No Breaking News

Lanie had an appointment with her pediatrician today to try to determine what she has been crying about. She doesn't have an ear infection, but she could have a stomach virus thing (but she hasn't had a fever and isn't spitting up). So the doctor thought she might not be getting enough to eat so she recommended I start her on some rice cereal. To be honest I am a little apprehensive about starting her so young, but she is sucking her bottles dry during the day so it might help. Of course another option is early teething. Doc said her gums do show early signs but no teeth popping out yet. So the guessing game continues. We will just have to figure this out by trial and error. Pics to come soon of Lanie's first rice cereal!!!!

12 HOURS

I had to document this milestone in Lanie's life. Lanie slept for 12 hours straight last night for the first time. She has been doing excellent with sleeping but we just hadn't reached this step yet. Don't get me wrong I don't expect this every night at all. Sad thing is she hasn't been feeling all that well and cried a lot yesterday so she probably was so worn out. She was sure happy this morning after a good night's rest so let's hope today she feels good. I am taking her to the pediatrician today anyways to rule out an ear infection and hopefully determine why she is crying like she is hurting. I sure wish she could just tell me what is going on. Sure would be a lot easier than guessing, but seems to be one of the joys of parenthood. I will try to post more after her appointment. I have a list a mile long of questions for the doctor so should be fun!!

3 months

Lanie is now officially 3 months old. These pictures were taken a week ago now on 8/19/09. Sorry about the last picture that she is crying. I just had to show everyone her crying face. Of course only a mother thinks the crying face is still sooo cute. We have about determined that Lanie seems to be teething. I know it is early but apparently I did the same thing. I don't see a tooth yet, but she is showing symptoms. Happy 3 month birthday Lanie. We love you more than words can express!!!!

Been awhile

The happy family

Sissy loves Lanie!

I know I'm cute!!!

Well well it sure has been awhile since I have posted anything. Sorry!!! I guess this is what happens when you become a working mama. Yes I have returned to work not by choice mind you. I would love to be able to stay at home with Lanie, but we have to stick to our financial plan for our future. I do work from home so that helps a ton. Lanie has started going to a babysitter. We would love to keep her at home, but it is just too hard to be a full time parent and employee at the same time. My stress level has decreased immensely since Lanie has been at the babysitter. Don't get me wrong I totally did not want to take her at all. I want to be the one to comfort and soothe her when she is upset, but I had to make a grown up decision. So I cried just like every other mom the first time they leave their child with someone. As you can see from the pictures Lanie has grown a lot. She is smiling and interacting with us more everyday. I love that she recognizes my voice and smiles when she sees me. I have to apologize to Grammy Karen. We went to Buffalo this past week and absent minded me didn't take a single picture. So the next time we see Grammy Karen we are going to have a photo op for sure. Well 3 month birthday pictures to come soon on another post. Yes my little girl is already 3 months old. I can't believe it either!!
