1 month

Well guys, she is a month old as of last Saturday. Wow time flys right. She has her one month check up on wednesday so we will know how much she grown. I do know as of last tuesday she was 10 pounds.
We got her pictures back from the photo shoot at EVIT, and WOW!!!! they were wonderful. I will post a few pictures on the blog but I can't do them all.
Daddy and Papa are hunting and I think Faith misses her daddy. I know he misses her.
Today Faith is spending the day with Grandma Madalyn and Auntie Amee. Lucky her or lucky them, depending which way you look at it. Mommy misses her. This is the longest I have spent with out her so far. Hope you enjoy the pictures.

Tuesday Aug 24th

Faith has not been too happy lately! :( She is up most of the day and likes to cry. Which in return makes mom want to cry. I have a phone call into Peds to see what we can do.
Yesterday we went to EVIT and had out pictures taken with couzit Brooklyn. I am very excited to see how they turn out. Faith was actually very good at the photo shoot. We took some nude pics and she peed on me and on the photo shoot floor. She got lots of kisses from Brooklyn though, maybe that made her happy.  We will be using the pictures from the shoot to send out as announcements, so keep your eyes peeled in a few weeks.
Sunday I went to church with my parents and registered at St. Anne's and also got Faith signed up for a Baptisim.
Faith will be baptised on Saturday September 25th at 8am. You are more than welcomed to attend, we will have a small gathering after at our house with a light breakfast. (bagels, donuts and fruit) The God parents will be Nick and Amee.
Got to go, can't take much more crying.

2 weeks and 3 days old

Well she was just sleeping and guess what I get this up and she wake up. So this will be short.
She has been doing good, some nights are more rough than others, but I guess that is part of the package. We have spent lots of time with family and friends. Grandma and Mia have come over, Lisa and Brisa have come over and the cousins Deanne, Marc, Riley and Ryan came over, Papa came over to play, Aunt Holly and Uncle Bob spent some time with Miss Faith and can't forget our favorite Couzit Brooklyn came to play and tickle Faith's feet. :) On Sunday morning Daddy took Faith to breakfast with Grandma, Grandpa, Great Grammy, Uncle Greg and Aunt Allison while Mommy stayed home to sleep. Let me tell you that was hard for Mommy to get used to. I cried! But, after breakfast daddy and Faith spent time at Grammy's. So they had a fun time.

Thursday

Well the last few days have been a little crazy. Faith spit up several times (not just a normal spit up, exorcist spit up) and her belly button bled a little bit. So we went to the pedetrictian and I was told she eats too much. She weighs 9.8lbs on the 11th day old. She also had to get an ointment in her belly button to cauterize it. She was a good little girl.
After that we went to get her newborn screen done and we sat next to another little girl who was a day older than Faith and was 6.6lbs. She was tiny compared to Miss Faith. Faith looked 3 months old compared the other little one. 
We are now spending some time with Aunt Holly and Uncle Bob. Yesterday she spent time with Great Aunt Teri.

Monday the 9th!

The last few days have been filled with many fun and exciting things. Faith met Great Grammy last night! She also had her first pasta family night at the Grandparents. Today Faith came to EVIT with me and met all the new students. But......... Faith decided to have her first projecting spit-up right in moms arms! It got all over! That was an expierence. We have spent the afternoon at Mia and Papa's with cousin Brooklyn. Daddy is on his way over to practice bow shooting.
Oh yesterday, we spent the late morning outside with Daddy while he fished in the backyard. It was a very nice outside. Uncle Rob came to join Daddy in fishing. Daddy caught a catfish, a carp and many little blue gills.

Friday

Sorry guys yesterday was a busy day and the computer didn't enter my hands. Well yesterday we went to peds again for a check up and Faith gained 8oz in 2 days. someone likes to eat!!! Dr. said she looks GREAT! Perfect color and everything. We are proud parents needless to say. Also, Faith lost her umbilical cord yesterday!!!! They said 2 weeks it would take to lose it. So now we can have a somewhat normal bath!!!
Breastfeeding is slowly getting a little easier, thank goodness. But, I still have to give some formula because I am not enough! Oh well.
Today was Grandma day. We started the morning off with Mia coming over and watching Faith while I slept a minute and pumped while Trevor worked and then ended the afternoon with Grandma watching Faith while Trev and I did the same as the am routine. As I write this Miss Faith is kinda sleeping on the couch next to me. She is a noisy sleepier. Anywho, I am ending this hoping to have a good night sleeping, we need it! Thanks again for all your support.

A wonderful night!

We had a wonderful night last night!!!! We got some sleep FINALLY! The doctor advised that we do formula and breast feeding and wow what a difference that has made. I also started the pump last night and this morning woke up with milk filled breasts. Yeah!
Today we got out of the house and went to EVIT and met a whole bunch of new friends. But straight home we went becasue it was way too hot to travel. Not much too exciting happening else today. Having dinner with Trev's parents today. Hopefully more fun stuff tomorrow.

Day 3

Well what a night!!! I was up with Faith ALL night! The 3 of us went to the doctor today because miss Faith had not gone potty, so I guess I have to start giving Faith formula along with breast feeding. Oh well, if it will help her and help her sleep I am all for it. She has lost a few more ounces and is now 8lbs and 7oz.

Last Night's Dinner

Last night both of our families came over to join in the first night home. Both families and trev made dinner and it was just wonderful!!! We had elk tenderloin and I was able to have steak FINALLY cooked right!!! I was a very happy camper.
Faith enjoyed all the love from all the visitors yesterday. She even slept from 9pm to 12:30am solid. That was very nice until she was awake till 6:30am. Today she has finally been a little piggy. That makes me so happy because yesterday she didn't eat.
Today (monday) we ate and slept for most of the day. Mia (my mom) and Brooklyn came and helped so Trev and I could sleep a bit, thank God!!! Right now she is visiting with Uncle Nick and Aunt Caitlin. More to come later!
