Week 2 with Alexis

Little Alexis is getting used to her new home. She sleeps in her own bed at night and only wakes up to feed at midnight, 3am, and 6am. (I know it could change any day now but I'm enjoying getting 3 hours straight sleep at a time.) I won't lie, the first ten days were rough. But, Scott and I have enjoyed every minute with her so far...good and bad.

What's our biggest challenge so far you ask - She can sleep through loud city buses coming down the road, alarm clocks going off, phones ringing, loud tv's, sirens, and people talking. However, if you take one step on our hardwood floors from the 1800's and they creak...she's awake and they entire sleep process has to start all over. Scott and I don't think about it during the day b/c we can put her back to sleep but at night it's funny to watch Scott and I creep around the house attempting not to make the floors creak. (Almost impossible since they are sooo old)

What's another thing we didn't expect: LAUNDRY. I can do 1 or 2 loads of laundry for her per day. Spitting up and diaper mishaps usually cause the daily loads. We were on outfit #2 by 2:00 in the afternoon today. Laundry isn't such a big deal in the U.S. when you can regulate the time but the shortest load for laundry on my wash is around 71 minutes. Gotta love the European washers.

Aunt Shannon and Uncle Josh are coming to visit her on Friday so more pics next week!

Until then....
