Sleeping: 

Marlee allows me a good 2-4 hour gaps every night. (depending on the night) She has been sleeping really well in our bed. At first I was extremely against her sleeping in our bed because I was scared we might roll over on top of her, and suffocate her. (I knew someone who had this happen--he was only 4 days old) BUT, I have found that I CAN NOT sleep unless she is in bed with me. I have to check every other minute if she's breathing or not. It drives me nuts all night. Other then that she is doing GREAT! 

Breastfeeding: 

She is doing AMAZING when it comes to feeding. Now that I've introduced the pacifier, she has been doing great! I am doing much better too (Not in so much pain from her using ME as a pacifier--after she's full) My mom gave me a tip to let her sleep and then when she wakes up on her own, then to feed her. I was waking Marlee up every three hours to feed because that's what all the books say (feed every 1-3 hours) But I've found that if I wait until SHE wakes up on her own, she eats an entire FULL meal instead of snacking every other hour. Which is much better for me, (not as much pain). I think Marlee and I have this breastfeeding thing down now :) I'm just scared to nurse in public now. I'm not sure how I feel about nursing in public. I guess we will find out :) 

3 WEEKS OLD!

I can't even tell you how FAST these last three weeks have gone by! Marlee has grown so much since we've taken her home! She has gained a surprising 2 pounds! She is doing so good, giving me a good solid 4 hour gaps at night so I get some good sleep in, and has taken so well to the pacifier. She is the light of my world, and I don't know how I ever lived without her! I feel like I've known her forever! Landon is doing SO well with her. He is also doing so well helping me out! Changing diapers, giving me breaks so I can take care of myself! He is being SO supportive, and I'm so lucky to have him as my husband! Thanks to him, being a mom has been easy for me. Thanks to him I have full confidence in being a Fabulous mom! I am SO lucky to have such a WONDERFUL family! :) 
Never thought I could fall in love with someone so quickly! She is EVERYTHING to me, and I am going to be a ferocious mama bear when it comes to protecting my baby girl. I won't let anything happen to her, that I can control. I had the BEST role model when it comes to Mother's. My mom taught me how to be a patient, loving, and healthy mom! She also taught me the worth of parenthood, and our effect on our kids. I learned that if I encourage my kids to go for their dreams, they're more likely to accomplish them! I am so grateful for a Mother who showed me how to LOVE. She was always there for me no matter what! Even in the hardest of times for me, she was ALWAYS there for me! I love my mom, and am so grateful to her, and the role model she is for me!
