Month 4



She loves: Being the boss, when daddy gets home from work, pulling mama's hair, watching Brody, her blankies, sucking her fingers (especially her thumb), hitting and kicking on her playmat, eating, being naked, talking and laughing, new people, sitting in her high chair, bath time with dad, looking at books, is kicking her legs or clapping her feet together, TV, mama singing

She doesn't love: bottles, naps in her crib, being alone in a room for too long, being in her car seat for too long or being too still in her car seat, she's starting to dislike tummy time, loud noises while she's asleep

- Man, at the beginning of the month, sleep wasn't our friend. She has a few good days and then some bad ones.
- Started rice cereal between the last 2 feedings to see if that helps her sleep better/longer.
- Spent the night with meme and Michele in Kansas City for some much needed cuddle time. We mostly just hung out in our hotel room with the exception of walking around Target and a furniture store.
- Started wrapping arms around my neck and snuggling!!!! She does it to Andrew as well.
- She's starting to get clingy. She holds on to my arm while I'm changing her and she grabs really tight when I'm laying her down.
- Loves sitting up and standing up. She does well in her bumbo and she sat by herself for a few seconds on 2/28.
- Rolled a few more times on 2/27, but doesn't do it a lot.
- Drools all the live long day and gnaws those hands! (Teething?)
- First fever on 3/4
- I feel like I need to go on record stating that Claire does not thrive from routine. She thrives in calling the shots.
- First laugh on 3/5!
- First day to go all day without pooping on 3/7.
- Did well for daylight savings time! It might help that we don't have a routine for her to get messed up on...
- Starting to become bashful. I love it.
- Smiles at mama but BEAMS at her daddy.
- She slept 12 straight hours (actually woke up to cry a few times, but self soothed) on 3/9 at 15 weeks and 4 days old!!!! It lasted 3 nights. They were glorious nights. After I knew she could do it, I was more "patient" with nighttime feedings. We are doing some crying it out. I tried checking on her and leaving, and that made it worse. Now if she wakes up before 6, I let her cry. It's hard. I have to listen to the cry to make sure it's not new and seeming like she's in pain.
- She loves for us to play with her legs and arms.
- She has started searching and reaching for toys if they're anywhere near her. She almost rolls to get them.
- When we say sounds repetitively she smiles. Especially "la la la".
- She twiddles her fingers a lot. My dad does the same thing.
- She's an amazing tooter. Girls got gas.
- I'm hoping to catch a pic soon, but when she's done eating and pulls away, she makes THE CUTEST face. Her little bottom lip pooches out and she almost smirks. So content. (Got the pic)
- We nap together. We nap together, and I love it. I feed her at 3pm and she slowly drifts off into her best nap of the day. She sleeps between 1.5-2.5 hours. She only takes 15-30min naps any other time (about an hour after she eats breakfast and an hour after lunch). Since we've been doing this, she sleeps better at night!
- She notices Brody.
- She still likes crowds.
- We had some beautiful 70 degree days so we walked and she rode in the big girl stroller. One time a train passed us while we were walking and blew it's horn. I mean, we were RIGHT beside it and it scared her to death. It woke her up from a sweet nap and it was the saddest thing.
- She wants to put everything in her mouth.
- She's a big talker. Especially when she is laying by herself.
- She blows raspberries. She really gets going when she's mad. Not upset, mad. Bossy, y'all.
- Had her first St. Patrick's day.
- Went to meet several of mama's friends from Williams Elementary.
- Loves to stand and sit straight up. She pulls herself into these positions while we are holding her hands.
- She's staring to hold her legs when she pulls them up.
- She feels things with the back of her hand or between her fingers.
- She's starting to kiss back.
- Finally got her to take 2 bottles while she was in her car seat. It was 1.5 hours after her normal meal time.
- She's realized she can still talk while she eats, so that's a fun new distraction.
- Eats between 1-2 oz of rice cereal.
- She is on a 9-9 schedule and still eats every 3 hours.
- Goes down between 9:30-10. Wakes up one time, usually between 5-7. Up for the day at 9.
- Just bought size 3 diapers.
- Still in 3-6 month clothes and some 6 month.
- Size 1 shoes are good in length, but some are not quite wide enough for her thick foot.

4 month check up:
- 16.75 pounds (90%)
- 22.5 inches (90%)
- 16 inch head circumference
- Dr. Swindle said that she is strong, well, and round. He commented on how lucky we are to have such a happy baby. He held her a lot of the time and she just snuggled up into him!
- He heard a small heart murmur. Trying not to worry over it.
- 4 vaccines again. 2 of them has some red swelling.

Nursing: 3.5 Months

I learned from Jamie to make note about why I love and will miss nursing.

Breast feeding is the one thing that I so desperately wanted to go well before I had Claire. I was iffy about it in the hospital. She had a hard time latching and there wasn't a lactation consultant there to help (over the weekend). Once she finally picked up on it, she has been amazing! There's something so miraculous about the fact that my body is still providing all of her nutrients even though she is no longer in it. She will not take a bottle, so it is up to me!

Claire loooooooves nursing, and that makes it even more special to me. She starts whining and flapping her arms while kicking her legs while I'm getting ready. Now that she's bigger she pulls herself to me. When she was tiny, but still learning how to latch, she would put her mouth up to me, but leave her mouth open and shake her head. So adorable. Now she's ravenous and would never waste a second of meal time. She still eats on both sides at each feeding and her average time is between 15-20 minutes. Her little lips have the most perfect way of fitting around me. I could watch her forever!

When she first wakes up to eat for the day she always just stops suddenly and looks around. She takes everything in. She purses her lips and just stares. She also likes to rub me and look at me like "I missed you mom. Good to see you this morning." She always eats a good breakfast.

When she eats at lunch time she's very efficient. She doesn't stray away from the task at hand and she doesn't move much. She might take a 5 minute snooze when she's done and while I'm holding her, but I don't mind. We always get a good burp here.

Her nap time feeding is, well, something. She must have this feeding in order to take a good afternoon nap. I've tried laying her in her crib, her swing, my bed without me and she just won't sleep longer than 30 minutes. SO, we lay down together while she eats and falls asleep. Yes, she snacks off and on. Yes, I know you're not supposed to do this. Yes, I love it. And yes, I've tried to pull away from her and get out of the bed and she wakes up. I've just really noticed how WELL she sleeps during this time. Since we've started this nap feeding, she has also been sleeping like a champ at night! I don't really want to mess with a good thing until I have too. I also just soak it in because I will probably never be able to do this with another baby. This is something for just me and her. We lay on our sides facing each other and she cups the Breast with both little hands and just eats as much as she wants. If she does take a break and loose the latch, she still rests her face right next to me so as to know where to go if she needs more.

Her dinner feeding is very busy. She's quick and she pulls away a lot to play. She just kicks those legs and flails those arms.

Now, the bed time feeding. My favorite. She knows that this is time to wind down and relax. She eats for a really long time and she's just so still. The only movement is her rubbing my ribs on the side and the top of the Breast that she's eating on. I'm in heaven every night I feel like. I can also hear her sweet breathing coos and swallowing noises and they get me every time. This feeding is the only time that she pulls away when she's done eating. Every other time she just lays there with her mouth still on me. It's like at bedtime she's saying "I'm done. You can lay me down now." Sometimes I rock her for an extra few minutes because it's a sweet sweet time.


(Her sweet little face when she pull away from me.)

If she wakes up in the middle of the night, she just wants a snack. She whines when I pick her up just waiting for me to get ready. She MIGHT eat for 8 minutes on one side and she's done. Again, she's very still. She just knows she needs a little bit more to get through the night.

April Fourth

We celebrated this weekend for two reasons.

Exactly one year ago, on April 4, 2014, the Lord showed his love and mercy and complete control over my life in the most spectacular way.  On this day, my sweet baby girl was found via ultrasound when I was completely out of hope. I will always and forever remember 4/4/14.

