After I laid back down, I
felt a small leak. I thought that was weird and wondered if I just maybe
peed my pants a little? I hadn't had any problems with it all
pregnancy, but who knows what your body is doing. I tried to back to sleep, but it kept happening, so I would just go to the bathroom each time, because I figured surely I must just be peeing my pants!<br />
<br />
From about 2:30 am to 6:30 am I had about 4 more random gushes. When Matt woke up around 3:30 to get ready for work, I told him either my water broke or I'm peeing myself. I figured if it was actually my water breaking (I was mega in denial) that I had some time. I hadn't started contracting at all, so I figured we would be ok. So, he went ahead in for PT. They had a PT test scheduled for that morning that I didn't want him to miss!<br />
<br />
At about 6:30, Matt came home from PT and went ahead and let his sgt know we
were going to the hospital. I slept until about 830 and then took a shower and started
getting ready. I was still not having any contractions at this point. We got Sophia up, I
showered, we packed bags and brought up some stuff from the basement we
might need. I still wasn't convinced I was in labor because I was only 36 weeks and 3 days along.<br />
<br />
I called my OB and talked to the nurse. She advised me to go ahead and head to the hospital so that they could check to see if I had ruptured or not. So, around 1030 am we got to the hospital and got checked in at triage.<br />

The double
checked and sure enough, my water had broke! They started the
paperwork and getting my medical history, etc. because I hadn't preregistered, thinking I still had plenty of time! Tthey called my dr who
said to go ahead and admit me. I was still in denial. I even asked if
they were going to admit me or if they were going to tell me to walk it
off. Lol We called our parents and let them know what was going on. Matt's mom had just arrived in Savannah that day for a Mother's Day weekend with her mom! Matt
left with Sophia around 12 to get her home for lunch and nap. We had a friend come over to the house while she was napping and wait until Matt's dad was able to get there. I got set up in a L&D room around
1230.<br />

When I got into my room, they hooked me up for monitoring and since my contractions still
hadn't started 10 hrs after my water had broken, they started pitocin. I was
nervous about pitocin because I didn't know how my body would react to it and I was worried that I would end up having a C section or that Stella wouldn't tolerate it well. But it wasn't bad at all and both myself and baby handled it fine.<br />

They started at a 2.5 and slowly turned it up
about every 15 mins. For a while, I still wasn't really feeling anything
even though the contractions were showing up on the machine. They
checked me and I was still only 1 cm dilated. They kept turning the pitocin up
and we just waited.<br />

Matt came back to the hospital around 2:30. I had him sneak me in some peanut butter crackers and hard candies. SHHHhhh! The hospital even had huge chunks of Sonic Ice!<br />

Around 6:30 the contractions were beginning to get more intense, so I went ahead and
opted to the the epidural. They checked me after it was placed and I was
only 2-3 cms. It didn't sound like a lot to me, but the nurse sounded
really excited when she checked me and said that it was good that my
body was making progress and it would be slow to start. They said they
would check me again at 10:30.<br />
<br />
Around 10, I started feeling pressure and felt like I needed to poop. Because
my epidural with Sophia was so wonky, I never had that feeling. So when
I told the nurse, she checked me and realized I was ready to push soon!
She called my dr and they started prepping the room and around 10:30 I started pushing. I pushed maybe 6-7 times and she here at 10:57 pm! So much quicker than the first time around!<br />

She sounded great as soon as she came out. She was a tiny little nugget at 5 lb 6 oz, but came out as healthy as a horse. I was worried that because she was early, she would have to stay in the NICU, but that was never even mentioned. She was truly ready to grace us with her presence. :)<br />

<br />
<b>Weight Gain? </b>9 lbs over pre-pregnancy weight<br />
<br />
<b>Am I Showing? </b>There's definitely no denying it.<br />
<br />
<b>Sleep? </b>How many times does one have to wake up to pee at night, seriously? I have to pee before I even lay back down from getting up to pee! <br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Exciting Moment? </b> We started weekly OB visits this week, which makes it really feel "real." I had my first internal check and I was 1 cm and 50% effaced...nothing to get excited over. <br />
<br />
We also had Sophia's second birthday party over the weekend! It was mainly family because we did it in Augusta and kept it small, but she had a blast and that's all that matters!<br />
<br />
Our "family photographer," Jessica came to her birthday and we managed to sneak in a few maternity pictures, too. I was bummed because I didn't think that we would get a chance to do them, so I am thrilled with how they turned out!<br />
<br />
<b>Gender</b>: GIRL!<br />
<br />
<b>Stretch marks?</b> None yet<br />
<br />
<b>What do I miss? </b>Ugh...where do I begin? Mainly I just miss feeling "normal."<br />
<br />
<b>How have I been feeling?</b> I'm pretty over it. I had a mini breakdown after Sophia's party because it's frustrating feeling like you're limited in what you can do and constantly having to ask others (i.e. Matt) for help. He has been stepping up big time, but it's still frustrating. I think every pregnant woman feels this way towards the end. Don't get me wrong, I am so so thankful that this pregnancy has been perfect so far and I'm trying not to wish my time away. It's just a little hard to be in that mindset all the time.<br />
<br />
<b>Movement: </b>She's my little tiny dancer in there!<br />
<br />
<b>Food cravings: </b> Sonic ice, all day long. Whenever we pull in to a Sonic, Sophia asks for "Ice ice baby!"<br />
<br />
<b>Food aversions:</b> None..just hard to fit food in anywhere right now.<br />
<br />
<b>Rings on or off?</b> Still on and loose most of the time.<br />
<br />
<b>Happy or Moody most of the time: </b>A lot more moody this week. <br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Baby "To Do" List: </b>We still have stuff in the basement to dig through and we need to rearrange the furniture in her nursery.<br />

