Home Alone

Jordyn and I are home alone! Daddy has gone back to work and Grandma Beer left us yesterday morning. It was wonderful to have her here to take care of everything so I could just enjoy my time with Jordyn. It was also great to just hand off my squirming little daughter when I wanted to nap in peace. Jordyn and I will definitely miss Grandma. The past two days have been going pretty well with just the two of us. Jordyn has her days and nights mixed up so she sleeps a lot in the day giving me time to get a few things done but then she's up all night. I'm trying to break her of that habit but it's slow going. I feel like all I do is feed her, change her and put her to sleep but it's great to have so much time with her. Next week I go back to school and I will miss being with her. I have one class a day for about an hour and since I'm nervous about leaving her with a babysitter Daddy will be watching her during his lunch break for a week or so. Please pray for us as we adjust to that new schedule and that I still have time to eat and sleep in between school and taking care of Wayne and Jordyn. It will be an adjustment but we are praying that it will be a smooth one.

For other news, Jordyn had another doctors appointment on Monday. The doctor said she looks great and didn't even have to have her biliruben level tested again because she has lost all of her yellow color. She has also gained some weight bringing her almost back to her birth weight. She is now 8 lbs 6 ozs which means she has gained about an ounce a day in the last week which is great. I was ready to give up on breastfeeding since it's hard and seems like that's all I do but after hearing that great news of her gaining weight I have found a new strength to continue. Jordyn is full of life and tons of fun. I wish all of you could meet her and get a chance to play together.

Finally, I know that many of you are still requesting pictures. We seem to take tons but don't want to post every picture we can. I will try my best to keep the blog updated often and full of pictures but please understand if I don't post to often as life has made a complete turn around for us since our baby. Let me just tell you a little bit about these pictures.

The top picture is of Jordyn sitting in her boppy pillow. She loves to be propped up and sitting on her own! The first two pictures below are of Jordyn on her first walk with both her Daddy and Mommy. Jordyn loves to cuddle and her Daddy is the best at comforting her, except when she's hungry! Lastly, is a picture of Jordyn with Grandma and Jordyn after she has been swaddled by Grandma. She loves to be wrapped up. Hope you enjoy these!
