A pound a week!


A pound a week is about what she has been gaining and what I have been loosing. Haha.


Last week at our class she weighed in at 9lb 3oz! And today when we went she is 10lb even! Holy moly! At the rate she is going at, she will be 52 pounds at her first birthday. On a good note, the lactation lady told me that BF fat cells are smaller then formula fat cells, so it should all even out. :)


And I have stalled my weight loss at 30 lbs. Darn! I still have about 12 to go, but I can fit into all my old clothes! All is good :).

Still growing!

Rylee and I went to our breastfeeding class on Thursday (with Nana!) and she got weighed again... and she is ---------- 8lb 3 oz!!!!!!!!!!! WOW! I thought she would tip the 8lb mark... But really... wow!

And she had a night out with Nana and Papa VT last night. Brad and I went out to dinner and a movie to celebrate his 30th b-day and sent Rylee off for the evening. It was harder then I thought! We only checked in once on her so I was impressed. Although, I kept hoping that the move was going to end soon so I could see my girl again! Never thought I would miss her that much...

And she is on a "schedule"!!! At night she starts sleeping around 9pm and gets up around 2:30... then sleeps again until 6:30! Its great... and yes, still waiting for her to change but I don't think she is going to!

Growing like a weed!

Our little girl is packing on the pounds! I had her weighed at a BF class last week Thursday and she was already up to 7lb 7oz! I will love to see where she is at now!

She is such a good baby, we are really blessed! She usually goes 3.5 hours at night, but last night was even better! She slept from 8:30 pm to 2:30 am! I ws SHOCKED when I woke up at 1:30... I checked on her and decided to let her sleep! It was awesome!

Today I have been thinking of the parts of pregnancy that I miss. I really miss feeling her move around in there. I can hardly remember what it really felt like. I also really wish (as crazy at it sounds) that I could go back and deliver her again! We had a great experience during the process, I just wish I would have taken more time to "remember" it all. I dunno...

Healthy Baby!

We left the hospital a day early on Sunday night. And Rylee did great. It has been so nice to be back at home. She feeds during the night about every 3.5 hours and for only about 15 minutes. I feel very blessed, but am waiting for it all to change :).

We took her to the doctor on Tuesday to check her jaundice (still looking very good, same as it was in the hospital so we get to wait it out) and have her well baby checkup. She was 6lb 14 oz when she was born and left the hospital at 6lb 8oz. They like to see them back to their birth weight at 2 weeks. Well, four days later (and keep in mind, she was last weighed on Sunday) she was already up to 6lb 15 oz!!!! I felt SOOOO happy!!!! The doc told me I should bottle my milk and sell it on ebay. :) haha. I felt so good about that. Its been alot of fun and work to breastfeed her... and at times painful, but seeing how well she responds brings tears to my eyes!!!

Well, thats all for now...
