On my own
My mom left yesterday after being here for 10 days. It was great to have her here. She would take the baby and let me take a nap and then when I woke up from my nap the dishes or laundry would be done or the curtains and pillows for Addilyn's room sewn. Now there is no one to drop the baby on when she wakes up in the morning and I want to go back to sleep and no built in baby sitter when I want to go to the grocery store or book club. I have a husband that should be able to a lot of that stuff but because of super block he doesn't get home until 10 at night and to make things worse he is going to a dental conference this weekend. So we dropped my mom off at the airport yesterday and we dropped Jared off at the school this morning and we are on our own until sunday. I think we will be ok. Pretty much we just eat and sleep. Addilyn was doing pretty good at sleeping for a few night waking up every 3.5 hours but last night she did not want to sleep unless I was holding her. I hope this does not turn into a habit. Addilyn is now 3 weeks old and she weighs a little over 8 lbs (50 percentile) and is 20.5 in long (75 percentile). We have a bunch more pictures on the camera that I will post soon.

Good luck. Do you have a swing? When Ethan would get up at 7 or 8 in the morning, I'd stick him in there until I was more able to get up around 10. It lulled him to sleep like a hypnotist.
CALL ME if you need anything - or want to hang out cause you're going crazy.
What a beautiful baby! Leslee told me you had this page. First time seeing your little one. Congrats! Hope everything is going great. Take care! --Uncle Dale
