It has been so nice to actually enjoy these first 3 weeks with Caroline! So far she is quite the angel baby. She is a cuddle bug and loves being in her mommas arms. She sleeps, eats and poops and rarely cries unless she is hungry or needs a diaper change! Caroline is eating about 2-3 ounces 8-10 times a day from a bottle. Breastfeeding was not in our cards, so I am pumping alot and supplementing with formula. She does tend to get "fussy" at night but i believe its due to gas...bc she doesn't cry or wail for hours on end leads me to believe she does not have colic, just gas! Lets hope so! We do give her Colic Calm and that seems to ease her tummy troubles. So far Caroline is very "go with flow" and enjoys the car... again, hopefully this stays true!
3 words to describe Caroline at 3 weeks:
SWEET SWEET SWEET!!!
Trey has adjusted as i expected. He really likes Caroline, and always wants to see her first thing in the morning, yet seems to be upset with me. He is testing me in alot of ways and i'm trying to be as patient as possible and stay consistent with my positive reinforcement. We are doing alot of "charting" around here and that is one of the reasons Trey got to go see Winnie the Pooh: he filled his chart up with the right amount of stickers. He is feeling at little left out and we have tried to spend alot of one on one time with him to make him feel secure with our love for him!
I think he is also ready for Caroline to "play"...one day she was in her swing(btw: not a big fan of the swing, would much rather be on her back in the bassient or crib which is great we don't have to rely on a swing!!!) and he yells, "Momma she did something, she did something" I said, "well, what did she do" his reply , "She moved her foot"! So i think once she is "active" and ready to play Trey will be a great sport :)
Our hearts are so full, tired, but full of love for our two precious children!
