Miss Hailey
Hailey's Room
So Hailey is now a little over 2 weeks old. Things are going pretty well. She's been a fairly easy baby so far. She has done 5-6 hours between feeds at night the last couple of nights which I am amazed at. Cheyenne didn't do that for weeks. She's gotten herself into a pretty good routine. She wakes up around 8:30am. Cheyenne gets up at 8:00 and that gives me time to dress her and give her breakfast before feeding Hailey. She'll then stay up for around an hour to an hour and a half and then nap for about an hour and a half. So she's nursing every 3 hours or so. Cheyenne is usually in bed by 8:15 and I nurse Hailey at 8:30 and she's usually asleep by 9:15-9:30. This routine is working really well for us. I'm sure it'll all change though! Cheyenne is still adjusting to having to share me. The worst is when I'm nursing Hailey. It's taking around 45 minutes to feed and burp her and of course that's when Cheyenne wants my full attention. She's watching WAY too much t.v. lately but that seems to be the only thing that holds her attention so I can feed Hailey. So I turn it off the rest of the day and she only gets to watch when I'm nursing. I'm doing what I can to spend time with Cheyenne when Hailey is napping and not worry about doing chores. I got a Moby Wrap http://www.mobywrap.com/ to put Hailey in when I need my hands free and I love it! I can just pop her in and go outside with Cheyenne. It's a lifesaver when Hailey's fussy and I need to cook dinner, etc. I wish I had it when Cheyenne was a baby!
William has been a big help. He took Chey to the park for a couple hours this afternoon while I got the house cleaned. It's good for Cheyenne to spend time with her daddy and it's great for me to have some time away... We don't get a minute together until both girls are in bed for the night and we're exhausted by then! We usually watch a little t.v. and crash. I have gotten lucky a couple days this week and both of them have napped at the same time! Chey from 1-3 and Hailey from 1-2:30. That hour and a half is bure bliss!

Seems like the family is adjusting well. I was hoping to get by without having to buy too much for our new baby but there is so much cool stuff that has come out in the last 4 years! I'll have to check out the moby.
