6 weeks!? time is flying- and i'm not okay with it! i took adelynn to her check up today and she did awesome. she's 10 ibs 10 oz and 23 inches! nothing but good reports from the doctor! but they did have to give her, her 2nd Hep B shot :( she cried so hard! it broke my heart, but she settled down after a few minutes and went right back to sleep. she is an amazing baby- we're seriously so lucky!
she is ALMOST sleeping through the night- how crazy! she'll eat between 7-8 and we put her to bed around 10 (if not sooner). Then she'll sleep till 5am, eat, and go right back down till about 9am! Her days & nights are finally right, and life is much easier/smoother. Last night we tried out 6 oz and she SUCKED it down! i've fed her twice since then and she keeps sucking down 6 oz so looks like we've moved up! shes a great eater!
we've give her quite a few baths now (she finally has a belly button!) and she loves it, she is so calm and just kinda chills in the water while we bath her- i hope shes a water baby like me & her daddy! this weekend she'll get to sport her first bathing suit! we're hittin the road (first road trip!) to head to charlotte for Lilly's 2nd birthday party! POOL PARTY! Claire is going to have a baby pool set up for the little bitty ones so adelynn will get to hang out in there with me or daddy :) i'm so looking forward to this weekend, i miss the Soignets/Bakers SO MUCH and i'm so glad they'll finally get to meet adelynn! Claire, Aunt Mary, Brynn and Lilly all drove up the day she was born but since she was in NICU no one got to see her- except Claire, she couldnt hold her but we got her in there so she could see her God Daughter :) Kinda nervous about traveling with her the first time but she does awesome in the car, and i think everything will be fine- im way more excited to see everyone :)
i go back to work June 11- its sneaking up on me fast. i keep thinking we'll find a way for me to stay home but its just not realistic for us right now. i cant imagine NOT being with her all day, or someone else taking care of her. i feel like im going to miss so much. joey & i talk about it all the time, it breaks my heart. i'm just really trying to enjoy my time with her now and not think about it. i've never been happier in my life- and i dont wanna ruin it by dreading going back to work.
life has seriously never been better. having a baby has only improved and strengthened joey & i's marriage. we love each other more than ever! i've just never been THIS HAPPY. so stress free, just enjoying my days with my baby girl, and the weekends/nights with joey. i love everything about it.
and i'm finally on the mend! my incision is almost completely closed up and theres no more sign of infection! i go for my 6 week follow up on Friday- will be happy to be done with the doctor for a while! i finally feel normal again, like myself. and i've been blessed with my weight- i was sure i'd have such a hard time losing it. i'm not 100% sure where i started at the beginning of pregnancy- but i'm going to ask on Friday so i have a set goal in mind. i want to meet my pre-pregnancy weight and then lose even more. i was unhappy with my weight before i was pregnant, so while i have the momentum going i want to keep losing! i've lost over 56ibs since the day i delivered! a lot of it was fluid, i had SO MUCH fluid. but i think being home and not eating fast food everyday, drinking coffee or sodas, is really helping too. my portions are smaller, healthier, and i drink water like crazy! i'm in that "in between" stage right now. my maternity jeans are too big but my pre-pregnancy jeans are still too small. frustrating! but i'm back in size small shirts and sundresses which is awesome! at the end of my pregnancy was wearing a 2XL! just gonna try to keep it up.
overall life is amazing. i cant imagine life without adelynn- it has ONLY improved every single aspect of life. i adore her more than i can ever try to express. we are so lucky, and so blessed.
