Newborn days

Ahh, the newborn days.  Sleep, poop, eat, spit up, cry, sleep, poop, eat.  Throw in two other kids (who have taken turns throwing up), and we've had a busy 10 days.  After Mimi and Papi's visit, we tried to lay low and stay home for a while, but it was just too dang hot!  So, we spent one afternoon at a new (to us) library, and it just might be our favorite library in town.  The next afternoon we took a trip to McDonalds to play in the nice, cool play area.  Some of our friends drove down to play with the kids and meet Violet, and we had a lot of fun, but the trip flipped a switch in Violet.  She did not sleep for the entire 3 hours we were there because it was so noisy with the kids running around screaming.  I think she got overtired, and since then it's been difficult to get her to sleep.  Until yesterday, when I decided that I would let her sleep whenever she wanted and not wake her up, even if she slept for "too long."  I feel okay doing this since at her 4 day check-up she was 2 ounces ABOVE her birth weight, when usually it takes babies an average of 10 days to get back up to birth weight.  So I have no worries about her eating enough. Also, I'm afraid to admit this, but she is now sleeping on her stomach.  I know, it's dangerous in regards to SIDS, but she just wouldn't sleep on her back any more.  Rowan was also a stomach sleeper.  So, she is back on track with her sleeping now, but I wake up every half hour to check and make sure she is still breathing :)

I'm going to post a video of newborn Violet that honestly will only be entertaining to either family or those who think it's adorable to hiccup and spew milk.  :)  You won't hurt my feelings if you skip watching it!
