Yesterday I weighed you, 8lbs... but that was with your clothes and a diaper on, I just don't have the heart to undress you down to nothing just to get a for sure weight. The midwife took off 6oz for clothes and a diaper, so by following this rule you are 7lbs 10oz. Not too bad! You're gaining well :D
You sure are quite timely in your schedule for your day. Right now you are fast asleep in your swing (yay! You still don't like to be put down, so this is quite a treat for what I have to get done in the house!) but I suspect you'll wake up here shortly to eat again, only to fall back asleep for another couple of hours. Come 4pm though, you're like a ravenous baby.... you seem to just want to stay attached and eat constantly. Last night as you stayed nursing for quite some time, I wondered if maybe this was why you slept so well at night... you filled yourself up to the brim :)
You were pretty sleepy last night, but I was able to take a few pictures for your dad. Well, of course it's only fair for him to watch you grow, you change daily!! But, it saves him from his wonderful parents who seem to come on near nightly asking if he has new photos :) It's been so sweet to hear how excited they are to watch you grow also. I'm so thankful that from half way around the world they are able to do this.
The eyes are going.... dreamland is close!
Such beauty
Every day my love grows for you. You are so beautiful and so amazing. Your jaundice is starting to go away, every day more so, leaving your skin showing this beautiful complexion. Your eyes are clearing also, showing your big beautiful dark eyes. I still can't kiss you enough!
This morning as I was lying in bed with you across the top of my chest sleeping, Katie started jiggling my tummy. It's quite humerous to feel where you use to fully fill in a space when you were snuggled inside of me, it's now all squishy and wiggles like a bowl full of jello :) Katie went to blow bubbles on my tummy and started laughing, "Alyssa, watch!!! Moms tummy sucked in my face!" Thank you my lovely Katie, ROFL!!! I guess I do encourage honest speaking from my children, and with that sometimes what they come up with just makes me laugh :) Not for much longer my dear Katie.... but oh how worth every change in my body has been worth bringing you here Emily :)
Sleepy Smiles
Listening to mama....
.... A few thoughts to share herself
Tonight you're going to go to your first concert. Your sisters are SO excited! It's our neighbors preforming, they have a pretty great band! Last summer they use to play outside until our next door neighbors complained, so now they practice inside the house. When I take care of the horses I usually can hear them practicing, it's enjoyable to listen to. I sure look forward to tonight.
I've invited two people, you're dad and Julie. Julie hasn't met you yet, she sure is excited to! Six years ago she had a dream where she saw an asian man standing over me looking at a baby girl I held in my arms. She thought it was Steven (Mimi's dad) but maybe it was you and your dad :)
How my life has changed, and how much it's been enriched by you. I love you, my beautiful princess :)
