one week and one day

A week and one day have gone by since miss Paisley arrived and we seem to be settled into our new routine. She is a super good baby so far and today is the first time I have really heard her cry for more than a split second. The nurses said she didn't even cry when they gave her shots! What a trooper! Maybe all that praying for a quiet child, unlike Jayda, really did work!! Doubtful, but we'll enjoy it while we can. She's eating well and gets us up about 2 or 3 times a night for a feeding. She isn't burping as well as she was last week, but seems to be doing ok anyway. She's had some boogers in her eyes and may have a blocked tear duct. I've been trying to see if I can unblock it so we don't have to take her to a doctor. I think they look better today, so hopefully we are making progress.

Jayda is adjusting well and hasn't had any jealousy issues yet. Today we ran to Bison so I could license my car and I took her to the park afterwards. She enjoyed that as well as some bug juice for the ride home. I'm trying to divide my attention as equally as I can. She doesn't quite understand why we can't go outside when the weather is cool and windy like it was yesterday. As Paisley gets older, hopefully we won't have those problems.

While we were in Bison Jayda did have a little "run in" with a glass window! I tried not to laugh, but it was impossible to hold back! She thought the glass door was open and ran smack into it and bounced back into me. I can't even write about it without cracking up again. Thankfully she had a cap on that protected her face a little, but she did hit pretty hard. She's tough and didn't even cry. She was a little annoyed that I was laughing at her though!

Yesterday morning I was brushing my teeth and she came in to watch. After I was done, she said, "Aren't you going to puke mom?" I was happy to tell her I didn't puke anymore now that the baby is out. She said, "that's weird."

Tomorrow I'm going to get a small break from the kiddo's, I'm going to get my hair colored and probably get some groceries. Thursday we might have some visitors to cook for since Jed is vaccinating calves. Then Friday we are all off to Rapid for Sydney's birthday party. Paisley's first long trip! We are hoping to take in a little of the Central States Fair also and let Jayda ride some rides.

I continue to feel well and am working on losing the baby weight. I've been walking every night, sometimes with Jayda and sometimes without. She loves to go on walks, but sometimes I just want a brief moment of alone time.
