Week 2!

Well, little Micah is 2 weeks old now! The first week he was an amazing sleeper.... this past week I think we have moved into a colicky stage, NOT FUN- especially when Matt has been sick over half the week and unable to help with him!  Micah has been crying from about 10pm-2am a couple nights this past week.  He does great during the day, but that time hits and it's miserable.  I am NOT a night person either, so most of those nights he has ended up in our bed just so I could sleep-- (away from Matt).  We've been trying the gripe water, colief and gas drops... so far nothing has worked extremely well, but we'll see.  I'm glad Matt is better and can help out more... he is SO good at staying up and I don't mind getting up at the 4:30ish feeding time. 

Caylee on the other hand is doing MUCH better!  My Grandpa and Aunt had been here all last week to continue our help and she did well with them.  (Well, with my aunt she did well.  Apparently, she pushed her Great Grandfather's hand off the shopping cart on their 2 Walmart runs-- crazy girl!  I know she loves him though because she kept bringing him her piano he bought and they'd dance to it!)  She has been sleeping so much better and I am thankful my aunt was here to get up with her in the mornings like my mom did.  I still can't lift Caylee for a few weeks, so getting her in and out of bed is a challenge for me. 

Today was our first day alone (Sherry comes tomorrow for the rest of the week to help).  We have done ok so far.  Caylee slept in late (8:20!), which meant Micah and I could sleep in and catch up a little.  She did not nap, that was difficult, but has been pretty happy anyways.  Poor Micah is still screaming at feedings and we have been through 3 outfits because of his extreme spitting up!  He also had a bath this morning (it's taking me a while to get used to changing boys... just saying....)  Caylee and I played in a tub of water and washed her toys-- that was great fun for her and a huge help to me!  We have had all our meals on the floor due to my not being able to lift her, but she's done wonderful.  She is learning (and doing VERY well) at going down our stairs on her bottom too... and is also doing great at climbing on her new stool (thanks Grandpa!) to get on the couch with me.

I am feeling ok, but still have to remember that 2 weeks out is not very much-- I've pushed things a little too much these past few days with Matt being sick, but hope to take it easier this week :)


Caylee's open mouth kiss... she's eating his head!! Too cute :)

Reorganizing our fridge! YEA! Thanks so much!

Loves to use the swing when Micah isn't...

Poor little guy had hiccups he just couldn't get out...

 
Wide awake.... was hoping this meant he'd sleep... no such luck!  He is a cute one though...

Loves his bouncy seat too and took everything apart...

Great Aunt Debbie

 

 

Probably one of my favorite pics, even though I don't have make-up on! 

I really loved having my mom, grandpa and aunt here the past 2 weeks.  I could not have done this without them (or Matt too, but he's here no matter what).  I miss them TONS and wish they'd come back!!
