Mary Ryan is now 3 weeks old and taking it all in stride as you can see. She is keeping us on her toes with her feedings. Her schedule for the first week at home was at least 55 mL (60 = 2 oz.) every 3 hours. Now she will get fussy and want to eat after an hour and a half, but not quite as much as a regular feeding. She basically ate an extra time yesterday afternoon, but then skipped four hours between eating during the night. Normally, I would be pleased with her stretching out her night feedings, but we've had to be some compulsive about keeping up with it (had a spreadsheet going and gave that up a couple days ago) we're always second guessing ourselves. I'll take her to get weighed again this week and as long as she is gaining I'll be happy.

Happy Mother's Day to everyone, I'm only a week behind. I'll be about 3 weeks behind sending gifts and cards to our moms, grandmas and "other mothers", but I'll get there.

Mary Ryan's first batch of stationary arrived so I am excited about getting thank-yous done ( I love stationary). I'm also finalizing birth announcements. I didn't get Carter's out until he was a month old, I was trying to be better with her but I don't think that will happen.
