Good morning everyone... well the day has finally come, I have to go back to work tomorrow! I am kinda sad about it, I wish I could stay home everyday with E. I know I'll get used to it but it will be a bit of a challenge and there will definitely be a few tears.

E had her 2 month check up on Friday. She got 3 shots in her thigh (2 on one side one on the other) all immunizations. They definitely made her SUPER cranky on Friday evening. She had a bit of a temp but that's gone away now. She weighs 12 lbs 1 oz and is healthy.

G and I along with our dr decided to start E on some formula. I am not pumping enough milk to keep up w/ E's needs. So we are now mixing equal parts formula and breast milk. She took it right away and doesn't seem to be having any problems with it. I was a bit concerned that the iron in the formula would give her a tummy ache or make her constipated, but it's done neither. Boy is that formula EXPENSIVE!!! Almost $12 bucks for a small container of powder! We are thanking god that I am able to pump some milk and that she isn't fully on formula... I can't imagine the monthly expense! I'm heading to Sam's Club this morning to see if formula is any cheaper there. Lets keep our fingers crossed!

I thought we were on the way to consistent full nights of sleep... on Wednesday and Thursday night she slept from 10:30 p.m. to 4 a.m. without waking up! Then Friday night and last night she was up constantly! 1 a.m., 2:30 a.m., 4, 6:15 and we finally got out of bed at 7:20. I'm hoping it just has to do w/ not feeling 100% due to the shots and maybe getting used to the switch with formula. I can't imagine how tired I'll be now that I'm starting work, if she does this every night! I have been breast feeding at night still, but if she continues to do this, we'll have to switch to the bottle at night so G is able to get up w/ her and I can get some sleep.

Ok, well that's it for now. If any of you are interested in reading another fun blog, G and I love sugarandice.blogspot.com. It is written by a 20 something girl who also just had a baby in April. She has a great writing style and it always keeps us laughing. Enjoy!
