How does time go by SO fast?? Our beautiful girl was TWO weeks old on Friday! So far, Collins has been a wonderful baby...I am scared to say it because I am scared to "jinx" ourselves, but she really has been so good so far. She hardly ever cries and is pretty easy going. The first two weeks, she would sleep for at least 5 hours straight at night...she will fight her swaddle a little bit and every once in a while I will have to get her situated but otherwise she has been a dream sleeper. Makes mama so happy!
Our days FLY by...it's so hard to explain to people who haven't done it before, but seriously, where does the day go?!? Obviously breastfeeding is very time consuming, and that takes up a big chunk of our days...so between that, changing diapers (ALL. THE. TIME.), getting myself showered, and keeping the house neat...before I know it the day is almost gone. I don't really like that part, but such is life right now! It's hard to plan far out at this point because right now, her schedule for the day really depends on how long she sleeps at night. I haven't been tired once, simply because right now I can sleep late:) I am hoping to have her on a "tighter" schedule by the time I go back to work...but for now we are just taking it day by day.
There was such a huge difference in her first week and second as far as how I felt. By the second week, I was MUCH less worried about her every move, and was ready to start getting out and about. In fact, Mikey and I had our first date night on her two week birthday. YAY us! My favorite time with her is snuggling on the couch togehter, she loves to lay on her side so I will snuggle with her right beside me and just watch her in awe. I know my maternity leave is going to fly by, so I am really trying not to jam it packed full during the week....weekends are fine to be busy but I am enjoying having no schedule/agenda during the day so I can truly enjoy this time with my favorite girl.
We went to the doctor on her two week birthday and she was weighin in at 6 lb 11oz, so only 1 oz away from her birth weight, yay! She had also grown a half inch:) Breastfeeding is going really well, and I am thankful for that. At this time, I don't really know how long I am going to do it, it really depends on how it goes when I go back to work...but I hope to breastfeed for at least 6 months, so I hope that pumping at work will be good with her! Okay, enough rambling...time for some pictures! Out of order of course.
Getting some loving from my cousin Belle.
I attended my FIRST GAMECOCK baseball game on Saturday March 3, GO COCKS!!! We beat the Clemson Tigers:) Collins slept thru the whole game with the exception of when I took her to the family restroom to nurse. She was a perfect angel. We kept her bundled up in her car seat with a blanket and draped Mikey's rain jacket over her for added protection from the cold. It wasn't too cold until the end of the game...I started getting a little worried but when we got home and I went to change her, her little body was so warm so I think she was just fine!
Go cocks!
Mommy and Daddy leaving to go on date night! Thanks so much to Lolly and Granddaddy.
Sleeping on my daddy...making my mama's heart melt.
Glenn grandchildren.
Mama and her girl!
Meeting my Aunt Brannon:)
Snuggled in daddy's arms.
In my tanning bed, thank goodness that only last a week.
Family picture!
Love this picture...so sweet.
My first playdate with my best friends Mary Brooks and Harper! Mary Brooks (far left) was born on 2.12 and Harper (middle) was born on 12.29, their mama's are my best friends, so fun to have little girls so close together.
I'm trying to get better about posting more because I know I will appreciate this one day...but our home computer is not the fastest and I prefer to blog from my computer instead of the Ipad. Again....I need a few more hours in the day! Off to watch the Moms on Call seminar for what to do now:)