This year on this date, we are preparing to celebrate something even more fantastic. We get to celebrate our risen savior! We get to stand an in awe of the fact that God, the same God who stuck with me when I gave up and rewarded me with my most precious possession when I didn't deserve it, sent his son to die on a cross to save ALL MANKIND (not just a few)! He sent his son to die on a cross to cleanse us of our sins so that we could spend eternity in the most wonderful place imaginable! Even more spectacular though, is that Jesus ROSE FROM THE GRAVE!!! Not in a creepy zombie way, but in a powerful and almighty way to fulfill his promises!

Jesus Christ IS the risen savior. He has saved me from my sins which are too many to count. He has stayed by my side through depression when I wasn't a loving follower. He has shown me his grace in 1025522 different ways! He can do this for you too!

I encourage you to stop and think about these verses. This excerpt is not from a fictional book. It is from God's Holy Word. Everything is true. He will save you. He will save me. He will save my Claire. He can save the world! We only need to trust in him! Thank you, Lord, for your incredible plans and promises!

"I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world!" John 16:33




Happy Easter Everyone! I hope that you all have something wonderful to celebrate this weekend!

Sleeping

Sleep schedule: 8 weeks

We followed the method from "Baby Sleep Solution: 12 hours by 12 weeks". This book was suggested to me (along with baby wise) from my sis in law. She used these tips on all 3 of her children and believe it or not, all 3 are wonderful sleepers. Andrew and I loooooove sleep. We were willing to try anything that we thought would give us the best result.

When Claire was in the hospital and her first 2 weeks home, she was a great sleeper. We could lay her down and she would always go 3-4 hour stretches. Then the 3 week growth spurt hit. Dear. Bless. She wanted to nurse every hour all night long. She would only sleep in my arms and preferred me to be standing and bouncing. I thought I was going to pass out from exhaustion. During this time, I gave in and she slept with me in the bed. She slept so good and I did too. Wellllll, she got hooked. For the next 5 weeks, I could maybe lay her down 1 time. It would last an hour. Maybe 2. We tried everything. Propped up, laid flat, swaddle, unswaddle, gowns, footed pajamas, paci, noise maker, lovies, you name it. At 7 weeks, she did get to a point where she tolerated a swaddle. I would wrap her up as tight (but safe) as I could get it, and then we had to bounce.hard.under a fan. She would konk out. We would lay her down. It might have worked the first time, or we might have had to pick her up several times to console her, but she laid in the pack n play by my bed. If she stirred, I would reach over and put my hand on her stomach. If she woke up too much, she would realize that she couldn't move and freak out. This freak out happened every night. Sometimes she would last for a while though before noticing. Once she was unswaddled, she wouldn't lay alone. Her arms kept startling and scaring her, so back in our bed she goes. I don't know why, but it bothered me that she was in my bed. Even though I absolutely loved falling asleep smelling her head and being 100% certain that she was breathing and dying over the way she would nuzzle her head to get closer to me, I didn't want her in my bed. My bed is where I get my best sleep. I knew I would be a better mom if I could get some great sleep in my bed. Alone. I also knew that she would feel so much better if she could get some rest in her bed. Alone. By 8 weeks, I knew it was time for sleep training, and guess what? The book starts sleep training at 8 weeks. I thought we were late, but we were right on time!

These were my biggest factors taken from the book that gave me a purpose and reassurance while starting the journey of sleep training:
- she now needs to eat every 3-4 hours to go longer at night.
- eat, wake, sleep
- routine is KEY. Choose several things to do the same every night.
- lay her down awake
- don't pick her up unless absolutely necessary. You can console, but don't pick up.
- 3-7 days to make a habit

We started the day she turned 8 weeks. It was a Friday, so Andrew could stay up with me for support. I was ready for ugly...

Routine:
- warm bath time (or just cleaning of face and bottom if not bath night)
- lotion massage and sensory brush
- pjs and diaper for the night on
- lights dim in whole house
- kiss from dad
- rock and read a book (if she'll let me without crying)
- nurse first side with lamp light and noise machine on "heartbeat" (read now if she was crying)
- nurse other side with lamp off (I do leave on the projector on her noise machine)
- when she finishes, put in sleep sack and then see if she'll nurse a few more ounces
- burp, kiss, lay down, close door

