So my little girl is two months old!

I took her to the dr to get her shots, she is perfect and fat!

I like our dr, when I asked if she was too big, he said NO! I'm not going to tell you she's eating too much. She's perfectly healthy, don't worry about it.

She weighs 15lb 2oz!  23 inches long.

I knew those diapers were getting too tight!

Has anyone heard that letting a baby stand up is bad for their legs?  

Someone told my husband that, I told him it was bologna.. hoping I'm correct!

This is a strange update, I know, but my brain still hasn't gotten back in gear. I've gotten lost and pretty much only barely function. I need help ;)

By help I mean, laundry and dishes and cooking and homeschooling and tae kwon do, and going to the gym...  I'm so tired! And very happy!

Leia Elizabeth was born August 14th at 8:57 am.  She weighed 6lb 15oz and was 20 inches long.

She's perfectly healthy!  

The c-section was scary and took a little longer than expected. I lost a lot of blood and it took three tries to get the spinal in.  After it was all over, I was fine. I didn't get to see her for several minutes, but my husband took a few pictures while they were cleaning her up and weighing her.

The recovery has been uneventful. I'm supposed to make sure and get plenty of iron and rest.  I'm having trouble with the resting part.  My incision is so numb, I can't really feel when I'm doing something I shouldn't. I'm not complaining, but it's a little weird to know i'm supposed to sit aroud and not want to walk when I really feel fine..  

Right now I'm sitting in the recliner holding her and enjoying every minute.  I hate putting her down! I hate even more when she cries! It's a good thing she only cries if she's hungry or cold.. it makes me cry when she does. lol

I'm extremely nervous about this, and even making it more difficult for me to get sleep!

I'm scheduled for August 14th at 8am. I really really hate surgery, I've had bad experiences with it, I know that no one 'likes' surgery.  Still hate it.

I had quite a few contractions over last weekend and I called the doc thinking they would want to check me out, then they said that if I were in labor, they wouldn't stop it anyhow. So I stayed home and played poke the baby till I fell asleep .  When I had my appt. on Tuesday they said I'm soft and dialated, baby still high and they did an ultrasound to check position. She's been moving so much, especially when I lay down. So some days I have no idea what she's doing, but that seems to have stopped now, she's been head down for several days in a row.  The contractions stopped for the most part. I'm not sure whether to be happy about that or not .

Anyhow, we're getting ready for our 3rd anniversary this week!  Going to go out to eat!  I hope I'm hungry, you never know with me these days. 

Too bad they don't have a smiley for excited AND nervous.. lol
