Here are some pics of the baby! She is getting so cute and big. She weighed 10 lbs. 2 oz. at her two month checkup at the beginning of the month. She had some yucky shots and was hysterical when she came home for an hour or two. She ran a little fever :( Here are pics of her first snow, a trip to her Great Grandma's, and her bubble "Santa beard". She is sooooooooooooooooo cute! I just want to eat her up! I read her The Poky Little Puppy the other day... her first book! She smiled the whole time and looked at the pictures too :)

Two months old!

Delilah is getting big fast! She has a doctor's appointment in two days and we will see how big she has gotten. She will have to get several shots at that appointment... I am breaking out in a sweat just thinking about it :(

Here are some pics of her on Thanksgiving. I am still a little hormonal because her tights were way too big and I really got upset and cried about it. REALLY?!? It's just a pair of tights!

Getting so big!

Delilah is getting so chunky and big. She is smiling alot now. I still get caught off guard when she does it. I will pick her up to get her changed and say "Hi baby" and she will smile! Here are some cute pictures.

Cute baby or Cranky baby?

Delilah has split personality! Sometimes she is soooooooooooooooooo cute! And then she turns into this little cranky, crying stinker!

In the video I was trying to get her to coo. She is making such cute noises and smiling some lately when you talk to her. I am going to try to get more video of her "talking" today. In between crying fits I guess because she is cranky today!

New pics, Halloween

Delilah is a month old!

She is getting so big! Last night we went to Greg's brother's house for Halloween and had dinner. Delilah was a pea pod for Halloween (should have pictures on here in a day or two). She was so cute! I had to make her costume because all of the pea pod costumes were 0-6 months size and would have been HUGE on her :) She didn't like being in her costume much and only wore it for a combined 10 minutes yesterday. It only took me several days to make!

She goes to the doctor tomorrow so I should be able to update everyone on her weight. Her poor little face is all broken out and I don't know how to help it :( Hopefully the doctor can shed some light on that.

I am getting more used to the routine of being a mommy I think. I only had a meltdown one time this week and I recovered within 30 minutes! It is so much harder to get ready to go places now than it used to be. Just going to Greg's brother's took like 2 hours to get ready for with pumping milk and storing it and washing and sterilizing bottles and diaper bags and feeding and changing and car seats and getting myself a shower and ready and finally eating lunch for myself! I need to always plan on at least an hour and a half to get ready to go someplace I think. She is so wonderful though, it makes it all worth it. I love snuggling her and kissing her. She makes these cute little squeaks and sighs now. She is better than I could have ever imagined. She is getting big fast!

Pictures and video

Remember that if you want to be able to hear the sound on the video you need to go to the bottom of this page and turn down the volume on the music player. Make sure your computer volume is still up though.

She has some real nasal congestion issues

She loves napping with her daddy

Leave me alone!

First trip to the doctor

First bath

She makes a face in this video that looks just like Popeye!

Delilah is getting fat!

I need to get some more pics on here... I just can't believe I seem to be so busy!

Delilah was 6 pounds and 8 ounces at her 2 week appointment. She is 3 weeks old already... it is flying by! I am trying so hard to hang onto every second. She is getting heavy now. She is noticeably bigger already and I am already missing her being so tiny. I hope that I can really cherish every second of her little life... even the times that she is crying for hours on end :)

There have been very hard days and very easy days. She is a good girl. We love her so much. We have had a hard time telling how much she is actually getting to eat with the breastfeeding. I am always feeling stressed that she isn't nursing long enough. So I am basically pumping all of her milk now and feeding her with a bottle. It takes a little more time, but I am not as stressed about her eating habits now. I do miss nursing her all the time though.

I hope to get some updated pictures on here tomorrow. I am just so overwhelmingly busy with here though. I feel so privileged to be able to spend so much time with her and know her so well. She is a totally different person than anyone else on Earth and I get to see her grow every day more than anyone else. No one will know a baby as well as their mom does. It is just so neat!

Update

So Baby Delilah is a week and a half old... and so cute! It has been much harder than I thought it would be to adjust to having a newborn :)

Some days are good and some days she cries all day until I start crying all day too. She and I are having a good day today so far. We have had some challenges the last day or two with the breastfeeding. We gave her a bottle on Sunday and I was so sad about it. I cried some more. I cry alot right now. Must be hormones. I cry when she is cute. I cry when she cries. I cry because I am tired and want someone else to take a feeding but then when we give her a bottle I cry because I would rather breastfeed her. Really? Poor Greg just sittin here watching me and her cry every night!

She is very worth everything we have gone through. I wouldn't trade her for the world. Greg is so wonderful with her (and with me). He is patient and loves holding her and changing her and giving her a bath. She hates her bath right now though. I hope she will like it in a month or so. Then Daddy can have a fun time giving her a bath.

I will try to get some current pictures posted in a day or two. I hope that one day I will get all the pictures we have taken printed out. There are hundreds all ready though, so I will have to be selective! She is already changing so fast... I hope she stays little for a while!

Pictures!
