Sally: Three Weeks
Loves: Cuddling with Mommy and Daddy....especially from 5-10 am in the morning. I think that's when we get our best sleep.You also love to EAT! I swear you must be going through a growth spurt. You want to eat...all the time! You also love your swing and making silly faces.
Eating: I am breast feeding only a few times a day. The rest of the time she is drinking either breast milk or formula from a bottle.It's funny how I was ALL about breast feeding until I had to actually do it. It's hard...and frustrating at times. I still want her to have a much breast milk as possible, but formula works so well in the middle of the night. This little girl gets hungry a lot! Joe calls her a little wolverine. She drinks so fast and furious sometimes that she chokes herself...poor baby girl!
Sleeping: I think the sleeping and getting up for feedings has been the hardest thing for me and Joe. We are so exhausted. We have been taking turns getting up with her and feeding her. Joe has been so awesome taking care of her at night when she is just not ready to go to sleep yet...and I am! He takes her and lets me sleep. The normal "schedule" right now is this: we feed her and put her to bed around 8-9. She wakes up for a feeding around midnight, four am, and 7 am...then we usually go back to bed for a few hours.
Clothes: I realized I didn't include this in the other weekly updates! You are waring newborn diapers and newborn clothes...some of the clothes are still a little too big. I feel like you are wearing the same few outfits over and over again. I hope you keep growing. I have a whole closet of clothes that I need you to wear!
Fun Facts: Sally is involved in a speech study through the U of Memphis and has to wear a special recording device on a vest...hence the ugly green vest that you may see in some of the pictures. This is a really cool study. It records the sounds that she makes, the amount of time that we talk to her, etc. Its basically all about speech/language and she gets paid for it...hello college fund!
Mommy Moments: I am still wearing maternity jeans...they are so comfortable...it will be hard to go back to regular jeans. I have lost a total of 25 pounds...yay!
Firsts: Sally had her first bath...and she liked it...she didn't cry once. We tried to make the water warm and kept pouring it over her little body the whole time. Mommy washed your hair and Daddy washed your body. You smelled so sweet afterwards! We brought lunch and visited Daddy at work. I took you to Kroger and Target all by myself. You did great! We took you for a walk around the block. Mommy also went on a power walk for the first time this week...I was tired afterwards!
Sweet Kelly sent Sally and cute outfit and this adorable snack and sippy cup. Love it!!
Mommy loves snuggling you!
Daddy is determined to play his video games....ha! Good thing that you like to sleep on him.
We visited Daddy at work and brought Chinese food for lunch.
I took some pictures of Sally this afternoon. I think they turned out so cute!
Hank gave his sister lots of doggie kisses!
Mad Face!

oh my word, she is adorable!!! too sweet :) she looks like a good mix of you two!
omg these photo of little Sally are adorable! The two are my favorite haha.
She is so pretty Sarah! I'm glad you liked the gift!! I was the same way about breast feeding. We had a very difficult time. I think it's just harder for some people. You just have to do what you can and feel is best for your sanity and not look back!. It sounds like she is a pretty good sleeper too!
She is adorable, many congratulations!
