Sweet Little Brier

Brier is 9 days old now and couldn't be sweeter! She seems to be on a self-imposed 3 hour feed/sleep schedule and that is just fine by us! Our biggest problem with her is that we can't keep her awake long enough to eat. She sleeps well at night going to bed at 10 p.m., waking to eat at 3 a.m. and again at 6:30-7 a.m.  She is eating 3ozs at each feeding. I'm not sure if this pattern is just a fluke being that she is still so young, or if she is going to continue to be amazing like this.

I started out breastfeeding, but have since stopped and Brier is completely formula fed now. I had a lot of guilt about this for the first week, but I'm feeling better about things now. We are both happier and I know she is thriving so really what is there to feel guilty about?

Lauren is still proving herself to be a wonderful big sister. She has been at daycare all week as we get adjusted to having an infant at home, but when she is home she has been a real trooper. Next week she is going to be home every day so hopefully her positive attitude continues!
