The Russo's

I have been trying to do a post for days. There is just not much time in between taking care of two kids now. I am learning how to multitask even more than before. To write this post, I am bouncing Gianna in my lap with my knee so my hands are free. Whatever works, right? That seems to be my motto lately, I'm not doing everything by the book- just trying to get through the days. Gianna has been sleeping in her car seat the last few days. She did take a couple naps in her bed. When I put her down, she wakes up right away or soon after. She went over 4 hours at night for the past two nights, I hope she is getting the hang of the night time sleep. Her first church service was at 2 weeks old. Josh has been taking Hudson with him early for music practice and I have Gianna to get ready. The first service I planned on going to, I overslept and we made it for the end of service. Hudson and Gianna had their first Walmart trip together. My mom came with us to help. They did really well until...

We are adjusting to having a newborn in the house again. I forgot how many diapers you change, how much laundry they create and how tired you get with broken sleep. I had to be refreshed on some things even though Hudson isn't that old. I'm still learning what Gianna likes and dislikes, but so far it has been a pretty easy adjustment. We are enjoying a little one to snuggle with and hold while we can. Gianna had her 1 week check up last week. She weighed 8 pounds, 8 ounces. One of her eyes has a clogged tear duct, but it's not too bad. Gianna eats about every 3 hours and wakes up during the night every 2.5 - 3 hours. She is sleeping a lot during the day, but her wake time is increasing. She doesn't like to sleep flat on her back or swaddled. She sleeps on a boppy or in the car seat during the day and her swing at night. I hope she eventually transitions to the bassinet or crib, but for now this is how we all get some sleep. Hudson stayed with Josh...
