Saturday & Sunday

Friday night was a looong one. Seems like we were up all night. I feel like Arden got too much sleep on Friday and also had some gas issues. But Saturday was a good day. We just hung out at the house and rested. Stratton was at Gigi & Pops house so Jarrod, Arden and I just hung out in our pj's, watched football and took it easy!

Jarrod did a Walmart run, and got us take out Saturday night and I did a load of laundry, we seriously did nothing all day!


Saturday night Arden had her first sponge bath at home.

Clean. Happy. Sweet Baby!

Chilling with daddy before bed

Saturday night was a much better night than Friday night. Arden stayed on schedule all night! At 9pm we gave her a bath and fed her and put her "to bed" then we got up at midnight, 3am and 6am. She didn't wake up any on her own and would go right back to sleep. I think having a whole day of being on a schedule really helped!

Sunday Jarrod decided to go to churchand then we had planned to go to HR and have lunch with my parents and grandparents and pick Stratton up, but mom called Jarrod as he was leaving church to tell him that Stratton had been up since 4am throwing up and had a fever. We decided it was best for him to just stay with them until he is feeling better. The last thing Arden or I need right now is a stomach bug. There's nothing harder than not being there for your sick child. It just killed me knowing Stratton was sick and I couldn't be there with him.
Thankfully, he was feeling a little better this evening and I talked to him and he sounded like he was his normal self again.

Tomorrow is my mom's Monday off and she had already planned to take Arden and I to her doctor appointment tomorrow, so she is going to keep Stratton at their house tomorrow and hopefully he will be a lot better and quit running a fever tomorrow so he can come home tomorrow afternoon. It's just not the same around here without him! Jarrod is going to take off tomorrow afternoon so we can take Arden to her appointment. I'm curious to see how much she weighs. She has been eating like a little pig. We upped the amount we are feeding her again, she's now taking 2 oz every 3 hrs.

We didn't do anything today, just rested and spent the day at the house. I took a nap and felt so good this evening I decided we might as well try and go to church. I mean if I can sit on the couch, I can sit in a church pew. Plus, since I have a doctor appointment Wednesday afternoon so we won't make it Wednesday night.


Going to church for the first time!

Arden did great! It was time for a bottle at 6pm so we got there got settled and gave her a bottle and she was content. After church Jarrod and I ran to McAllister's and grabbed a sandwich. Arden slept the whole time! So far, (knock on wood) she is being a really easy baby. We'll see how it goes this week when we have to try and get on a schedule with Stratton going back to school and Jarrod going back to work!

I'm so glad to hear it's going well. A baby on a schedule is a happy baby and happy parents! Sorry Stratton got sick, poor little man. And your parents too! I hope they don't get it.
