4 weeks old

So far my little one is 3 weeks and 6 days. 4 weeks tomorrow. The hospital stay was exhausting. Ended up with a C sec, not what I wanted but thankfully I walked away with a healthy baby girl. 8 lbs 6 oz. Poor thing, she wasn't getting enough from me and was crying her little heart out most of the time. We ended up supplementing her with formula and what a difference! She was finally a happy baby. Now things are getting better. She still has her days were she won't sleep or is a little fussy, but its to be expected. I am working on my patience! :) Other than that she is a good baby. This was my first week alone with her with out my mom or my husband. I have been trying to get her on a schedule, but she doesn't like schedules it seems:) Hopefully its still early, I am hoping. She did good the first couple of days, but yesterday and today, it was like schedule??? what schedule?? Right now she is napping and of course she is a little angel when she is napping. I can't wait for fall, so we can spend more time outside. Right now its just sooooo hot, I only have as small window to get her out of the house when its not too hot. The breast feeding thing has been one heck of a challenge. I never seem to make enough for her, or she doesn't get enough out in a single feeding (she tends to get sleepy while am feeding her). Hopefully that will get better. I can now see the lure of formula feeding. but am here all day, so I will breast feed as much as I can. I enjoy it, but I just wish she didn't take so long:) At least it helps her fall asleep. So far she is thriving. . .she smiles more and talks more. She is holding her head up more. We noticed she has a dimple mirrored to mine. Too cute. When we wet her hair,k it gets all curly. When it dries, it sticks straight up. Enjoy the video!! she was talking to me the other morning.
