Happy 12 weeks Nugget.  It's so hard to believe that she is that old already. Seems like yesterday she was born.  I was hoping she would be 11lbs today but nope :(  Oh well, she's still growin' like a weed.  She can really hold her head up and is a lot more alert and LOVES to be outside.  Getting her to sleep in her crib at night is getting a little better, we're workin' on it.

Happy 11 weeks Nugget!! 10lbs 10oz !!!! Can't believe it's been 11 weeks already.  She is doing great!  Holding her head up like a champ and has figured out she has hands. They aren't just those annoying things that keep popping her in her face.  She can follow a toy and really looks at you and smiles some. She has been sleeping pretty good at night and isn't too bad to get back to sleep after eating. She's a little furnace though so we are trying to figure out her wardrobe.  She is soooooooo hot so she usually hangs out in a onesie and socks most of the time.  But some of her really cute outfits are long sleeve and long pants.....she may only be able to be in those to pose for pics then change.  Check back next week for more updates

Happy 10 weeks Nugget.10weeks=10lbs!!!  Hard to believe!  She's doing really well. Eating 4 oz. now.  Sometimes we can stretch the time between feedings to 3-4 hours but usually it's still around 2 hours.  Night time has become a tad easier. Trying to get her to bed around the same time and she usually sleeps 4-6 hours before waking to be fed. Amazing how being able to get that little amount of sleep at a time actually seems like a LOT.  Who knew I could function on that little amount of sleep. I sure do get lots done when I'm up and going by 7 am each day .  She is very alert and is so strong.  Tummy time is fun, she gets her legs kickin' and can wiggle herself around.  She loves to walk around the house and outside and look at everything.  We are much more willing to take her out places now, we just have to take more stuff with us than we did before we had her. I am realling enjoying my time with her at home, who knew.  Her next doc appt isn't until she is 4 months old ( 4 MONTHS!!!) So that won't be til November. I just can't believe how time has flown by.

Willow had her 8 week doc appt. today.  She's growin like she should. I really need to keep track of the percentiles of her weight, length, and head circumference( I'm a bad mom).  Doc said we need to work on keeping her up more during the day so she will sleep at night.  Also said she should probably be eating more so we are going to try to up her intake.  She had her shots today also. She really did pretty good. She cried when she got 'em but as soon as they were done she fell asleep.  As I write this we've only been home a couple hours so we'll see how the rest of the afternoon/evening goes. She's already outgrown some of her newborn stuff, so I guess that does mean she is growing.  Doc was pretty impressed that Willow had already rolled from her belly to her back , she said they don't even ask about that til the 4 month visit. So YAY for our overachiever!!!!  I sure am enjoying this. I really didn't think I would be a good SAHM or if I even wanted to be a mom.  I'm am really glad we decided to do this.

Happy 8 week Nugget !!!!  Willow is really growing.9lbs 9oz. SOOO close to 10 lbs.  I just know by the time she has her next doc appointment on Wed. she will be 10 lbs.  She is much more alert and the other day actually rolled over from belly to back on her own.  Way to go Willow. What an over achiever!!!!  She has yet to roll from her back to her belly but I know it's only a matter of time.  She has been sleeping for up to 4 hours at a time at night which is AWESOME!!!!  Keep it up and we'll be getting HOURS of sleep soon!!!
You know I didn't know anything about babies before having Willow but everyone said I would know just what to do . And you know what??? They were right! I just seem to know what to do, it's so strange and I"m having such a good time staying home with her.
