We have our next check up with Dr. Zuniga on October 5th, but so far, so good with her growth! We were a little concerned about her lack of dirty diapers, but we're accepting that our little gal doesn't poopie every day. Next up on our plate, gas and reflux. No one said it was going to be easy!!
My parents and Scott's mom and Garry have been so wonderful to us, as well as our friends and family. Scott and I have gotten to go on two dates already!! Once four our 2 year wedding anniversary and once for his birthday. We're so blessed to have everyone want to pitch in to help us so much. We always took advantage of "running a quick errand" or "meeting friends out" and now, our lives are very different...much more fulfilled, but different. We can't imagine our lives without our sweet angel, but our schedules have to be fully mapped out around her feedings, diaper changes, and moods. She's kind of a fussy little gal when she's hungry and doesn't get fed right away or when she has a wet diaper and doesn't get changed right away. The big one though, is when she doesn't feel well and all she wants is a good cuddle, and you're in TARGET. I've managed my way around motherhood though the very best way I know how. I get plenty of mommy advice from my fellow mommies. I am constantly trying to learn about her and how I can make her transition from mommy's belly to being in the outside world. As Scott put it, she's fussy sometimes because she is just figuring out that she's not going back to my belly where she was fed when she wanted, didn't have to wear diapers, clothes, and those ridiculous bows!! It was dark, mostly quiet and she constantly got bounced as I moved around about my day. We're happy that she's here though in the outside world with us! We have so much to teach her and share with her!!
As far as her development is concerned, she's starting to smile a lot more, she totally reacts to me tickling her feet and giving her belly zerberts! She loves when you gently stroke her nose (her sweet spot) as she drifts away to sleep. When I feed her, she always looks for my fingers with her hand and she holds on while she slurps away at her meals. I knew I had quite the water baby because when I would take showers and let the water hit my belly, I could feel her dancing about in her little home. Now, when I put her in her tub at her bath time, she lies in her little sling in the tub and kicks her powerful little legs. She hums to her own music and smiles her little Popeye smile and just stares at me. It's priceless!! She's discovered that she can suck on her hands until she is fed and that when she fusses, we rub her belly and it's all better.