Night 1:
-11:20, cried for 7 minutes (felt like an hour)
-11:40, woke up (soothed by         Andrew)
- 4:45, woke and ate
- 7:10, woke and ate
Night 2:
- 10:50, cried for 3 minutes and Andrew went in.
- cried for 5 minutes and I went in to reswaddle
- 11:10, asleep
- 7:20, awake
Night 3:
- 10:50, cried for less than 2 minutes and fell asleep
- 11:02, woke up to cry and soothed herself but was restless for several minutes.
- 6:45, woke up to eat
- 7:05, back in bed (no fuss)
- 9:50, woke up happy!
night 4 (no swaddle):
- 10:20, laid down awake and no fuss
- 10:30, cried, Andrew soothed for a few minutes
- 10:40, asleep
- 4:30, woke up to eat
- 4:55, went down with a little fuss
- 8:25, up
Night 5:
- 11:37, laid down no crying at all!
- 7:00, woke up to eat
- 9:20, woke up for the day
Night 6:
- 10:10, laid down and whined for a while
- 10:30, asleep
-4:45, woke up to eat
- 5:05, back down no fuss
- 8:50, up for the day
Night 7:
- 11:12, laid down wide awake (this was the first night that she was 100% awake when put down). Fussed off and on. **was very restless while eating and I couldn't tell if she was finished. Put her down and she sucked on her hand and tongue quite a bit.**
- 11:33, nursed some more for a few more ounces
- 11:50, back down
- 12:00, asleep
- 5:45, up to eat
- 6:04, back down no fuss

I do think that she has developed a habit, but I also think the activities of the day play a huge roll. The days we were busy were the easiest nights with her.

I know spurts and teething and travel will pop up and those nights will probably not be ideal, but I am so proud of the progress she made during this week. I think we can both tell that she is a much happier baby now that she is well rested. She's changed so much this week! Now, I just need to learn to trust that she is ok so that I can get a good nights rest rather than watching the monitor all night :).

Sleep week 4: 11 weeks old

Well, we have one more week to meeting our goal of 12 hours, and I don't think we are going to make it. I'm bummed, but whatev. She's doing so well, I'm not going to let myself get frustrated.

This week started out with a cold and sleeping in a pack-n-play at my parents. On Saturday, we had a sip-n-see, so that made the day even more different for her!

At home we were using a humidifier and had her mattress propped up to help breathing.

Night 22:
- 11:00, down but restless for hourrrrssss.

leep week 5: 12 weeks

This week I was trying to wean her off of her middle of the night/early morning feeding. She usually only nurses 6 minutes max. Baby Sleep Solution says to take off a couple of minutes and nurse for that amount for 3 nights, then take off more minutes. Do this until you are down to zero.
Ex: night 1, 6 min.
Night 2-5, 4 min.
Night 6-9, 2 min.
Night 10, 0 min. and she shouldn't wake up.

Night 29:
- 10:30, down
- 5:00, up
- 8:00, up
Night 30:
- 10:15, down
- 6:10, up
- 8:00, up
Night 31:
- 10:30, down
- 4:50, up
- 8:00, up
Night 32:
- 9:50, down
- 3:30, up
-7:00, up
- 8:30, up
Night 33:
- 10:40, down
- 4:00, up
- 6:40, up
- 8:15, up
Night 34:
- 10:15, down REALLY FUSSY
- 4:50, up
- 8:15, up
(Woke up SEVERAL times)
Night 35:
- 10:15, down
- 3:25, up
- 8:00, up

Well, this didn't work. When she got down to 4 minutes she woke up several more times after that feeding! She was still hungry!


Sleep week 6: 13 weeks old

I started feeding her rice cereal with an ounce of pumped milk between her last 2 feedings. I tried with a spoon and in a bottle, she prefers being spoon fed-big girl! She also prefers it thick. I also nurse as long as she wants in the middle of the night/morning which is usually 5-6 minutes.

Also, no more humidifier or propped mattress. The sound machine has been switched to "ocean" instead of "heartbeat".

