Poor little lady

Lately you haven't been feeling your best, you have been fussy and so gassy.  You have also been spitting up a lot, eating very often and always grunting through the night.  Mommy decided to call the Dr and they had us bring you in last night.  After describing your symptoms to the Dr he suggested you get on medicine for reflux.  Last night was your first night on the medicine and so far you are doing well.  Hopefully you will get to sleep better and not have such tummy troubles.  You were much happier today so Mommy has high hopes for the meds. 
Good news...we went to our group this afternoon and you weighed 8lbs. 2oz.  The nurse even asked Mommy if she was giving you formula too because you are gaining weight so well, I proudly said no!  I am so happy you are eating well and growing so big.

You weigh...8lbs 2oz now!  Growing Growing Growing!!!

5 weeks old!

You have been in this world for 5 whole weeks! It is hard for Mommy and Daddy to remember life without you because now and forever you are our world!!!
We started a "bedtime routine" tonight, we are hoping this will make it easier when you eventually go into your own room to sleep.  As of now our routine goes something like this;
you eat while Mommy rocks you, if you are still awake Mommy and/or Daddy read you a story, we rock you until your asleep, we lay you down in the bassinet
Crossing our fingers that the routine works for you!
 XOXOXO

4th week at home with Mommy

Our 4th week at home together, is winding down. 3 weeks left for us to spend together, until SUMMER at least. ;)
 Here are some happenings from the week;
--you have been wearing 0-3 months clothes (growing out of your newborn gear)
--you love sleeping on Mommy and Daddy's chests, Daddy caught us one morning taking a little snooze

--you are gaining so much control over your hear, working on holding it up and moving it around
--you enjoy "talkin" to us while hanging out in your boppy pillow

--you have been so gassy lately (not necessarily a good thing but it is quite funny how loud you are)
--you like looking at yourself in the mirror on the play mat
--you had your 1 MONTH BIRTHDAY this week, Mommy and you celebrated with extra snuggle time =)

--you enjoy Uncle Phil holding you

--you helped Great Unlce Joey celebrate his 50th birthday and bonded with Papa at the party

-you went on your first walk, as the weather this winter has been BEAUTIFUL

Today you and I went to Breastfeeding support group again.  Mommy is starting to look forward to our visits, as I have made some Mommy friends there and its fun to see just how much you've grown.
You weighed...7lbs 8oz!!! Wowzer!  Last week at this time you weighed 6lbs 12oz.  You gained 12oz this week, way to go my precious baby.
Here's a picture of Mama's 7lb 8oz girl =)

I love you baby girl!
