the 2 hours or so, I'd take a second bottle and finally go back to sleep so momma could sleep.
The past 2 nights, however, my fussy period was earlier in the evening while momma was already awake. She had daddy's help with me, but they still couldn't figure out what was wrong. Sometimes I just need to fuss!
BUT! Both evenings, after I stopped being fussy, momma would put me to bed and I did what she called, sleeping through the night.
On Friday night, I slept from 11:30PM to 5:45AM. But last night I slept from 11PM to 8:30 AM! Both nights I slept in my bouncy seat next to momma's bed. The first night it was because momma and daddy thought I was maybe catching the cold the boys and daddy have and momma said if I was, I'd sleep better if I wasn't flat on my back. But after I slept through the night, momma said something about maybe sleep training me to continue sleeping through, while in my bouncer for a few more nights, and then she would start putting me in my crib again to see if I'd continue to do so.
Momma and daddy don't seem to mind me being fussy in the evening. They call it heartbreaking and adorable. I get snuggled and kissed on while I sort out my emotions. Momma will walk around with me. Sometimes she sings to me. Sometimes she offers me more bottle. She lets me eat as much as I want, and doesn't get mad if I refuse to eat. She spends a lot of time with me over her shoulder patting my back. She tells daddy she wants to be sure I don't have bubbles stuck in my tummy.
During the day, I'm not sleeping as much. Well, I am, but I'm waking more often to eat. Momma says she wishes I was on more of a schedule, but she also says she is willing to feed me on demand. She says I'm still a little thing and that if I say I'm hungry, she'll feed me. Even if I only end up eating an ounce and go right back to sleep. She says she thinks, that I think if I'm awake I'm suppose to be eating. She says the schedule will come.
All in all though, I'm still a sleepy little thing!

1 Week Well Check
Momma and Daddy took me to the doctor yesterday! Not a whole lot to report about the visit. I came in at exactly 8LBS and 1OZ which means at 1 week I weighed exactly what I weighed when I was born. Everyone was pleased!
We all talked about my sore bottom. The doctor gave some advice on how to help it a bit, but said there wasn't much that could be done until I calmed down on pooping. He did confirm it was just a basic, but nasty, diaper rash caused by me pooping all the time.
After the doctor I got to meet my Nonnie and my family that lives with her! It was a special treat! I like when people play pass the baby! I get extra snuggles. I like snuggles.
I slept ALL DAY yesterday. Momma was scared that would mean I'd be up all night. But I wasn't. Even so, momma had something called a "headache" and daddy came down to feed me at 5AM. That was a special surprise. I like my daddy. By the time I was brought upstairs for the day, momma said she was starting to feel better. I'm glad. She looked pretty rough at 2AM. But she still loved on me. She called me good medicine.
Anyway, time to go back to sleep! I'm a tired baby. It's hard work being this cute all the time!
