Deedah loving on Ellie

*This week brought some new updates on Ellie. One night this week, I was having alittle bit of a problem with my milk production. Probably was a combination of not getting enough sleep, stressing, etc...Adam and I usually supplement Ellie a bottle or 2 of breastmilk to give myself a break. So that evening, Adam decided to feed Ellie at her 4 am feeding, but since we didn't have enough of my milk, we decided to give her 2 oz. of formula....bad idea. Shortly after Ellie drank the formula in our bedroom, she projectile vomited all over our bed and then proceeded to projectile all over our floor as well. Note to self, Ellie probably isn't a fan of the formula. So at 4ish, we were stripping the bed and putting new sheets on the bed and I have since not become even more of a nursing fiend and started pumping after every feeding.
*The day Ellie turned 3 weeks old, she slept 4 whole hours through the night. It was amazing. I woke up so rested surprisingly enough for having only basically 5 hours of sleep in all. I can't say she has done it since, but we are hoping this is the start of things moving in the right path.
*She is feeding alot better and lets us know when she is hungry and has gotten a pretty regular feeding schedule.
*In the last few days, she has started cooing every once in a while.
*Ellie took her first road trip to Chattanooga to visit her Mamie and Deedah overnight. We had the best intentions to leave from Adam's doctor's appointment at 8am. Well Ellie had other plans for us because she wanted to eat. So Adam left for his appointment and we left after that. Well then by then it was almost 9:30 and Ellie decided it was time to feed again. So before we even got on the road, we ended up in the parking lot of Best Buy so I could nurse. I have become quite the expert at nursing in the car. I then burped Ellie and ended up with spit up in my hair. It is amazing the things that end up on you after having a baby and you just shrug it off and move on. We did finally make it to Chattanooga. I was able to get a nap in and Ellie had a wonderful time with her Mamie and Deedah.
