Things are Going Better!

So the "close and secure sleeper" that Dan and I purchased to go in between us during the night didn't work so well.....in fact it ended up just being too loose and not stiff enough. So I ripped the top of the bassinet off last night, put it on the floor between the two couches, and Dan and I each slept on a couch with her in between. My anxiety went away. She slept for 4 hours initially, woke up, changed her diapers, fed her again, and she slept for another 3 hours. I had Dan change the diapers, and I fed her so that we both could work together to try to get some sleep. I guess we are lucky she isn't up every two hours. It did take a every two hour marathon feeding to get her to go to sleep, but once there, she was out for a while. I know this sounds strange, but I want Kalia just to be a month old because these times are just so scary. She is so little and everything is still developing that I worry so much about her. However, after talking will people and reading blogs, this is all normal and will pass. The consensus seems to be that at about 2 month things will get better!

Daddy has shared some things that he loves about Kalia, now it is my turn!
*I love the way that you hum to me while you are feeding....it is the same "scale" every time and it makes me feel happy to know that you are happy.
*I love the way you look at me when I am talking to you. You look so interested and seem to love hearing my voice.
*Although you will never be this little again, mommy is glad that you are growing because you are getting a little easier to take care of each day.
*I love the way you smile at me when you are sleeping...some people say it is gas, I know that you are happy you are out of my tummy and are smiling because you love your mom and dad!
*Daddy and mommy love the way you make a "puppy dog bark" when you are sleeping.
