Brielle is one month

It seems like just yesterday I was going to the hospital to have Brielle.  She has been such a great baby.  This past week she has started to be awake for short periods of time.  She pretty much just eats, sleeps, and poops.  The only time I hear her cry is in the middle of the night when she is hungry and ready to eat.  During the day I feed her every 3 hours, so we stay on a pretty good routine.  She had her first outing on April 7 to watch Cinderella with me and Izzy and then that evening we went to a BYU baseball game.  The first month has been pretty good, adjusting to 3 has been easier than I imagined, but we will see how it goes when I actually start to leave the house with all 3 of them.  I had mastitis last week and I thought I was going to die.  I had fever, sweats, chills, achy, painful to nurse.  It was awful.  Luckily I got some antibiotics and after a couple of days I felt better.

Eating: She just nurses right now, about every 3 hours during the day and at night I let her go as long as she wants, which is usually 3-4 hour stretches.
Sleep:  She sleeps a lot during the day.  Oftentimes I wake her to feed her.  She doesn't have a strict nap schedule yet.  After I feed her she is usually up for an hour or so and then sleeps until the next feeding.  At night I feed her around 10 and usually she gets up twice during the night, around 2 and 6.  I am able to go back to bed until 9, so it's not too bad.  Last night she only got up once at 3:30 and then again at 8:15.  That was awesome, I'm hoping that continues!

We are so blessed to have Brielle in our lives; she is such a sweet, cuddly baby.  I love her!!
Those cheeks are kissable. 
Cambry loves to hold Brielle, just long enough to have her picture taken and then she is done.
On April 7, she went to her first BYU baseball game.  She was so entertained!
