2 Months Already

Breann is going to be 2 months tomorrow and today she had her visit with the doctor. The doctor says she is doing great and is healthy for a 2 month old. Then it was time for the shots. Now I felt like I was going to cry before the nurse even came in to give the shots but I wasn't tearing up because I know she was going to cry or because it was going to hurt. I was crying and praying that the shots were going to do there job and not cause her to become autistic. The doctor reassured me that the studies are still inconclusive and it is better to have the shots then not too. I guess this is called a mother's worry when people tell you good news and you still think about the bad. She is doing well and after the appointment we went shopping, which made us both feel better.

Random thoughts

Just to catch people up on myself and the baby.

* Breann is holding her head up more and more. She is 7 weeks now and is making little baby noise's that is so cute.

* I was given an extra 2 weeks of disability. For reason's with the body no woman should have to experience and the requirements of my job gave me extra time off.

* My family gave me a belated baby shower this last weekend and my sister's and my mom did a great job. Most of the family was able to greet Breann for the first time and welcome her to the family. Oh my, Bree is going to be one styling little baby.

* My friend Nicole is awesome, I was thinking that I needed to get some shirts for myself. Nicole gave me a little gift which was this cool shirt from Toes on the Nose (a great surf shop for those who didn't know). Also she got a cute little onsie for Breann.

* Jeff's softball team from church won the championship game this weekend.

* Ever wonder if you acted rude after the fact. I feel that sometimes I have pregnancy brain and I am not realizing my words or actions until after the fact. So if I have offended you, act or said something rude to you please forgive me and accept my apologies. I am trying to get back on the track and remember that I am not the only important person in this world.

* Also thank you Rita for taking pictures at the baby shower; they look great

Clothes

So I have lost weight but I am not back to my normal weight before the baby was born. This is a problem because as of right now I have graduations and one more baby shower to attend too. I am hoping that I can find something in my closet that is cute and will fit. I had a rude awakening last Saturday when the outfit I was going to wear to a wedding didn't fit. Now I don't want to go out and just buy something right now because I plan to work off the rest of the weight and don't want to buy something I am only going to wear for a few months. Now the funny thing is I tried on one of my maternity dresses and it actually fit pretty well. Of course this was after the wedding.

Now for those who are wondering why I have a picture of Breann on this blog, it is because Amy took a cute picture and I wanted to share.

Six weeks

So last night was the first night that Breann slept a full five hours between feedings. I got to sleep the whole five hours too. She fell asleep around 11pm and woke me up around 4am. After the feeding she was looking around, making baby noise and ginving me little smiles here and there. Haven't quite captured one on camera yet but hopefully soon. I can't wait tell she starts kooing at me but I love the facial expressions she makes. She lifts her head up when it is tummy time and loves sleeping on her daddy's belly (I have a picture of the two but Jeff won't let me put it up). She is getting so big and strong and I can't believe she is already six weeks. I plan on her making her first church apperance this Sunday.

Sleep Little One

I can't believe that Breann is a month old. I was looking back at some of the pictures Sara and Amy took the first week she was home and she looked so tiny and small. Now she looks like my niece Lexi when she was born (Lexi was a big baby). Jeff and I are still fighting our nights with the little one, for some reason she thinks it is a great time to fuss and cry. We have learned other soothing ways to calm her down but figuring which one will work that night is becoming a challenge. But in the morning Breann and I will lay on the couch and watch Deadliest Catch and try to beat the heat.

Mother's Day Weekend

So I had a great Mother's Day weekend. Saturday morning Jeff and I were suppose to go to LA for the Revlon Walk for Women's Cancer but I was really tired and we also had plans to go to San Diego for Mother's Day with my family. My aunt and uncle were down from Seattle and they were able to see Breann before having to leave. Sunday morning Jeff and I went over to my parents house to celebrate Mother's Day with them and later that afternoon we celebrated with Jeff's side of the family. Very busy but fun weekend. Happy Be-lated Mother's Day to all the moms out there.

Journaling

I am trying to get a blog in while the little one is sleeping. Not many people know this but beside the blog I am keeping a little journal for Breann. I try to write in it at least once a week and each time I write a prayer for her. Now my hope is later in life she can look back on this book and read when her first smile was, how her bath times went and eventually her first steps and so on. I am not sure really why I got the notion to do this but I do find it relaxing and comforting when I sit in the room with her while she sleeps and write to her in her journal. Then I read to her for the children's Bible and sing to her before going to sleep. It is funny how your life changes when you focus on something other then yourself.
