That's what I'm doing from now on. For one, I can't stand to let her fuss! I feel guilty lol. Real early this morning though, she was laying in her bassinet just making noises and fussing just a little - not really even crying, just grunting. I went to pick her up, and hubby groaned and told me to just leave her alone for a few mins, see if she'll stop. Cuz if I'm always picking her up when she's like that, she'll think that she'll get picked up everytime she makes noise, and she'll get used to it, and will scream later on down the road when she's not picked up. So I waited, she stopped, then started again. So I just picked her up.

What about sleeping with me? I know it's a no no, but I'm always waking up anyway, and she isn't covered by anything.. I put her up next to my head. She doesn't want to sleep in her bassinet for some reason.. maybe she's used to a comfy bed, and doesn't like the not so comfy bassinet mattress?

My mom pretty much spent the day with me and Alyvia today. Was here this morning to drop off some mail, then left then came back, then she took the baby and I out for a bit, then came back.. lol. She was so excited to get the baby out of the house with her - even though I was with them. Then once we got back, she wanted to take the baby to go see my step-grandmother. She lives in a highrise in the same community I do. So I let her.. and I hated it! She was only 5 mins away, but I missed her! My mom had left about 8:45 pm.. walked over there.. and didn't get back until about 10:10!! I called her and was like WHERE ARE YOU?! IT'S' GETTING DARK! IT'S LATE!!! hahah. I can't imagine what I'll be like once Alyvia is older and out and about with friends... I'll be a wreck!

Oh wow. I'm sorry it's been so rough for you! I'm glad you went with the c-section too.. You probably would have had a bit more complications had it been a vag delivery! That's good you have help. I've really only got my hubby. Of course everybody offers, but I feel like I don't need help lol. (yep, this is my first) My mom keeps nagging me about babysitting, and it's starting to drive me nuts. She keeps telling me I can just hand express milk into a bottle and she'll come over and watch the baby, and I can sleep or my hubby and I can go out. I got mad at her Sat. night when she kept at it. I was like 'Mom! She's 10 days old. You have a lifetime to babysit her. Just stop!' It sounds mean, I know. And I know that she's just excited. But telling me once or twice that you're free to babysit when I need is plenty! Besides. I don't know any first-time mom that wants to part with her baby so soon! It's still all new and exciting for me. Let me relish it!

I keep hearing that when your baby is fussy, you need to let her just lay there so she can learn to comfort herself - but I pick her up after a few mins. Does that mean later down the road she won't stop fussing on her own? I hate reading things that tell you ways you need to do things!

Oh, thank you so much!! Things are still kind of crazy around here. She'll be a week old tomorrow (they seriously grow up to fast!) and we're trying to still get into a routine. She's eating about every 2-3 hours, which is great, cuz I know I'll have time inbetween to either sleep with her, or get things done. But looking around my house, you'll know I choose the sleep over the getting things done! I've been trying to pick up today, but for the last 5 hours, she hasn't really slept. She's wanted to eat twice, and she's just been wide eyed and bushy tailed, and a little fussy. My dinner was a peanut butter sandwich and cheese and crackers!

How is your recovery going? I've heard horror stories - I feel so lucky to not have had one! Your little man is so adorable by the way!

Hi~ For me it's all the cleaning I want to do. Our house is a mess and dirty. I think I'm offically "nesting". Work has been ok, I'm training my replacement, so there's a light at the end of the tunnel, However, my husband told me last night that I'll have to go back to work, because funds are low. So I cried. A combo of hormones and dread. Hopefully you can relax after Friday. :) Take care.
