4 weeks and counting!

This first month has flown by! Camryn is starting to wake up a little bit more--of course not always when I would like it, like 4 AM. We love her alert times! She has such big, beautiful eyes and she LOVES to stare at the fans and pictures on the walls...it's too cute to see her entranced! She is starting to fight going to sleep when she's tired which is so NOT fun! I'm reading Happiest Baby on the Block and getting some good pointers but I'm always open to more!! Brett has been great with letting me get some sleep when he's home. He'll get up with Camryn in the morning and watch her so I can get a few hours of undisturbed sleep which has been lifesaving! Our friends have been great with bringing by meals! It has been so nice not to cook as much! Also, Brett's mom and my mom have come over and watched Camryn for a couple hours to allow me to run some errands childless which I so took for granted!! Today we took our first walk. It was a gorgeous 65 degrees so we couldn't pass up enjoying the day, plus I need to get back to exercising!

A little bit about Camryn--She is definitely a pacifier girl, don't you dare take it away from her! She doesn't just poop, she explodes, so watch out or your clothes or carpet or bed skirt will be ruined. She doesn't eat, she inhales her food! It can never get in there quick enough and she will only burp on occasion, it is never a guarantee! She loves to sleep still and is an all around good sleeper. She is a squirmer and already loves to lift her head and look around, such a strong little girl!

Friday is our one month appointment and we can't wait to find out how much weight she has gained! I call her my "chunky monkey" because of how active she is and how much she loves to eat! We'll see if that translates into ounces! Friday we are also going to the huge Kids Consignment sale at the state fairgrounds with our neighbors to look for a bunch of things we need for lil miss that we haven't bought yet. I'm excited to see what deals we can find!

I'll post more pictures soon!

Oh--BTW--whoever said babies average 10 diapers/day LIED!! I need to buy stock in Pampers!!

Wow! She's 2 weeks already!

Camryn sleeping through her first photo shoot!

The past two weeks have flown by! The holidays have definantly helped time pass even quicker! We hardly were home for the first week which made having a schedule really hard. Camryn had a pretty bad case of jaundice the first week so we were feeding kiddo around the clock! The hard part with that is she's a sleeper and it took just as much time to wake her up as it did for her to eat. Fortunately in the last week she wakes up on her own to eat--which is great for Jenna so she gets some sleep in between feedings. She still loves to sleep but definantly knows when she is hungry! Lil chunker went from 6 lbs 11 oz last week to 7 lbs 6 oz this week, so you know she is eating enough. So far she looks like she has Brett's eyes and Jenna's nose and mouth. But you know how that can change!

We have so many hilariuos diaper changing stories, just like I'm sure everyone does. The funniest are of course with Brett trying to change dirty diapers...haha...you can probably imagine.

Yesterday Camryn had her newborn pictures done by a great friend and awesome photographer Nancy Ray. We all had a great time and can't wait to see all the pictures, we are going to have a hard time choosing...I have a feeling the house is going to be covered in pictures of Camryn!!

Jenna's parents have been over a lot and been a great help! Tomorrow "Nana" is watching Cam at the hair salon so Mom (so weird) can get her hair cut. "Pops" and "Nana" love holding and spoiling Camryn already! They come over several times a week and she loves to be held!

So obviuosly so far things are going well! Breastfeeding is getting into a routine and Jenna is starting to feel more normal...just weird that she doesn't have to go to work. We'll keep you all posted!
