Harper so Far!

Hard to believe H is already 2 1/2 weeks old!!  We have had a time trying to get her feedings figured out.  We had a lot of crying days/nights last week.  I couldn't figure out what was bothering her between my pumping, the formula we were using, and the bottles we were using (similac).  I have stopped pumping, we switched to Dr. Brown bottles (what we have used in the past), and feed her Similac Sensitive.  Dr. Scott told is this could cause constipation,  so we add Karo syrup to it.  We did this with Turner as well.  We also give her gas drops after most feedings.  We have seen a huge difference in the past few days!!  She is still fussy, but not near as much.  Praise the Lord!!!

She is getting on a great schedule at night!!  I have only had to wake up once the past few days between 2 and 3 to feed her and then she goes right back down.  She wakes up again at 5:30 and I get up for the day.  After she eats it's time to get the kids up and moving.  She is doing wonderful in the sleeping department!!!

  She isn't big on the paci, but does like her wubanub occasionally when she is hungry.  She is enjoying laying on her playmat as well.  The kids just love her to pieces and we are constantly having to tell Turner to be a little more gentle.  She finally took a bath the other night without screaming the whole time.  She is wearing newborn size but probably won't be much longer.  She was up to 8 lbs 10 oz last Wednesday:)

We are just so excited to be a family of five and can't wait to see what God has in store for little Harper!  We love her more than the sky!
