What's the expression?

2 steps forward and 1 step back? Because it definitely feels like 1 step forward and 2 steps back! Parenthood is tough; every day is a new obstacle and just upon celebrating the success of some feat, another challenge seems to pop up out of nowhere. Interesting enough, the seemingly impossible is quickly overcome.

And I am beginning to rethink my marriage choice because it is definitely Magnus' genes that contribute to this eating machine named Olivia. A friend was over this weekend with her son whom was born on the same day... she only feeds him every third hour, as advised by her midwife. Well, I decided to test this concept on Olivia yesterday. I didn't make it more than 30 minutes before all of our neighbors were surely awakened by her murderous screams.

Poor neighbors, poor me, poor Olivia.

It gets easier, really it does. Hang in there =) She will be eating baby food and sleeping through the night before you know it and this phase will all be a blur. By the way, Olivia is just precious! What a beautiful baby!
