I can't believe it's already been 3 weeks!

Wow...time goes by fast with a newborn. You have no idea how you are gonna survive then all of sudden you realize you've made it 3 weeks on 63 hours of sleep! I think I may have a little help from above;-) So after the jaundice, Wynter never did quite make it back to her birth weight. So last week with her weighing 7lbs 8oz, my goal was to get her to 7lbs 10oz in a week. Seems simple in theory. Ahh...no, she didn't gain one ounce in a week. How is that even possible? So now my day is consumed with her eating. A bottle of formula, then about 10 minutes on me, then pump, then do it all over again. Poor thing can't get to sleep now her belly is so bloated, so that means no sleep for me either;-)
She sure is a lot of fun though and sooo cute! She changes everyday to me and gets more and more alert. I love how she just gazes up at the ceiling or straight into my eyes. She's pretty aware of my voice too. I love watching her turn her head side to side to find what direction I'm in.

Here is a picture of the nursery. It's so pretty and peaceful. Jason painted the stripes on the wall and I painted her crib a warm silver color. I had a lot of help from friends and family with the nursery too. Thank you Karly for the bumper pad and thank you Danya for the curtains. I love having crafty domestic women in my life.


So cute, she found her thumb. I don't know if that's a good thing, but its cute and keeps her quiet until I'm ready to feed her.



So I needed to make sure that my little dancer was comfy in a tutu. We did a little photo shoot, she wasn't too thrilled about it.

I love blue so I couldn't wait to put this little outfit on her. LOL! She looked like a little boy so I threw on some pink socks.


Karly is so nifty. She made Christmas PJs for all the kids. We took them over to Nana's house to get a picture in front of her beautiful tree. LOL! Yeah right, that went well.
