Typical Breezy day

Abrie's 'schedule' is quite consistent these days, and has been since only a few weeks old.

She wakes up almost on the dot at 7:30am. Some nights she sleeps through the night (since 12 weeks) and others she is up at around 3:30am for a middle-of-the-night snack. Big sisters get the go-ahead that they can be loud and give their Beeba/Breezer their trademark kisses or, in Faith's case, head rubs. She eats, plays with her barnyards (the barnyard play gym) while I give big sisters their breakfast and then dress them, plays with Momma, and reads books on the deck before heading for a nap by 9am at the latest. 

I have just enough time to quickly take a shower and fix my hair (need to get a seriously short haircut because my hair is falling out at its fastest rate ever due to always being back wet since I have NO time to blow dry and then take the 30,000 minutes required to straighten my obscenely thick hair), clean up, and read the big girls a book or two before Abrie is up by 10am. She eats, and we go out and do our thing for the morning whether it be go for a walk, the playground, library, or a close-by errand that has to be finished. She always falls asleep by 11:30am or so while we're out and about, and I transfer her to her crib when we're back from being outside. I get the big girls their lunches, and Abrie is usually up by 12:15pm or so and ready to eat. 

She eats, and continues with the nap that she started earlier. She naps until 3pm or a little earlier, but if she is not up by 3pm, I do get her up to eat. I would have never done that with Maddie or Faith, but she comes with us on all of their excursions so I always have to make sure she has eaten well. She hangs out by the pool (or wherever we end up going in the afternoon) and naps again at about 4:30pm. 

She is up by 5:15pm at the very latest, eats dinner on my lap with us at the table (although of course she only watches and doesn't eat!), has her nightly bath at about 6pm, and can barely ever make it past 6:30pm. 

A typical Breezy day!!

I swear breastfeeding poses its challenges whether you are on your first baby or your third. It keeps you on your toes! 

This little woman will REFUSE-- absolutely refuse-- to eat at times. On Thursday she refused two feedings in a row, and it worries me to no end. It's as though I am torturing her, and yet I am only offering her what I always thought was supposed to be a source of comfort. I hope it's somehow connected to her hives, because at least there would be an explanation then to it. Thankfully, she's had a good eating day today!
