I love my life!

Well, life has definitely gotten more and more interestingsince having Audrey! First of all I'm getting very little sleep, Audrey has put herself on a very strict 2.5- 3 hour feeding schedule, and when she's ready to eat she's ready!It's gotten a tad easier at night since I've put a tv tray next to the bed stocked with diapers, wipes, formula, and bottles. So we have our wake up routines down to 20 minutes or under each time (most of the time)! One night last week she actually went 5 hours between feedings, I felt sooo rested after that!

Audrey is growing like a weed right now. We had her weighed on Tuesday at 7 weeks, 1 day and she weighed 7lbs 14.5oz! That's double her birth weight folks!! She's also about 21 inches long (as of last week), that's up 4 inches from birth. So she's definitely had no problems in the growth area...

She's still on the apnea monitor, but not all of the time, and hopefully for only another 3 weeks. They mainly want her on the monitor when she's sleeping and we aren't right there watching her OR roughly 17-19 hours a day. The last alarm that she had was the day after Mother's Day, so we're closing in on 3 weeks with no alarms! YEA!!

Speaking of Mother's Day, this was my first one and it was great. Bryan, Audrey, and I went out to lunch on that Saturday and then on Sunday we had his family over for a brisket dinner. My gift for Mother's Day was a shopping spree at Pier 1. So I got new dishes and glasses and some candles and stuff, that was way exciting for me!!

Hopefully we'll get some new pics put up soon. We had our video camera break down and lost our digital camera charger at the same time, what luck is that?! But we just got our video camera back from being repaired and Bryan's going to hunt down a new charger this week. Thank goodness great-grandma has been taking pictures of Audrey the last two weeks!

Well, I know that this post is long so I'll put up another post later on today, seeing as I have more to talk about!!
