Well the day is here! Savannah is going to be introduced to NJ! I am super excited and I can tell by her smiles that she is too :) She is also going to be meeting a ton of family for the first time, but the biggest excitement is that my mom (her Nana) is going to be meeting her finally. My mom was unable to make her birth so we are excited for her to meet Savannah. She will also be meeting her 3 cousins, her aunts and uncles, and several of Mommy's cousins. She will also be meeting Mommy's best friend and her 3 little ones. We may even take a trip to Mommy's old workplace where I spent 8 years of my life. So exciting!
Preparing for this trip was much more complicated than I thought. There is so much that needed to be packed! And I'm still worried that I'm forgetting something important. I've spend so much time focusing on packing her things that I pretty much neglected my own stuff. If you see me this weekend and I'm wearing the same set of clothes everyday, this is why.
We are going to be doing some fun things, hopefully! Including a birthday party for Savannah's cousin Hailey! She is turning 2! Wow, I can't believe it. Seems like she was just born.
I'll leave you with Savannah's 2 month picture. She is so beautiful and I make sure to tell her that everyday and so does her Daddy. :)
For the past few weeks, my little princess has been having some tummy troubles. She has been extremely gassy. At first, there was just a lot of grunting and gas passing, but more recently its been accompanied by the crankies. One night it was so bad that we had to let her sleep in her car seat so that she was sitting up (this night she slept for 6 hours straight, which was heaven!). I tried everything-bicycle legs, tummy rubs, burping every few minutes (or ounces), keeping her sitting up for an hour after eating (this was not happening in the overnight feedings though), and gas drops. Nothing seemed to be working. Cue online research-
I googled and spent a lot of time on Thebump.com and finally found something that I was interested in trying. This something was called gripe water. We found it at walmart and while it was not cheap (ten dollars a bottle), it has been THE solution! She has never been so happy! Last night, I gave it to her in a bottle after her last feeding and before she went to bed and she went right to sleep! It was great! And then today, shes napped like a champ, which hasnt happened in awhile and has resulted in her being completely overtired at night. Being overtired + gas pains=a severely fussy Savannah.
I'm so happy to have my happy baby back! And perfect timing too, because I've started babysitting two other kids during the day so I need for her to be happy during the day :)
