Amber is growing rapidly and as of yesterday she's surpassed her birth weight - Yay! The nurses have been impressed with her growth so far. Now that we've figured out this whole nursing thing it's been much easier for Amber to pack on the pounds :)
One challenge I'm still having is trying to flip her night and day routines. I realize that it's still early in the game, but she's slowly making the transition and is sleeping for longer periods around 10pm now. She has developed a bit of an 'allergy' to her crib though. Every time I put her down she seems to wake up within 1 or 2 minutes and starts to fuss and cry. Once picked up, however, she's completely content and falls back asleep. I think she might already have us wrapped around her little finger!
I'm healing quickly as well. I even started to workout during some of Amber's daytime naps :) Plus, I try to get out for daily walks with Amber strapped to my chest. She seems to like the fresh air and is completely content in the baby wrap. I'm already in my old jeans again and only have a little of the baby weight left to shed - woohoo!
All in all things have been really great with Amber and I'm impressed at how content she seems to be (during the daylight hours...lol). I'm looking forward to the baby shower this weekend where friends and family will all get to see her.
Good for you, Kristy! I STILL have baby weight left to lose - 18 months later!
ReplyDeleteEventually she will learn to sleep without being held and to sleep at night. For now, enjoy the cuddles - it won't be long before she refuses to sit still for even the briefest of hugs! :)
