2 month ck-up

Holly had her 2 month ck-up today....although she is almost 10 weeks old. She weighed in at 12.9! He didn't tell me what that ranked her as but when I looked online that put her in the 82nd percentile! Much bigger than Ava was... Ava always stayed in the 50% range. But I also was unable to nurse Ava past 3 weeks.... the Doc says I have good MILK! LOL

I have to say.. I am sad I was unable to nurse Ava the way I am with Holly. I resented Ava during the whole nursing process cuz it hurt so bad and it just wasn't working.. and then I felt like a awful mom when I stopped. I wish I wouldn't have beat myself up about it so much... but at the same time... oh how I wish it would have worked.
I am not one of the moms that looks down on formula fed babies.... Ava was one of them. And I know plenty of nursed kids that are sick all the time... and ones that had formula and never seem to be sick. So I will never judge anyone for not.
But for my own self. There is something so wonderful about nursing Holly. I feel so much more connected to her. I love the fact that can do something for her that no one else can do. How long do I plan on nursing... people have asked... I don't know. I am not putting a limit or time frame on it. I am nervous about when teeth come in :-0 Eekk.. but we will take it one step at a time. But I do know I will miss it when I am done.
I will not however miss pumping at work....worrying about leaking and all the fun stuff that comes along with nursing :-) But to me it is worth it! And since we are planning on this being our last baby.. I am so glad I have gotten to experience this.

Holly has been much better in the colic department! I really don't know what it was... we did the chiro... and a week and half later it seemed to come back.. so then we did meds... but not sure that was it either. We are not giving her anything now and she has been so happy. I am just soaking up her smiles and cooing! This months ahead I am going to cherish forever!

Holly Faith 10 days old

With this wonderful weather we had this week we made it outside for our 1st walk. We got all bundled up and had a great time! But we had to get a pic of Holly in her outfit! Can you see her??

Our Valentine

Big Sister!

We had our 1st day/night at home :-) Ava is just loving on her sister..... wondering why she has to sleep so much... but giving lots of kisses! And being such a big helper.

Holly Faith

Holly Faith was born at 4:35 pm on feb. 12th. Moms water broke at 4 in the morning. Contractions started right away. With some help of pitocin and a epiderhal for only 2 hours. Holly came into the world. She is beautiful and perfect. Seems to be laid back and very content so far :-) Thank you for all your prayers. Will update pics in the near future!

Overdue and ready to pop

Well... I never thought this would actually happen to me. But it did. I am officially overdue. I am going to go to the Y and waddle around the track for the last time today.... more for support of my friend who I haven't seen in awhile... and to know what it is like to have to answer...." I was due __ days ago". But until this baby arrives I will be staying inside....watching movies with my daughter and maybe the occasional hang out at Grandma's. I am alittle afraid of how I would react to someone telling me... she will come when she is ready.... and to that poor person that may be out there... I am sorry ahead of time for what I might say:-)
Is this a poor me.... I'm miserable... ventin blog.. Yes it is. I figure I can do that once in my lifetime :-)
I am really going to try and look at today like I just saw on a friends status. Looking at what happens aS 10% and how I choose to react to it is 90%. If I do not have this girl by Monday they will induce me.... and if one of the ladies that is sch. to be induced this week goes into labor and there is a opening. I will be getting a call to come in.
I now I know why people that go overdue kind of fall of the face of the earth type of concept. To my friends calling. I appreciate your caring... I truely do. But until this baby arrives I may not answer my calls. I may not call back. And it is not because I don't care or appreciate you checking in. I do. I really do. But usually.... i am holding back tears and trying to have a good attitude... and it really gets hard after awhile..... I already sound like i have been overdue for weeks now don't I. :-) That's all for now. My next post will be pics of our Baby Girl... whenever she chooses to show us her beautiful face.
