Our little Lu is 7 weeks old already! She's already changed so much; it breaks my heart that she'll never be this little again. Though I hear from other moms that they all thought their baby's current age was their favorite... until the next age. While I'll really miss the little newborn reflexes and snuggles, I can't wait for her to hug me and giggle and play. I stare at her all the time -- I know every mom thinks this, but I just can't believe my beautiful my daughter is. I'm so blessed to be her mom. In those early weeks, I was so sleep deprived, hormonal, anxious, depressed and scared I felt like she was a crazy little alien in my house. Now I can't imagine not being with her, not feeling the warmth of her head against my cheek, not hearing her little cries.
Health: Her health is fine, but I'm worried about her slow weight gain. I have come to the conclusion that I've let her latch go bad, which has resulted in low supply, which has resulted in her feeding all the time. While I work to up my supply, I've had to supplement more.
Sleep: We're getting anywhere between 4.5-6 hour stretches right now. I was hoping we'd see an uptick after our first 7 hour stretch, but no go. I also attempted to transition her out of the Rock N Play back to the PNP bassinet in hopes of someday getting her to her crib, but she wasn't having it after about 20 minutes. Now that her tummy is getting full, she's taking better naps in the daytime.
Clothes: Officially in 0-3!
Social: The usual running of errands, hospital visits, and dinners out. She generally does pretty well out in public, though hates to be harnessed into her car seat.
Milestones: First diaper blowout. Consequently first time Mom giving a bath solo. Santa!
Love these updates! Can't wait to see you and Lucy in a few days. <3
