Mission Accomplished.

Last week I said that I was going to work on 2 things:

• Getting Maddix to sleep in his bassinet.
• Feeding Maddix only when he’s truly hungry {every 2 1/2 – 3 hours}.

Well, I’m happy to say that we accomplished both of these! There were a few things that helped us accomplish these tasks.
“The Wedge”

Thanks to my friend Sarah for letting me borrow this amazing device! Such a lifesaver! Every new mother needs one of these. This is the only way that Maddix will actually sleep in his bassinet!
“Soothie” aka: “Ugly Green Pacifier”

Maddix has learned that when it’s not eating time, but he still wants to cry, he can enjoy the amazing soothie. This has been a major lifesaver for Brig and I. Another way to put it- this kid has some lungs!
Maddix is working on…

• Tummy Time. {Maddix is already lifting his head!}
• Sleeping at least 4 hours through the night. {Last week Maddix slept 4 hours between feedings 2 of the nights!}

My New Adventure.  

I will be starting Dental Hygiene school at Phoenix College in August. I hate the thought of leaving Maddix to go to school, but I’m trying not to think about it at the moment! Even though it will be hard for me to leave my little boy, I am excited to finally know that I’m on my way to being a Dental Hygienist! I’ve been wanting to do this since my sophomore year of high school. If any of you are wondering what I’m going to do with my little man while I’m at school….it’s called “Amazing family”. My mom, sister, & husband are so excited for me to be continuing my education. Since they all want me to go so bad, they’re going to help me with Maddix. Brigham will hopefully have a new schedule with work by then where he can be at home with Maddix a couple hours a day or one day a week. It will be an interesting experience! Wish me luck :)
