Sorry...Been FOREVER!

Ok, so "mommyhood" has taken over my life, for the better! Not to mention that my laptop no longer lets me connect to our internet so that's also aided in me not being able to check ANYTHING and be TOTALLY cut off from the "online-world". I apologize for not tryin to update this sooner but ya know, having a now almost 3 week old, no internet, and a hubby who is very busy, it's trying to even get to brush my teeth daily and wash my face! haha...
Shelby will be 3 weeks old tomorrow (Friday)! Soo hard to believe! She has changed soo much in these 3 weeks! She's sleeping fairly well, for a 3 week old, but recently has been collically in the evenings, which breaks my heart to hear her cries of pain. We are doubling up on the Mylicon drops in the evenings and that helps some and just holding her all swaddled up. She's still breastfeeding VERY WELL every 2 hours now, so I'm exhausted from that, BUT I know it's what's best for her! I'm not even getting the time to pump in-between feedings but that's ok. I'll cross that bridge of needing that supply when we get to it.
Each day is a new day with her and a fabulous day. Yes, I've had SEVERAL, ok, MILLIONS, of meltdowns in these few weeks but I just pray and ask God to give me guidance and strength and courage to do what is best for this precious life He's soo graciously given to us. It's amazing to watch her. She's soo much more alert now and her eyes are open a lot more. She's also now 8 lbs (or more; that was a week ago)!! She's filling out quite nicely and has those adorable little creases in her arms and legs now! haha..
Stacy, from Cloud Dust, took some fabulous pics of her this week and we wanted to get more but she was fussy and now that she's almost 3 weeks, she wasn't wanting to sleep as much as she used to, but the shots she got I think are wonderful!
