Even with all of these questions, I was so excited to start out lives with baby Annabelle! So off we went! We walked into the house, the dogs greeted us just as usual which was a bit worrisome because the are a bit 'excited' when we walk in. I head their collars and Ty held Annabelle's car seat. They did exterememly well. They check her out and immediatly backed off! I was so happy!
WIthin 15 minutes of having her home, we had her in her crib and started to settling in. We realized that we had been yelling back and forth from her room and she didn't stir at all! We had the best baby ever!!
I'm assuming this is normal for most babies, but Belle had her days and nights all mixed up. I was a little worried it would be this way forever! And when she did fall asleep, I woke her up every 3 hours to feed her. Most people thought that I was crazy for waking a sleeping baby but I was concerned that sense her blood sugar had been was low in the hospital, I didn't want her to go too long between feedings and risk a drop. The problem with this plan was that once she was awake to eat, she didn't want to go back to sleep! We spent a lot of time roaming the house trying to get her to sleep. Ty even discovered the show 'Alf':)
Other then the mix up of sleep/wake times, we realized that we had been blessed with an easy baby. She breastfeed well, loved to be cuddled, and only really cried when hungry. Not to mention...she was adorable!
