Weight: 11lbs 15oz
Height: 23 3/4in
Size Diaper: 1
Size Clothes: Newborn, 0-3 months, and a few 3 month outfits (they are still a little too big on her)
Eating: Nurses every 2.5-3 hours during the day. When I pump and give her a bottle she takes anywhere from 4.5-5 ounces. She does great with bottles, which I am very thankful for. She only gets one or two every couple of days, but it is good to know that she will take them when needed!
Sleeping: At night she has about a 7-8 hour stretch, followed by a 3-4 hour stretch. She is waking up for the first time in the morning pretty consistently at 5:00. She will go back down for a few hours after eating then, but I would love for that to be pushed back to 7 or so, so that we could just start the day then! For naps, she takes about 3 full naps (anywhere from 1-2 hours) and a cat nap at night before bath time and her bed time feeding. I am INCREDIBLY grateful for our wonderful sleeper!!! She sleeps best on her tummy, but at night we still have her swaddled in the miracle blanket and in the rock n' play in our room. I know she would do fine on her stomach at night, but it makes me nervous while she is still so little. As soon as she is turning over with more confidence I will feel more comfortable letting her sleep the night on her tummy.
She has started smiling a lot, which melts my heart! She will look around, then lock eyes with you and give you a big smile...precious!
She has rolled over from her tummy to her back once. Watson and I love to cheer her on every time she's tried to do it since that time.
This little girl is L.O.V.E.D by her big brother. Oh my goodness he is precious with her. He loves giving her kisses, laying down next to her, and holding her hand. He is very protective over her and concerned for her whenever she starts crying. I hear "Emma cwying" many times a day :)
Emma has set her routine/schedule pretty much on her own. I am still so thankful for the book, "Spirit Led Parenting" as it has helped to ease my mind so much when it comes to staying on a strict schedule every single day.
Nursing is still going well. I have had mastitis twice now, so that's no good, but thankfully I was able to get over both bouts of that and *hopefully* will not get it again! I am just SO thankful that the mastitis was not the same this go-round as it was with Watson. I feel like Emma and I have officially gotten the hang of nursing...I honestly never thought that day would come :) Everyone said, "Give it 6 weeks and you will feel better about it, the pain will be gone, and your baby will know exactly what to do." I'd say that was about right!
And I have to document this...the dreaded day that I came home to my freezer open and had to throw out 21 bags of milk...
Tummy time is hit or miss. Sometimes she loves it, other times she screams bloody murder. ...think she may be a bit dramatic at times :)
Love this sweet angel to pieces!
