Bailey Anne: 2 Months

Weight 11 lbs 12 oz, 23 in. long

Clothes 0-3, size 1 diapers

During the day she is eating every 3 hours, during the night anywhere from 4-7 hours. We had our first 7 hour night this month. It was incredible!!! Although I did wake up multiple times and check if she was breathing.

She is doing so much better at napping as I have created more of a routine. I like to follow a routine but usually stress if I set my routine too strict, since she is still young I have a routine of what we do but not at certain times due to different wake up times, etc. It is pretty much Eat, play, nap, repeat. Play is either tummy time, laying on her play mat, swinging (which she loves now) or an outing.

Personality: She smiles and laughs so much now, and tries so hard to talk to us and mimic what our mouths are doing.

She is a curious girl and very observant. It is hilarious when I walk with you, you turn your head back and forth back and forth real fast to look at everything we are passing. You will stare at your toys, mirrors, etc for a few minutes but a lot of your time is spent starting at ceiling fans, light fixtures (it is hilarious to watch your face when we turn it off and on), the couch, paintings, and other things around our home. Makes me think you could maybe have a love for home décor just like your momma!

We have had a lot more outings this month as you have started to like your car seat and the car much more, We have been to home goods quite a bit, academy, target, various other stores, and your first girls night!

She also had her first road trip this month, to Horseshoe bay! She did amazingly well, I was so proud! We only had to stop once on the way up there and didn’t even have to stop on the way home!! I was nervous at first but now feel confident about taking future trips!

Bailey Anne: 1 month

my little girl turn 1 month old recently! At her 2 week old appointment she weighed in at 8 lbs 8 oz. but I recently hopped on the scale with her and she was about 9-10 lbs!

She definitely has changed in appearance in the past couple weeks, when she was born she was a spitting image of her dad but as those chunky precious cheeks and big blue eyes have come in, I see a little more of myself!

She was 21 in. long at her 2 week appointment and is wearing newborn and 0-3 clothes. Although the newborn sleepers with feet are probably ready to be retired any day now *tear

The past month has been so much fun, with her changing SO much every day! When we brought her home, I loved how small and delicate she was, I kept saying I never wanted her to grow but the more she changes, the more joy she brings us each and every day! She is starting to focus and smile so much which melts my heart and although she was trying to lift her head at 2 days old (overachiever!) she can definitely hold her head up much better and turn her head from side to side. She LOVES to kick and has strong little legs, which I knew long before she was here!

She is the cuddliest little baby and LOVES to be held, snuggle up to my face and sleep in our arms. I have to remind myself at times when I feel like I’ve done NADA all day long that one day I won’t be able to hold onto her long enough, so enjoy these moments when I am all she wants

She has been a great breast feeder from day one but we have started to supplement a bottle of formula 1 or 2 days a week just to give momma break from time to time. When she does take a bottle she is eating 4 oz. and has consistently been eating every 3-4 hours.

Total bumpdate

Thank you again for ALL the sweet comments and kind words!! It was quite the road getting to where we are now but we could not be happier!! I will go back in time again soon and do wedding posts, house renovations, baby shower and show you the nursery! but I want to continue on with current updates as well. Hope this isn’t too confusing or annoying to anyone!

Here are some pics throughout my pregnancy!

And here I am this week!

(36 weeks)

I apologize for poor quality and lack of photos I was really bad about taking them!

Total weight gain/loss: I’m at 23 lbs.  She has been measuring big pretty much the entire time! My due date is April 30th but at my last appt. my Dr. could already feel her head and scheduled to induce me April 23rd (If I make it ‘til then)!!
Maternity clothes? I got away with wearing my clothes for quite some time! I had to switch over to only wearing jeggings, leggings and dresses around 6 months but could still wear my tops. When I popped, I bought some tops from Motherhood and maternity jeans from Target (which are SO comfortable!) But I am still wearing my maxi dresses and flowy tops!

Stretch marks? I have been trying to apply lotion and cocoa butter religiously but I have spotted a few….. 

Sleep: I’ve had a great pregnancy, slept great the entire time until about two weeks ago. Its been a little tough between being uncomfortable, having to pee and having heartburn I HATED sleeping and was exhausted! My doctor suggested Prevacid which is heaven sent and I feel like I have been sleeping better but every couple of nights seems to be rough!

Best moment this week:  My favorite moments have been of course, hearing the heartbeat for the first time, seeing my babe for the first time, finding out she was a SHE, feeling her kick, getting the nursery ready, my baby shower and many more!

Miss Anything? being completely honest, margaritas. margaritas and margaritas. they are my favorite drink and I miss them. Also starting to miss my energy and as its getting warmer, I’m missing getting to wear my spring clothes and high heels

Movement: She moves all the time! She loves music (I went to a musical this weekend and the Rockets game last night and she was dancing and cheering along almost the whole time!) My favorite moments are times when I haven’t seen the hubs all day long and as soon as I see him and he starts talking, she starts to kick *she loves her daddy! melts my heart!

Food cravings: In the beginning it was dairy! I drank a gallon a milk every other day and ate Mac & Cheese like it was going out of style, it was crazy. Lately it has been sweets. Cereal, powdered donuts, ice cream!
Anything making you queasy or sick: I am so blessed to say I NEVER got sick! The only thing that I used to love but don’t really sound appetizing anymore is mushrooms!

Gender: Pink, pink, pink!

Labor Signs: I think I’ve had a few minor braxton hicks

Symptoms: my back hurt a lot in the beginning but now really just a draining energy level, heartburn and leg cramps

Belly Button in or out? neither haha, just sort of flat so I’m thinking it’ll turn out any day now…

Wedding rings on or off? On

Happy or Moody most of the time: HAPPY!  with occasional frustrated moments when I start to feel really exhausted but want to keep pushing forward!

 Looking forward to: finishing up last touches in the nursery, and meeting our girl! I talk to her all the time, almost everywhere I go I am introducing her to where we are, can’t wait to actually have her in tow with me!
