Oh, now I get it

So now I know what everyone was talking about when they said the first few weeks were a little rough. We are still adjusting to the night time routine, which involves Bria being wide awake at her 3 am feeding. Plus, Brian went back to work today, ugh. Can you believe I didn't cry last night or this morning? I can't, I thought for sure Bria and I would be crying together, but we have held it together.
In fact, she was really happy this morning and sat in her boppy trying to talk, it was adorable. I sang her some songs then gave her a bath which she liked and of course I love the smell of a freshly bathed baby. And to top it off Brian called and his schedule is a little different at work, resulting in him being home a little more! Man, it's been a good Monday so far and I am very grateful for that. I've even showered today, score.
The evening is definitely her fussy time, Daddy has a knack for calming her down though. She also likes her swing and the music that it plays so that's been a huge life saver when we both need to give our arms a little rest.

Let's see, she has had 2 appointments so far and she passed her birth weight in one week! Did I already mention that? Anyway, at her appointment last Thursday she was just over 8 pounds, I am so relieved to know that feeding is going so well. She only eats for 10 minutes on one side at each feeding, but apparently that is enough. Normally you are suppose to feed for 10-15 on each side so I was worried, but since she is gaining weight I don't think I'll stress over that...I'll find something else to stress about. Like her vomiting. She has full on projectile vomited about 4 times and I absolutely hate it, it scares me to death. One time it even came out her nose and I thought I was going to pass out. The funny thing is that it doesn't affect her at all, she is completely fine with it. I talked to the doctor about it and she said since it's not a daily thing it's probably fine, but we'll keep an eye on it. I notice her spit up is a little worse after she feeds on the right side so I pumped on that side to see why, sure enough the milk comes out like Niagra Falls.
Alright, enough talk, let's get to some pictures.

Alright, I better go, it's time to feed her again!
