2 weeks

So in the first 2 weeks of being a mommy I have learned so much already. I was worried that I wouldn’t know when to feed her or change her and what her different cries meant. It’s amazing how fast you learn these things. I can already tell the difference between a cry that means she's hungry versus a cry where she is just annoyed and wants to change positions. I'll tell you what though; she has got me wrapped around her finger! All she has to do is this little whimper cry and I give in so quickly. It’s pretty funny too because sometimes she even yells at us. It’s a short loud yell. As soon as you give her your attention after she does that, she does a sweet little whimper. It’s so pathetic but she already knows how to work us. Anyways, she isn’t sleeping very well through the night yet. It’s killing me. I just try to tell myself that I just get to spend more time with her when were awake together. If she wasn’t so cute I wouldn’t be able to do it. I love just holding her and staring at her when she is eating. It’s such a sweet time together. I know she won’t need me like this forever. So I wish that someone would have told me that little girls can sometimes pee just like a boy. Well I had no idea! I was changing Bailey at 3 am when all of a sudden she peed straight up in the air and across the room! I was so shocked that I screamed! I was not expecting it at all. She has done this 2 other times since and its actually pretty funny. Another thing that almost never fails is that as soon as I get her swaddled back up for bed she decided that make another big pooh! I really think they know what they are doing. It’s so frustrating but sort of funny. I'm trying really hard to get her on a schedule so that I can get her to sleep longer through the nights. We start the morning (11 am) with mat time where we do leg exercises and sing songs along with some tummy time. Then we move to the swing for a little bit. It’s funny because we bought this really nice big swing but she prefers her smaller less expensive swing. We can hardly get her to sit in the big swing for 5 min. Anyways, I just try to rotate her with activities and then we go back to eating and sleeping until Daddy gets home. We try to give her a bath by 8:30 every night and then a book, eat and bed time. It has really been helping but she still isn’t sleeping more than 1 1/2 hours at a time.
