The first month of a babies life there are SOOO many firsts and here are a few for us!
I’m SOO happy that our girl took a bottle!
Most people wouldn’t think much about babies and bottles BUT I was terrified that Maggie would pull an Ella and NOT take a bottle. Ella was such a little rascal…she refused a bottle for months. Which wouldn’t be an issue if I was a stay-at-home mom…but this woman had to go back to work!! We tried EVERY bottle under the sun with her and she wouldn’t take one. I remember being SO stressed leaving Ella with my mother when I went back to work and praying she’d take a bottle at some stage! And she did…took 2 days BUT she finally gave in and took a bottle for Nana. So with Maggie I wanted to try a bottle sooner than we did with Ella…to avoid the refusal! lol I was really nervous since Maggie refuses a pacifier…we have bought every kind and she gags with them ALL. Very frustrating being a human pacifier! But I pumped and she took the bottle NO problem!! Thank Goodness. Weight off my shoulders. And we continue it by giving her a bottle everyday. Pumping SUCKS but you gotta do what you gotta do!!
The bottle we tried was one I got free from BuyBuy Baby…its a Lanisoh brand (which I had never heard of) and she took it NO problem. Of course its a bottle that isn’t sold at Target, but thats ok…Amazon prime had some at my house ASAP. I probably should have tried a NUK or Dr. Browns first but oh well..no messing around with it now! lol
Also Ella decided she was ready to bathe with Maggie….lol She was in the bath before I had time to refuse!! haha 
First of MANY shared bath times for these sisters!
Another BIG one was that Maggie had her first (and last!) Audiology appt.
I mentioned how she failed her hearing test when she was born…and I was a bit anxious to get it tested again. So we had an appointment with Audiology for a consult to retest her. And, of course, that day Maggie gave mama a run for her money! We get into the room and the little booger wakes up (shes suppose to be asleep for the test) and poops. No biggie. While changing her diaper she has a blow out on her clothes…no biggie. Get her all changed and ready for the test and she poops again!! So we change her AGAIN. During the test she decides its her awake time. So I was nursing her and trying to get her to settle and be quiet enough for them to test her. Luckily after about 20 minutes she cooperated and we got the test done! And I’m VERY VERY happy to report she passed!! No hearing loss in either ears! Thank Goodness.
Another big thing was we got Maggie’s first passport! We took her little picture while in the hospital the day she was born. Yeah…not the most flattering picture of her BUT we had to get one with her eyes open with a white background!! Newborns and eyes openness isn’t easy to do! So we snapped this one, had it printed in a 2x2 and hoping it works! haha 
Less than 8 weeks we’ll all be boarding a plane heading to Ireland for the holidays! Yes…either I’m crazy for traveling internationally with 3 small kids OR I’m a genius! haha I figured Maggie will be at an easy age…she’ll be held and nursed and thats it. Owen is an awesome traveler..not worried about him either. I’m most worried about traveling with Ella. She’ll be almost 3 at that stage…and she has been our most challenging child thus far! haha Little Beast. But ready of not…the Souza’s will be taking Ireland…again! I can’t flippin’ wait to be in Ireland for xmas!
So thats a few fun updates we had for the past few weeks.
