After our doctor's appointment, we went over to my Mom's house for Maddie's first visit to Grandma's. Grandma had very kindly offered to babysit for a bit so Rob and I could have a little bit of time to go out and do whatever we wanted. We went out to lunch and then stopped by the grocery store. I got an iced latte for the first time in 9 months! God, I forgot how good caffeine is! We came home not long after because Rob is exhausted from his nightshift duties last night and wanted to nap. I've been a whirlwind of activity getting a ton of stuff done ever since I got home. Caffeine is awesome, what can I say.
Here's a picture to tide you over. We'll call this Maddie's face of the day:

You don't have to do math for the formula. Just mix enough formula for a few bottles all at once. We bought a "formula pitcher" from BRU, which makes it easy to mix large amounts of formula at a time (and has a mechanism that is supposed to cut back on gas). For example, we usually mix 16 oz of formula at a time, even though we only feed Annie 3.5 oz at a time. Mixed formula will keep for 24 hours.
OMG, that is awesome. I am going to have to get one of those. I figured I would make 4 oz bottles and then just pour all the left over into an extra bottle, etc... The doc recommended she go up to 3-3.5 oz.
Yeah, the pitcher was one of the more useful things we got from BRU. However, you can also use one of those glass Pyrex measuring cups or even an 8 oz bottle that you're not using yet. The cool thing about having formula left over in the pitcher is if the baby seems extra hungry, you don't have to keep mixing formula. You just take out the pitcher and pour her another ounce.
As much as I hate advertising for BRU, here is the pitcher we use:
