7 weeks and lookin good!





Sophia was a whoppin 9lbs 12 oz last week, I just love her little rolls! She has reflux and so we are on medication and REFLUX PROTOCOL (sounds official like the FBI or something). She prefers to sleep in her carrier right now because it is uncomfortable for her to lay on her back. I'm sure as her reflux settles she will be able to sleep on her back or side again. We are having so much fun dressing up and playing. She sleeps great at night and always has, lets hope it sticks. It's the day time naps that usually get interrupted by poo or upset tummy. She has started "talking" a little, it is soooo adorable. I know she will be doing more and more each day!

Four Weeks-Life at Warp Speed





Sophia is 4 weeks old now, wow how fast it came! She is now a whoppin 9lbs 1oz! I can't believe how fast babies grow. She is trying to coo a little and makes the cutest noises. I can't wait until she begins babbling! We are having fun going for walks, taking baths, and playing! I am soo excited for Halloween. Sophia is going to be the cutest spider around.

Growing Girl






Sophia is growing like a weed. On Friday she was up to 7lbs 3 oz and almost 21 inches long. Sophia and I are starting to get into a groove, how long it will last I do not know!!!! We have had some rough days where her schedule was out of whack, but with continued effort and consistency I know she will continue to be a happy and healthy baby. I've finally been able to do the regular everyday things again like shower, make-up, make dinner, laundry, read! It has been so much fun watching her grow and change every day. She is having fun with bath time, and I swear she grins at me! (don't dash my hopes and tell me its gas!!!!!!!!!!!!) Are adventures have included a poo fest at the Dr, where she proceeded to squirt out poo all over mom and dad as we were changing her diaper. It was not until later that I discovered it (yellow poo) all over my jeans! Oh the joys of motherhood, I couldn't help but laugh until I peed my pants!

Note about one of the pics:
Dad and Sophia have the same sleeping habits, who would've known!!!!

Sophia Grace





She's finally here! Sophia was born on Friday morning August 15th at 8:13 am!!!! My waterbroke Thursday night at 6:30 and then 14 hrs later she was here! She was 6lbs 13 oz and 19 in long. After a low blood sugar scare for the first 24 hrs she was doing great! We had a little trouble with feeding but now the little snorter is moving and grooving! Friday will be her 2 week check up. Time does fly and each day is a new adventure. Can't wait to post more about what she is doing. She is such a strong baby already. She can roll over onto her side and lift her head up for brief periods of time. Can't wait to see what is in store as she grows!

33 weeks: Someone get this baby out of me!!!


Well, all along I have been saying how pregnancy has been so great and so much fun. I have finally hit the point where fun is gone and in its place is heartburn, huge ginormous swollen body parts, rapid water weight gain, and difficulty sitting, standing, rolling, eating,......! I have about six and 1/2 weeks left minus or plus a few: since babies usually don't come when they are supposed to. Even though I may not look it (some may beg to differ) I feel like I weigh a bazillion pounds.


On another note I am very excited about a shower some of my friends are throwing me tonight, and the shower my MiMi and other friends are throwing this weekend. The babies room is close to being done, and after the showers I can't wait to put the finishing touches on everything! I can't wait to pack for the hospital and know I have everything I need! I know this is just a fantasy, but a girl can wish.
