One Month

It is amazing how time flies. I remember the last month of my pregnancy, every day felt like an eternity. Now that she's here, the days go by so fast - not that we're doing anything special. We are finally starting to establish a bit of a schedule which honestly goes like this:
6:00am wake up and feed Maddie
6:45am convince Maddie it's time to go back to bed and catch up on missed sleep from the night before
9:30am wake up(for real this time) try to eat breakfast - this usually doesn't work becuase Maddie always decides it's time for her to eat instead
10:30am Maddie takes morning nap - I take shower
12:30pm Rob comes home for lunch at which point Maddie wakes up and decides it's time for her lunch.
1:00pm Days of our Lives (what can I say - I'm a stay at home Mom...) Maddie loves this because it's a full hour of couch cuddle time
2:00pm Find some excuse to get out of the house
3:30pm Back home (Time for Maddie to eat again)
4:00pm Try to clean house while Maddie sleeps
6:00pm Maddie's dinner - and Rob and I try to decide what we'll be eating
9:00pm Maddie's 2nd Dinner
9:30pm Bedtime
The days of staying up late are over for Rob and I. We are THRILLED to be able to get in bed by 10:30 (only because we'll be up again at 12:30 am for another feeding)
So that's life in the Wilson home - a much changed life for Rob and I, but one that is so much more fulfilling.
We think Madelyn is doing better - we bought specialty colic bottles that have worked wonders. Last Thursday she screamed non-stop from 2pm till midnight. Colic Stinks! Thanks to all of you who have sent your love and concern for her.
