Rough night and day

Just when you think you are getting into a schedule, things change. I thought I was doing really well adjusting to 3 children, and I until the past 2 days, Kamryn has been a really easy baby. But, for the past few days, she has seemed really fussy. She just does not seem content when she is awake unless she is being held. So today, I started to really question what I was doing wrong. I got so frustrated and was on the verge of tears several times. So even the third time around you question things. Last night Kamryn woke up to eat at 4 am. She then wanted to stay up. I walked the floors until 6:30 this morning. As soon as I thought I had her asleep and settled, she would wake up again. I was up and down for hours. Needless to say, when I had to get the older girls up for VBS, I was grouchy and misserable. I was a little on edge from the beginning, and it was not the best way to start my day. Kamryn was fussy off and on all day, and by evening, I started to worry that maybe something was wrong. I went through the whole checklist, "She had just eaten. She was not wet. She did not have a fever. I changed her clothes into her PJ's so she was more comfortable and warmer." So, what was bothering her? She kept acting like she was hungry, but it had only been an hour since she had eaten. I got so stressed and worked myself into a headache. I finally fed her after 3 hours and gave her an extra 1/2 ounce and the rest of the evening went pretty well. She seemed so much more relaxed. She sucked on her pacifier and I massaged her little feet and legs. I finally ate dinner around 9:30 and my headache eased up. So right now I am feeling a little better. Once I got her settled tonight, I snapped a few pictures of her. They are not the best, but I wanted some pictures of her in this little one piece outfit from Great Grandma Shoaf. It will probably be the only time she wears it. It was a newborn size and she is well into her 0-3 clothes now. She does look cute in it, so thanks gram. I am hoping tomorrow is a better day. We are going to get her newborn pictures done. I am so excited, and I hope she cooperates.

Finally happy
