It has been great! I am one of the lucky parents who had a mellow baby on the first try. She only cries when she wants something or if its too cold. Easy fixes all around. She sleeps through the night so far. I have been trying to gradually get her used to sleeping alone. It has been working so far. Occasionally she fights sleep. The only problem I have had is that I don't produce enough milk for her. I nurse whenever I can but it is usually never enough. I want to make sure she gets enough so I supplement what I feed her with formula. In the meantime, I bought a breast pump so I can pump whenever I can. Hopefully, all of this will boost my milk supply. It doesn't help that I couldn't really nurse her in the first 2 weeks she was alive. I was in the hospital for most of it. I am told that I was supposed to nurse during the first 2 weeks to set my milk supply. That pretty much messed me up. It also doesn't help that she eats 6-8oz every 2-3 hours until bedtime. It's like she eats all she can so she won't have to eat at night. She has an appointment coming up. We will see how she is doing then.
On a side note, the house looks great. Cleanup is moving slower than I would like because of a certain energetic small person. When I finally get everything set up and done, I will post pictures. It is just taking longer than I wanted.
