Current mood: exhausted
Yay I have a few spare mins to post a quick blog while Daddy is in charge of the little Munchkin.
The past two weeks have flown by soooo fast!!!! She is already changing so much. Getting puffier cheeks and I even heard/saw her laugh in her sleep. It was too cute.
So far parent-hood has been a tiny bit rough. My little sweetpea constantly demands our attention and unfortunately for all of us, is colicy. Her doc did tell us to give her some drops after every meal which seems to be helping, but its very hard to hear her cry so loud and hard and not be able to make her feel better. That is something I am trying to learn how to handle. She also loves teh arms. Its hard to put her down because no matter how deep of a sleep she is in, she quickly wakes up and screams. She is definately a wiggle worm and needs to change positions like every 5-10mins which does get tiresome. This also makes putting her down difficult since due to SIDS you can only put them on their back. She is a very strong baby and ever since birth has been able to lift ad move her head on her own. This is kinda nice since I know she cant accidently suffocate herself on my arm.. though it is still a fear of mine. Anyways overall she is doing good. Eating well, pooping well and sleeping somewhat.
Sleep is definately something I miss, and for all your soon to be mommys, GET YOUR REST!!!! it is soooo true what people say. Youll need it. Adrian's mom has been great and visiting alot to help out and same with my parents. Infact they are on their way here now for the weekend to allow Adrian and I to catch up on some much needed rest.
Breastfeeding has finally been coming along great. We had some trouble at first and had to suppliment but now she only suppliments 2 a night (Mainly cuz I am sleeping and Daddy is working the night shift with her). I am hoping to get her completely off of formula soon since it does give her more gas and tummy aches. Not to mention her poopies smell worse when shes on formula than breastmilk. If anyone needs tips on breastfeeding I feel I am fast becoming an expert so I can give tons of advice. It definately hasn't been easy. But good news! Due to the breastfeeding, I already lost 22 pounds (mostly in the first week) and already under my pre-pregnancy weight!!! I still have some more to go since I still have a tiny tummy but it seems like everyday its shrinking more and more YAY! the other kinda cool thing about breastfeeding is I am a total EATING MACHINE!!! I eat toooooooons, and am always starving! I can eat what I want and as much as I want and am still losing weight. Its kinda cool.
Well I better get going, its almost lunch time for Princess Mia so I best prepare for that haha. Overall things are going good, can't wait till her colic clears up and we all can get some rest.
