7 Weeks old

I can't believe how fast time goes by. Paige is a little over 7 weeks old now and growing every day. I need to update with more pictures I know. They will be coming soon.

Yesterday- I went to San Francisco with Chelsie to look for prom dresses. I pumped a few bottles and left Paige in the hands of her father. I was a little nervous to travel so far away from her (It would take me an hour to get home if I needed to), but he is very capable. I think he was excited since I have only left her with him to go to the movies (once) and the store for a few minutes.

Justin is handling most of her nights. We do trade off, but since he has not been working he takes the majority of the load. She is sleeping with him on the couch, or with me on the couch. I did put her down last night in her crib and she slept for about 45 minutes. I think we need to learn the difference between her sleep sounds and her real cries. I am waiting on a book that we ordered. Hopefully it will help with the sleep thing. But at least she is going longer intervals without food at night. Usually 3 or 3 1/2 hours at a time. We are also looking into the Amby Baby bed. It is a hammock bed that makes the baby feel secure, but will also rock/move with her movements. If you know anything about this bed, please feel free to share with me. The research I have found say it is really good for her because she is a restless sleeper and moves a lot. But I don't know if I want to spend $165-$230 on something that will only last about another 6-10 months and may not work. If only I could rent one test it out.

Well- that is about it for now. Stay tuned- her 2 month check-up is on 1/24.
