A year ago.....

A year ago yesterday is when we found we were pregnant. I'll never forget that day...and can't believe it's been a year. She's the most wonderful thing to happen to us, and I can't wait to see what's in store for us next year at this time :)

She's growing more and more each day. I measured her a couple days ago and she's around 25 1/2 inches long. I made it to the breastfeeding support group and got a chance to weigh her. Now keep in mind this is with clothes and a diaper on. She was 13 lbs 12 oz....little porker :) She's growing like a weed that's for sure....and I think she's having another growth spurt cuz she's been up the last 2 night wanting to eat at 3:30am. Whew...I was really getting used to her sleeping through...almost forgot what it was like to not get a good night's sleep.LOL :)

Need to make friends....

So I'm finally realizing that I need to make some new friends. Preferably new "mom" friends. I have plenty of things to do to fill my time here at home with her....but it sure would be nice to have some more mommy friends to do things with. Ya know...people who can understand what you're going through. I'd love to meet up with other mommies at the mall to walk and talk...or meet at a coffee shop. I'm hoping to attend one of the breastfeeding support group meetings to meet some new mommies. They have a meeting this Thursday, so my goal for this week is to sign up and go. I need to suck up the courage and go. It's so hard meeting new people...I've never really been that good about going out of my way to meet people...but I'm realizing that it's important to step out of your comfort zone. I know it's good for me and I want to set a good example for Eleanor too. I hope she's a social butterfly...but Mommy & Daddy neither one are....so we'll see :)

Help keep me accountable!!

3 Month Video

She's gotten so big!! My little punkin'.

Enjoy :)

Sleeping habits

I'm amazed! I can put her down at 8:00pm...wide awake, swaddled, paci in...and she puts herself to sleep. Boy....are we ever SPOILED! I realized tonight how lucky we are. She's such a good little sleeper :)

She's 3 months old tomorrow already. I can't believe my baby is getting so big. I'll have to do a weight check of our own tomorrow since we don't see the dr. this month. I'm guessing she'll be in the 12 lbs still. Although...yesterday she got 9....yes 9 feedings in. She usually only gets in 7...but yesterday was a rough one. So she might be up to 13...we shall see :)

Another video of her cuteness!!

This time she's talking..well..more like screaming at me, and eating her hand.

Enjoy this one...it's pretty cute :)

2 month checkup

So her shots were last Thursday. We made it through...although I think it was much harder on me than it was her. She was a real trooper! Here's her stats now:

Weight: 11lbs 11 1/2 oz (we might as well say 12 lbs)

Length: 24 inches...a whole 2 FEET!

Head Circumference: 41 1/2 cm

She's growing that's for sure! I've had to put away some of her clothes. My favorite jammies stopped fitting awhile ago. Now we're on to 3-6 months clothes :) Big girl!!
