Oh Phyllis, she is a little beauty. Keep those pictures coming. I hope you get a chance to sleep tonight.

She is far prettier than old Win! Yes, I know all the first mellow baby that lulls you into having number two! Alice was number two, had days and nights confused. I hope you get some rest. Nap when you can! Post more pictures, too!

My what big beautiful eyes we have!

Phyllis, She is such a cutie patootie! Sleep whever you can and remember to take time for you!

LOL !! Love it Love it!! But never enough....more!!!! She is beautiful for sure!! I want to see her toes, her perfect little feet!
Linda C....who just looooooves babies....especially girl babies!

I should be sleeping...but instead I'm putzing around on here! I haven't done that in quite a while! :D

Linda...I want to take pictures of her feet but can't figure out the darned close up feature on my digital. It's supposed to do macro but hell if I can get it to work!

Barnmom, I don't think anyone has ever called my son "mellow." LOL(Just ask Chase and Stacy when we met them this summer!) He had his moments as a newborn, but I"m sure I've sufficiently blocked them out by now. Actually, he was usually all business at night time - would nurse 10 minutes per side, diaper change and back to bed. Sarah is a "one boob" girl and if she doesn't burp well enough, she promptly vomits it all back up on me. Niiice...

Looking for the camera manual...

Phyllis, she's perfect, and perfectly beautiful too. Days and nights mixed up? I suggest James Bond. LOL

I can't tell you the number of nights Makayla and I were sitting in the living room at 3 or 4 a.m., watching James Bond movies while Amanda and David slept on the couch. (grin) Makayla loved the explosions, fires and general action.

It does help to have a family member who is a horrible insomniac...

I would settle for a non macro picture!
I found the cure for "daytimer disease"w as to bring the place where the baby sleeps ( bassinet, porta crib or even a blankie on the floor) into where the rest of the family is during non sleepy times and even for some daytime sleeps. Let her become aware of the fun going on during the day and don't sleep through it. And make the night time "wake time" as boring as possible....no TV no radio...and only enough light for mom to read by while she rocks the babe.
I learned to rock the crib with my foot while being about 9/10 ths asleep!
And remember....this too will pass and before you know it, she will be keeping you awake because she is out on the town with the highschool football hero.

Phyllis, by comparison, Daniel was a dream infant (later was another story!). He slept through the night at 4 months. Feedings were a do-able every couple of hours the first few weeks. Alice slept through the night at age 4 years and wanted to be fed every 1/2 hour as a tiny baby. She did the projectile vomit thing too. Such a treat at 2 am!

Sarah will settle down and sort out her days and nights. Alice would sleep through a bomb blast now! I loved those teeny baby days, no sleep and all.

She is absolutely precious! I love (other people's) babies.

She is such an adorable baby.

And yes, I still yearn for another one. I know how you feel right now. Even though I thought I knew what I was getting into with Zane, I was completely "shell shocked" when we brought him home. For a while he nursed every hour, day and night. It eventually let up to every two hours, but when he growth spurted his nursing went back to once an hour or so. That meant I was a zombie mom, I was up all the time with him. I not only got through it, I enjoyed a large part of it and I wouldn't trade those sleepless nights spent caring for a tiny baby for all the riches in this world.

I love that picture. She's so bright. It's definitely not what you want at 2am though.

My son was worse than my daughter. I put a twin bed in my daughters room and slept there when she was nursing every 1-2 hours. She would cry I would pick her up and nurse her and we frequently fell asleep together with me in a semi upright position and her still in my arms. It was easier than running across the house to her. Too bad I didn't think to do that with my son.

It should get better soon.

Oh your pretty little girl has a mind of her own ! Will get better-- promise . Enjoy her while she's mostly immobile-- soon enough you'll be chasing her down . She sure is bright & alert !

Phyllis...she's just gorgeous! Bright big eyes!

Wow! Mini-Philodendron looks wise beyond her years...er, weeks. Very beautiful and very cuddlesome.
