My 8-pounder

From 7lbs 8oz to 8lbs even in 12 days. She's a healthy girl my 8 pound beauty.



She's more alert each day. We spend much more time eating and playing now. I introduced her to a rattle sound today,, and she loved it. She even smiled a few times!... Then she lost interest and cried, but those smiles were priceless while they lasted! My mom's still here and she'll vouch for those purtty smiles too. Of course, more alert time means less sleep for me and much more time breastfeeding. That alone takes a lot out of me, but its worth it.

OK, well its late and I have an hour before she wakes up to eat, so I'm going to run to bed and grab a few minutes of shut eye. Wish me luck. Oh, and happy two weeks in the world tomorrow Cheyanne. Sniff sniff.

I will leave you with this. Pictures from Chey's first bath from last week, a sponge bath only since her umbilical cord hadn't fallen off yet. These pictures are a little late, but oh well. Thank you Nana for your continual assistance in the bath area since Cheyanne seems to like pretty much EVERYTHING else more than a bath.

This is how it began. Calm.

And this is what it became. Brutal.

Nana and Peapod made amends

She slept it off. It was traumatic.
