Upside down and turned around.

So it's been a busy couple of weeks. My hubby got ACL reconstruction surgery last Monday and we spent the days leading up to that trying to fit in as much as possible. Right now I'm sitting in the physical therapy office with our baby girl while the hubby tackles his second day of PT.  Between my hubby, my baby and the doggy I feel like a mother of 3 lately! But I am happy for the extra time Zeb is spending at home with us. Especially with Zebryna growing as fast as she is, it's nice he gets to see it all. Our little bit of a schedule we had going on has gone out the window but I think it's worth :). I do need to get serious about crib training tho because baby girl is growing out of her napper and doesn't sleep well on the pack and play mattress..  I've also taken a week off from trying to get her to take a bottle so that's something else I need to get back on this week.. 

So I wasn't able to finish my entry I started Tuesday.. It is now Thursday and things have progressed! Zebryna took a nap in her crib without me having to rock her to sleep! And last night she slept in her bassinet/pack&play without any problems :). But best of all she just drank a bottle :). My wonderful hubby sent me out for some girl time to get mani pedis and so I decided to pump a bottle just in case he should need it. He didn't use it while we were out so I decided to give it a shot tonight and while she wouldn't take it from me when I held her or rocked her she did take it when I sat her in her chair! While I truly love breastfeeding and that special time I get when I feed her it gives me such peace of mind to have her able to take a bottle.

Labor Day Weekend

So it has been a busy week with an even busier weekend! My hubby has had a four day weekend since it's Labor Day. Friday we had a fantasy football draft at our house which was a good time with good people :). Hopefully I become more football savvy this year so I can figure out what's going on lol. Saturday we had a room at the Hale Koa hotel in Waikiki for the night. Enjoyed some pool time and an awesome Sunday morning brunch. Sunday night my hubby and I had a much needed date night. The first since my mom was here in July. Unfortunately Zebryna has been refusing to drink from the bottle starting last week so we couldn't leave her for too long. But we did get a movie and a little bit of shopping in :). Hopefully we can figure out a way for her to take the bottle again.. She has been going through a growth spurt and I think that may have something to do with her wanting to strictly breastfeed.
Today we are having a family beach day. My little angel is sleeping while the hubby and her godfather snorkel which is giving me an opportunity to blog while lying on the beach :). That's right, life is good.
