Adjusting to life with a second child

Like I said it was hard at first to adjust to Hannah.  We got into such a routine with Mollie that is was hard to have it get messed up.  **Lorin and I decided we are "routine" people**  But Hannah is just awesome, and has been from the start.  She is really chill and relaxed.  When she does cry it can be ear piercing though.  She was pretty fussy in the first 3 weeks as her digestive system was getting used to the formula.  She was gassy a lot and was only happy being held and rocked.

The first week that we had her home she was sleeping about 6 to 7 hour stretches at night (which I knew was too good to be true).  The second week is when her sleeping changed and she would be up 2 or 3 times a night to eat.  By week 5 she was on somewhat of a normal night schedule where she would wake between 3-4am eat, and go back to sleep until 6ish.  Her napping schedule was, and still is, a different story.  She usually takes one good long nap and the rest are just cat naps.  At first it was difficult trying to plan around her naps but now we just go with the flow.

Other then that the first Month is full of eating, sleeping, and pooping....
