I did it!! I survived my first shopping/visiting alone with Kailey. I have been chicken to take her out until now. My excuses: it is just easier to wait for Jack to come home and we both go with her or I just run wherever I need to myself. I haven't been able to stretch across the seat and lift her with my stomach muscles the way they were (that is true). Lets see...what other excuses can I come up with....hmmmm. Jack had the truck at work...I am a big chicken is what it really boils down to. We went to The Woof Inn to visit Jackie and then I took her to the mall and bought her two new outfits that she really doesn't need but that is not the point. I stole dish soap...oops. It was tucked away by her car seat in the cart and I forgot it was there when I was checking out. I noticed it when I lifted her into the truck. Would she be considered an accessory to this crime?? lol Another milestone for us is the fact that I bathed her by myself including a shampoo job!! Much trickier without the second set of hands but I did it. She gazed at her slender bod in the mirror again. This time she was smiling at herself and I totally cracked up. It was too funny seeing her eyes take her nakedness in and then give an approving smile...hahaha!!! I also gave her a manicure...no wonder she is having a power snooze.
I have been delinquent in writing and keeping you all abreast of the goings on...sorry about that. I have been more than busy getting ready for Christmas. I managed to take some awesome Christmas photos that you will have to wait to see ;-). I am very excited about these and she was so patient for me.
She had a really rough afternoon/evening yesterday for whatever reason. She cried for three hours straight only to take little breaks to catch her breath. She did manage to fall asleep at her usual time of 11pm and then did not wake up until 4:30am to eat and then again at 8:30 so I managed to get a ton of sleep. I was so sad for her last night though. She was in pain and her tummy was hard as a rock. Constipated is my guess (she didn't poo until this afternoon almost 2 full days). What has changed??? I have been giving her the same formula but the concentrate form for four days and she has been getting progressively more fussy. I am thinking that whatever process they use to make the concentrate she is sensitive to. She is totally back on powder and is back to being a happy girl. This makes me wonder if she would have been ok on the other three formulas if they were the powder version? Strange, you would think it would be the same thing. I know she was spitting up more on the concentrate and it has a much thicker consistency than the powder mixed with water. Oh well, she is A-Ok and the powder is easier anyway. The powder is a ton more $$ than the concentrate which is strange so hopefully Mom can find some deals at Costco.
Well, there you have it. You all are up to date as much as I can type that is...hahaha.
