6wks and growing

Well we left off with Wednesday - just before Aedyn hit the 6 wk mark.

Thursday was a nice day, Aedyn and mommy went to visit Ms Barbara and had a lovely lunch and chat. Aedyn was asleep most of the time and was such a good little girl.

She had a pretty nice evening - with a bath. Then came a rough night at bed time, Aedyn was so not going to go to sleep easily. Not sure if her tummy was upset or what, but we tried everything to sooth her and nothing worked. It was well after midnight when she fell asleep. I woke up to her stirring about 455am - I was so freaked out it had been well over 4 1/2 hours since she ate! I got her fed, and we laid down in bed together for a few hours and then got up for mommy's doctor appointment.

It seems that after all those hours of pushing, i pulled some ligaments in the very lower area of the back - I have been having trouble sitting and getting up from a sitting position for weeks now. Chiropractic visits were not helping this area at all.....and now I will be heading off to physical therapy to work those ligaments back into a workable condition and hopefully the pain of sitting and getting up will disappear soon.

After the visit - we headed over to visit our friend Lori and her new born son Jake - oh is he the most handsome little guy! Aedyn got her first kiss from Jake too :) He was born a week ago today at a whopping 8lbs 10oz! I think he gave Aedyn a little lesson in eating a bit more, for the first time ever she ate just over 3oz!!! Oh yes, Jake can eat 3-4 oz per feeding already.

Last night daddy took feeding duty all night - he is a great husband and a great dad! I did wake up with every stir she had, but it was nice to get some really good sleep. She ate very well last night too! I hope she is having a growth spurt. She is getting quite long and skinny. I know she is gain weight and doing well.

Today was a pretty somber morning and afternoon. We did go to target and babies r us today - all shopping for Aedyn, diapers and formula and returning some unnecessary items. However since we have gotten home, she has been in quite a tyrate with the crying and screaming. She has a clean diaper and a full tummy - so we are not sure what is going on, maybe just fussiness and overly tired.

So I am off to spend the rest of the evening with daddy and Aedyn - hopefully she will settle down and sleep well tonight.
