Four Weeks?!?

I just can't believe that my baby is 4 weeks old already!! On one hand it seems like an eternity since she was born, but on the other I remember delivery like it was yesterday. She's growing so very quickly. Time really does fly!


I feel bad that she's already this old and I've been so negative almost the whole time she's been here. I mean it hasn't been easy, but I could atleast TRY to be optimistic about things. I suppose that this should be a lesson and I should try to be more positive about things from now on, but I can't promise that. Things have been going okay, so we'll see.


Jayna began taking a bottle once a day from Chris last weekend. She's doing well with it. At first she didn't like the fact that the flow from the bottle was so slow. She was confused about why she wasn't getting the same amount of milk from the bottle as she was from me. Beginning on Tuesday, she began taking all 3 ounces from the bottle. The previous days she got frustrated and gave up.


She's already outgrown a heaping stack of clothes. There are even a few things she never got to wear. How were we to know that she'd HATE footed sleepers?? And I mean hate. She now wears gowns and she sleeps alot better. Almost all of her newborn clothes are too small! Luckily I saw that coming and would dress her everyday and take pictures of her. Atleast I have the memories!!


I haven't been posting my small victories...I'll update for one week tomorrow. There have been some pretty big ones...like getting my scrapbook table cleaned and ready to go. That one was HUGE!! I feel sort of bad for taking the time to do it, but I know once I get into making things involving Jayna that I will feel like my time at that table is justified. I know, I know...I NEED to take time for myself. I know that. And I do, but that doesn't always mean that I don't feel guilty about it or feel like there is something else more important that I should be doing.

Four weeks!!! I just can't believe it. In only 2 weeks, she has to go to the babysitter everyday. I'm not sure how I'll handle that. I guess we'll find out together...

Wow, I can't believe it! Seems like we were just coming to visit the other day when she was born!!!
Hard to believe Jayna is 4 weeks old, and Layla is 4 months old on Monday!!!
Don't feel bad about all the negativity. You know all the emotions I went through. It will get better, I promise. I am living proof.
