Back here in Georgia...
Caitlyn is doing well. Her little tooth pokes out a bit more each day and her left bottom one feels like it's going to break out any day now. She has an oatmeal cereal in the afternoon and a brown rice cereal in the evening. Her digestive system seems to handle it pretty well and I think we'll be ready for other foods in the next month or so. She's not a big eater in the morning but she makes up for it in the evening. She still gets a total of 40 ounces of formula but some of it is mixed into her cereals. If I make a bottle of 8 ounces and she's having cereal, I take out 1.5-2 ounces for cereal and then she'll finish the bottle afterwards. She inhales pretty much everything she eats but if I were to give her 8 ounces on top of the cereal, she would be very pukey. There have been a few occasions where she hasn't even finished the 6 ounces after cereal... those are mostly in the morning/afternoons, though.
I'm hanging in there and just learning how to get everything done while still making sure she is taken care of. We have a routine most days and as long as we stick to it, things are fine. She generally only fusses when she is hungry or tired so the better I anticipate the two, the easier it is. My goal is to get our house clean by the time Jon comes back from Texas. I don't just mean weekly cleaning type things... I mean really cleaned and organized. This week consists of catching up on weekly cleaning stuff I put off last week plus working on the Spring Cleaning for Normal People assignment. (http://biblicalwomanhoodblog.blogspot.com/2009/01/spring-cleaning-for-normal-people.html) I'm also working on myself as a part of living a more organized and healthy lifestyle. This week's self goal involves drinking more water. I'm starting small so that hopefully this all will be for the long term.
