Playing Catch Up

Well here's a surprise... I haven't posted in forever again!  BUT I'm giving this another shot.  There is a lot to catch you up on, including my entire pregnancy and the first almost 3 months of our sweet baby's life :)  Oh well...  I'll try to squeeze it all in here!
My pregnancy was amazing... All 40 weeks and 6 days of it.  After the first few weeks of nausea, it was smooth sailing.  I was able to work up to 40 weeks and stayed comfortable up until the end.  Our little stinker stayed super high in my belly the whole time and I think that helped me feel as great as I did. (Although it did take her a while to come down for delivery :)  Here are the pregnancy chalkboard pics I did throughout.

We welcomed our beautiful baby girl into the world on May 17, 2013 at 0248 a.m.  She was a perfect 7# 13 oz and 21.5 inches long.  I think I'll save her birth story for my next post, but here are a few of my favorite photos from her first month.  


First pool experience didn't go so well :)



One Month Summary:
9# 8.9 oz.
22.5 inches
Breastfeeding like a champ
Very alert
Sleeps in a bassinet in mommy and daddy's room 
Loves her swing and bouncy seat

I was blessed with an amazing delivery and easy recovery.  Breastfeeding has gone great so far and she has been such a sweet baby :)  We have been able to travel a lot to visit with grandparents and extended family.  We are having so much fun watching her grow!  Here are some of my favorite photos from her 2nd month.








Two Month Summary:
10 # 12.3 oz.
24 inches
Still breastfeeding great
Loves tubby time and is warming up to the pool
Sleeps for 7-8 hours straight at night
Takes some naps in her "big girl" crib
Hates tummy time but loves to kick and stretch
Smiles on purpose now!

Hopefully I will have some time in the next few days to write out her birth story.  Until then, I have a squishy faced little angel to snuggle with :)

Lots of love from Birmingham
