Natalie is 2 months old!

What a whirlwind 2 months this has been! Having 3 kids under 4 is absolutely crazy most days but my heart is seriously so full! She completes our family!

First big bow! 

She and I both love the Ergo! 

The boys are absolutely smitten with her!

We had Newborn pictures done and our photographer always does family pics too. They turned out soo good! Here are just a few...

Weight: 10.9 lbs 

Height: 24 inches 

Head: 15.2

Diaper size- 1

Clothing size- 0-3 

Fussy time- from about 5-9/10:00 she’s fussy and cries unless someone is holding her so I will wear her in the ergo from about 5-7 and put white noise on my phone and put it close to her ear and bath water running seems to calm her down. Yes that’s right bath water! I will sit her in her baby bath in the bath tub and just run the water and she will stop crying. The bath doesn’t fill up. So we do that and then put her pjs on and rock her or hold her until she finally crashes and will let us put her down around 9:00. She is still sleeping in her swing in her room. I don’t turn it on at night. during the day I will if I think she will go to sleep on her own. I’ll put her in it awake and turn it on and sometimes she falls asleep. Mostly just the first nap.

Eat- We are exclusively breast feeding! She eats every 2-3 hours.

Sleep- I have been following the Eat, Wake, sleep schedule and it’s really helping me know when she’s hungry vs tired. So in the morning she wakes up around 8:00. She eats and then I put her down for her first nap an hour after she wakes up. That’s the easiest nap to get her down. She will usually go in the swing awake and I’ll turn it on and she goes to sleep on her own. Then she might sleep 1.5-2 hours then I feed her and she’s up for about an hour total then goes back down and we repeat that all day. If we leave the house of course that’s a different story. But she will sleep in the car/ running errands if she’s not hungry. I wear her in the ergo a lot if I’m at a park or store with the boys and she’ll sleep. 

Milestones- at this stage she doesn’t do much but eat sleep and poop haha but she has started cooing and smiling. She loves to look at the ceiling fan.

She is a true blessing and sometimes I think about what life would be like without her and I just cant imagine it! Its absolutely crazy but I know it will get easier soon.
