Better Night

Hi all. Here is a photo of us visiting our birthmom's family. We found someone else to be behind the camera for us!

Last night was a little better for us. Kaylie slept in 3 hour increments and Jana and I tag teamed the waking moments. We think we know one thing that contributed to the short stints of sleep on Thursday night. We were using the bottle that have the drop in bag liner. Even though we were using the smaller versions, the bag was still rather large for only 2 ounces or so of formula. I think we were not getting all of the air out, and the formula was clinging to the sides of the bag. Bottom line is we think that caused more gas on her tummy and short stints because she was not getting as much formula as we thought.

We went with a different bottle last night so we are hopeful that we have made an improvement and it is not just a coincidence. Kaylie has been pretty active today. Active in the sense that she has been awake and looking around. I'm not sure what she can actually see at this age, but she is definitely trying.

The bad news is Jana is fighting off the initial stages of a cold. That could make things challenging. She is being careful and we all are using antiviral soap, and sanitizer hoping to minimize any exposure. I'm afraid we won't be able to avoid it, but we're keeping our fingers crossed.