Night 36:
- 9:20, down
- 4:50, up
- 7:00, up
Night 37:
- 9:20, down FUSSY!!!!
- 12:30
- 3:00
- 7:39
Night 38:
- 10:00
- up every 2 hours
Night 39:
- 9:30
- 5:00
- 8:00
Night 40:
- 9:30
- 4:00
- 8:00
Night 41:
- 9:45
- 4:45
- 8:20
Night 42:
- 9:40
- 5:00
- 8:15

Best most consistent week so far! She's going 7-8 hour stretches and then another 3-4 hour stretch. I can live with this!

Month 3

- She stayed with Leslie (and Heather) while I got my haircut for the first time in 16 weeks!
- Started finding her thumb at 9 weeks
- Andrew kept her by himself 2 separate times in 1 day!
- She still rubs her face and the back of her head on blankets to fall asleep. Even nap times with me. She started sucking her hand and rubbing her hair or a blanket with her hand as well.
- Still very snotty and grunts a lot.
- At 9 weeks 3 days old, she had her 2 month check up. She weighed 13 lbs 11oz (90th percentile), was 23 in long (75-80th percentile), and her head was 16 in long (90th percentile). Her heart and lungs sounded perfect. Her ears and throat looked great. She got 4 vaccinations. One oral and 3 shots. Her cry was delayed, but once it started, it was so sad. It was a cry I'd never hear before (so naturally, I cried too). She continued to cry like that through the day. I could tell her legs were just sore. She took 2.5 ml or less of tylenol every 5 hours. She slept quite a bit and that night she slept 9 hours straight.
- We took lots of walks!
- We sucked a LOT of snot with the Nose Frida. Sometimes we used saline solution to help.
- Intentionally grabbed her first toy on 1/27/15. It was a hanging toy on a play mat at a friends house.
- She's spending less and less time with me holding her and more time by herself.
- She loves talking and hearing herself. I think she's trying to laugh.
- To get her to fall asleep while holding her I have to put an Aden and Anias Blanket over my shoulder and bounce even though she's grunting and trying to climb back inside my body.
- By 10 weeks, she had outgrown a lot of her clothes! Several 3 month outfits were too small.
- She now knows the bedtime routine. When we rub her with lotion she starts rubbing those eyes.
- Still wondering when her hair will thicken up on top.
- When she falls asleep on my shoulder, she raises her head, but keeps her eyes closed, and rubs her face against my cheek.
- Got her first cold/stuffy nose at 10.5 weeks. She didn't want to sleep laying flat and it really threw me for a loop that she wouldn't sleep through the night after 2.5 great weeks!
- She is way more active with her left arm.
- She is a very happy baby and loves being around people.
- Started noticing Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and talking to it at 11 weeks. It keeps her entertained while I get ready!
- Started getting over her cold after 11 days (after I went to the doc to confirm it wasn't RSV or pneumonia). There's a humidifier in her room, her mattress is propped up, I used the nose frida with saline solution, and applied organic vapor rub on her feet and chest.
- No matter where she is, if she can grab an Aden and Anias blankets and rub it in her face she will eventually fall asleep.
- She wants to roll over so bad! (From back to belly)
- She doesn't love tummy time, but she tolerates it for me.
- Rolled over from belly to back on 2/10. I think her head just started falling and she rolled, but she did it.
- Meme hosted a sip-n-see for all of her friends (and some of mine) to come and meet Claire. Of course she didn't nap before the party, so she wanted to sleep during the party. 
- Started pulling her feet up like a little bear cub.
- Starting to laugh. She loves when she does it.
- She doesn't require as much sleep during the day. She usually takes a great morning nap and then cat naps during the rest of the day. We try to keep her up between her last 2 feedings.
- When laying on her belly, she will scrunch up like an inchworm over and over. This makes her rotate in a circle.
- Starting sleeping well again! So proud of her!
- Stays awake most places. I can no longer expect her to just snooze away in her car seat when we go somewhere.
- She will not take a bottle.
- She's starting to shimmy and scoot out of things, so she has to be buckled in.
- She loves her left thump.
- Started grabbing toys and blankets and bringing them to her mouth.
- Does a half roll from back to side.

- Had her first Valentine's day.
- Went to her first birthday parties.- By my calculations, she weighs 15 pounds.
- Wears 3-6 month clothes.
- Size 2 diaper
- Wakes up once during the night (sometimes twice).
