Monday Katie slept so well so I got up early and exercised before the girls got up then we made a fun breakfast and I pumped. I was heartbroken because I had 7 fl. oz. of breast milk and I put it in the fridge but it fell over and completely leaked out. I have not been able to build up spare milk since then. She has had a lot of formula and I give her breast milk when I can. She usually has it during the day, mixed with formula. I can't give her just breast milk because it makes it that much harder for her to drink just formula in the next bottle. I put Katie down for a nap and Paul let me nap as well. We both slept for almost three hours! I pumped when I got up and Paul grabbed the groceries while I stayed home with the girls and baked the lasagna. We went for a family walk after that and went to the park. It was cold so we didn't stay long. I tried to put Katie to bed but she wasn't quite ready for sleep. Mary joined us and we all cuddled, then I brushed Mary...

Monday I woke up pretty tired because Katie was up once to eat and Mary got up 3 times in the early morning. Paul delayed his fasting for the super bowl so he fasted today. We didn't get to do our fun breakfast but I still made a waffle for Mary. Paul and I exercised then we went for a walk to the park. It was really cold and I don't think we dressed warm enough. We listened to Murder with My Husband, my favorite true crime podcast. We came home and watched a movie then had dinner. We went for a drive as a family and both girls fell asleep. I texted Christa and asked if we could cancel the violin lesson but she didn't get the text. Everyone was tired but she came to the house and we went ahead and did the lesson anyway. I put Katie to bed again after the lesson and was up with her 2 times that night to feed her. Tuesday I woke up feeling really sick, I was shivering and had body aches, my skin was very sensitive to the touch. I woke up early because I had a night...

Monday was rough because I woke up early (2 am) on my own then Katie was up twice and both girls were wide awake at 6 am. I exercised, then we walked to the park as a family. We drove to Reno and had lunch at Five Guys for my birthday. We celebrated early so Paul didn't feel stressed about money half way through the month, which turned out to be lucky for me. Katie fell asleep in the car after lunch so Paul got his haircut then we went to Costco. We went to Smith's to grab a couple more things but they were out so we went to Walmart on the way home. I put Katie to bed and we deep cleaned. I taught violin then the washing machine was still acting up so Paul ran to Lowe's to grab a new hose to see if that helped. He put it on while I put Katie to bed. He got Mary to bed and I went to check on her after Katie fell asleep. She wasn't in her bed though, she was laying on the couch with a blanket. That broke my heart, I got her back into her own bed and laid with h...

Monday Katie turned 4 months old! She is so smiley and is a big mama's girl! She is content as long as I am holding her and she is included in our activities. We love our Katie girl. Monday is our Saturday right now with Paul's rotating schedule this quarter so we started the day with a big breakfast before putting Katie down for a nap. I exercised and showered then we were ready to go out and went to open the garage door but it got frozen to the ground since it had been so cold and snowed this last weekend. Paul fixed it and we were on our way. Katie was fussy but going outside and driving around helped her calm down and feel better. We picked up groceries and walked around Walmart for a minute before going out of tacos and playing at Out-of-Town Park. Katie took a little nap then woke up and took a big poop. I'm glad because her tummy had been upset all morning but she did overflow her diaper, so we headed home and got her cleaned up. We went on a walk to Ponde...
