It's been a while...

It's been a while is an understatement.. So much has changed and happened in the past few months, so please excuse my lack of blogging. I will try to be better.

The last time I posted it was about her 1 month check-up.. We did not go to her 2 month check up on time. Most of you who read my blog know that my brother passed away on February 24. So most of the weeks around that time are a blur. I am going to skip posting about that situation and stick to posting about my sweet little peanut.


Like I said 2 months was a blur I didn't even get to take a 2month picture. Her 2month appointment was actually on March 5. So just a couple weeks late. Here were her progress report from the pediatrician:




Her weight was in the 50th percentile
Her Head was in the 60th percentile
Her Height was in the 80th percentile :) duhhh

A lot of our second month we battled bad baby gas pains :( My poor peanut struggled for weeks, but has since improved :) Thank god. We tried lots of tricks the people have told us. A little excersises some heat and tummy pressure seemed to always help.. We also finally mastered breastfeeding after two months we finally figured out that Vi was tongue tied which actually had nothing to do with her tongue it was that little piece of skin connected from your upper lip to your gum was more connected than necessary. I learned some tricks to work with it and now she eats great...

Here are a few pics from month 1-2months...













3 MONTHS.. Where has the time gone! I can't believe I have a 3 months old. She is growing so fast. This month so far is about routine she is starting to become a lot more predictable with feedings/naps etc. This is her normal schedule

7:30 AM Wake Up & Feed
8:00-10:00am Playtime (we do tummy time play on her matt and bouncer the finish off in the swing)
10:00-11:00 Morning Nap
11:00-1:00 Play time
1:00-4:00 Afternoon Nap
4:00-7:30 is a mix of play time maybe a quick cat nap here and there
7:20pm Feed
7:30pm Bath
8:00 Bed time..

She now sleeps pretty much throughout the night. She sleeps from about 8-4 which is enough for me. With breastfeeding I prefer her to wake up between 3-4 that way its still easy for her to go right back to sleep. She normally sticks to this schedule give or take an hour EXCEPT bedtime.. Im pretty strict about that.

This kid fights sleep like a champ. I so hope its a phase.

She is becoming a much better traveler. She used to scream when we put her in her car seat but its much easier now. We will really put this to the test over the next few weekends. This weekend we will be traveling to Birmingham and the following weekend we will be taking our first plane flight to St. Augustine to visit my sister n law and the kiddos for a long weekend. So lots of things going on.


Here are some 2-3 month pics:













3-4 month so far:























post again soon!!!!

1 Month Check-Up

Everything went great our Big girl had gained a little over two pounds since her birth weight of 7lbs 11oz and has grown 1.25 inches since her birth height.

The appointment went great. Her skin looks fantastic. Which is a huge improvement. We had taken her in Monday to get checked out and her baby acne was pretty bad but it has almost completely gone away. The dr was impressed with the quick turn around.

Everything looked great as far as her height,weight reflexes all that. He said she is really strong which I already knew :)

She did have to have some blood work done which involved a foot prick which she was not a fan of,but he eventually calmed down and all was right in the world again. She slept a for 4 hours after the appointment which was great. Her Honey was able to watch her so I could get a 3 hour nap. :) I feel like a new woman!!

Here are a few pics from her visit.









Time to shed those pounds!!!

I'm so excited to be able to start going back to the gym next week!! (Pending Dr approval this week) I have been itching to go since I found out I was pregnant! I miss all my classes and I'm really going to make an effort to start running. I don't know why I suck at it but I always opt to do classes over running.

Well here goes nothing.


Total Weight Gain w/pregnancy: 45 pounds

Total Weight Loss so far: 37 pounds

My goal is to lose all the baby weight plus another 27 pounds so from now til then I have 35 to go!!


I will make sure to post progression pics
