This week is already fuzzy in my mind. I know that you finally broke 7 lbs again and we were told that we no longer needed to supplement with formula, but we were so scared that you would backslide we just decreased your supplementation from 10-12 ounces per day to 4 ounces. We had another weigh in 5 days later and you still gained, after that we only gave you formula if you seemed fussy after breastfeeding or had really dry diapers. I hardly took any pictures of you this week, perhaps I felt I had exceeded the number of sleeping baby pictures :) You were smiling in your sleep and we were all sleeping better. It was a good time, less stressful and we were finally feeling that we were getting the hang of this baby thing.
I also decided that for my sanity I NEEDED to get out of the house. Sitting on the couch was not working for me. So we started going somewhere once daily, sometimes just a drive while you Dad did some shopping. I know that this is not what your pediatrician wanted, but I was losing my mind. You still hate the car seat, but you like going places and I felt so much more human.
