She is doing very well... We have her on Nutramigen formula and it seems to be helping the gas issues, although it's still not perfect. She had symptoms of a milk allergy and now many of those are gone (dry skin being a major one). Wednesday we go to the pediatrician so I'll ask more about it. She's getting her first shots (oh no!) where I have to be present to witness them (the very first one was in the hospital, out of my view). Luckily Russ is going with me...
My mom is visiting this week!! Finally. She hasn't seen her since she was 2 weeks old. I feel so guilty about living so far away. I'm thrilled that she'll be here soon.
Thursday night I begin teaching the parenting class that I've been teaching for a few years. It's geared toward parents of teenagers (I'm a middle school counselor) and it's one of my favorite things that I do. Of course now that I've actually been a parent for short amount of time, I have a whole new respect for it!! I'm trying very hard to not judge how others parent because in this short time, i realize that we try our best, but sometimes we just don't know what the heck we're doing!! When I agreed to teach the class, I thought it would be nice to get out of the house while I'm on leave. But now that it's here, i sort of wish i wasn't doing it. I need the money for Christmas gifts though so I need to remember that. It's only for 5 weeks.
Our birth announcements finally went out this week. I LOVE the picture we got. We took it ourselves and I think it turned out beautifully. We put her on the bed and covered our pillows with the sheet. I stuck my hand under the sheet to support her head - you can see my hand to the left of her head. Seriously, she gets cuter every single day. I know I'm not supposed to say stuff like that but if I can't say it YOU (who I'm always brutally honest with), then who can I say it to? =) Here it is, she's 7 weeks old here:
Happy 2 months! She is absolutely adorable!
ReplyDeleteSophia is beautiful and that picture is amazing. Thanks for sharing with us! Happy two months. Good luck at the doctor!
ReplyDeletePS I learned the hard way not to feed her before hand because there is an oral vaccine that obviously tastes horrible. Isa threw up ALL OVER THE PLACE after she got it. At four months I didn't feed her before and she took it like a champ. Just so you know!
I am loving that girl from afar. She certainly is cute! I think the night class is wonderful and as much as you dont want to go, it might end up being something you enjoy. Sophia can get special daddy time :)
ReplyDeleteI love your baby!!! She is SO super cute. I can't believe they're already 2 months old, and I'm also dreading the shots this week. :(
ReplyDeleteGorgeous picture!! (I know I never comment anymore, but I am reading all your posts!!)
ReplyDeleteIsn't motherhood the most wonderful thing EVER!!
Hope her shots go ok. Morgan has hers tomorrow and I'm a nervous reck over it!