<b>Baby's Development: </b>Stella <span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">is
about the size of a melon! She is measuring about 20 inches and according to our ultrasound this week, she is weighing about 4 lbs 13 ozs! That might not sound like a lot, but I can sure
feel it! her fingernails now reach the end of her fingers. She can also
open and close her eyes..some research shows that her pupils are also
dilating in response to bright lights. At this point she is just
plumping up and gaining that baby weight!</span><br />

<b>Maternity clothes? </b>Leggings and tshirts plus maxi dresses with a higher waist are pretty much where it's at right now.<br />
<br />
<b>Weight Gain? </b>7 lbs over pre-pregnancy weight<br />
<br />
<b>Am I Showing? </b>Oh yea..how is it that it feels so much bigger in real life than it does in pictures? <br />
<br />
<b>Sleep?</b> Soooo sleepy this week. Like...all day exhaustion. I am still getting up 2-3 times a night to use the restroom and take heartburn meds. One night, I literally had to pee 4 times before I actually fell asleep. Luckily, I am able to fall back asleep quickly most nights. I have been napping when Sophia naps pretty much each day this week. <br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Exciting Moment? </b> The highlight of this week was definitely our ultrasound we had! We didn't have a third trimester US with Sophia, so this was a nice treat! Everything measured perfect, amniotic fluid looked great and so did Stella! She measured right about 4 lbs 13 ozs (about 5 lbs is the normal range for 34 weeks) and our Dr. estimated that she'll be in the low 7lbs at birth. We'll see how accurate that is when she gets here! She was squirming around like crazy in there and it was so fun to see her again! Matt got to come to this appointment which was great because he had to miss out on our 20 week appointment since Sophia was sick. He sat with Sophia and she was so sweet looking at the screen. She kept saying "Dance Stewwa" and "Mo Stewwa!" when we were in the back. She kept talking about it after we left. :)<br />
<br />
We also talked about my glucose test at the last appointment. Mine was about 53, which is on the low side, but I passed. Definitely a difference from my first pregnancy where I didn't pass the 1 hr and had to take the 3 hr!<br />
<br />
I'll be going back in 2 weeks and then it will be every week! It's getting real folks! <br />
<br />
<b>Gender</b>:
Girl! <br />
<br />
<b>Stretch marks?</b> None yet<br />
<br />
<b>What do I miss? </b>Being able to eat like normal. Seriously...Im not sure if it's the way she's positioned or what, but this whole pregnancy has been so difficult in the eating department. Like...so full after three bites that I feel like everything is going to come right back up. I try to eat smaller meals more often, but I stay full for so long after I eat that it doesn't always happen that way. Not to be whiny (too late, huh) but I can't wait until that gets back to normal.<br />
<br />
<b>How have I been feeling?</b> Eh...pretty pregnant and everything that goes along with it. I'm super glad I don't have to deal with the back or hip pain. I also haven't had any swelling (yet?) and I'm hoping I'll avoid it this time for as long as possible. The linea negra line I had on my belly last time is nonexistent this time (hooray!) I have been having heartburn pretty regularly and general uncomfortable feeling from carrying around this belly.<br />
<br />
<b>Movement: </b>Yes, always all the time! The US tech and the dr. both commented on what a wiggle worm she is. The other day, Matt was calling her name right into my belly and she kicked him in the mouth! She's a feisty little thing!<br />
<br />
<b>Food cravings: </b>I've discovered Sonic is so much better than Zaxby's...and it's better in the afternoon than in the morning. Hashtag weirdo! <br />
<br />
<b>Food aversions:</b> None anymore, thankfully!<br />
<br />
<b>Rings on or off?</b> Still on and loose most of the time.<br />
<br />
<b>Happy or Moody most of the time: </b>Kinda moody/impatient this week. I can tell I have a shorter fuse and I am trying to be mindful about it. I'm blaming it on just being so tired this week!<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Baby "To Do" List: </b>We have gone through some of the stuff in the basement, but have a few more things to go through. We also need to get the nursery a little more settled in and pull some of the stuff up from the basement. <br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<b>Maternity clothes? </b>Getting to that point where nothing is starting to fit anymore! I don't want to buy any maternity with only 8.5 weeks left, so I'll just suck it up.<br />
<br />
<b>Weight Gain? </b>5 lbs over pre-pregnancy weight<br />
<br />
<b>Am I Showing?</b> Lord yes..it's funny to me, because sometimes I forget about the belly until I try to fit between a tight space and fail. I'm always surprised that it's so big (and going to get bigger!)<br />
<br />
<b>Sleep? </b>I have been randomly waking up around 4-5 am and having a hard time going back to sleep. In my half asleep state, I start panicking about out impending move and how we're gonna work it all out with a toddler and a newborn. And oh yea...we still don't know where we're going yet. <br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Exciting Moment? </b>We got the dresser all put together, so we are all ready to start arranging all the furniture and making it homey for the 2 months she'll be in it. :)<br />
<br />
<b>Gender</b>:
Girl! <br />
<br />
<b>Stretch marks?</b> None yet<br />
<br />
<b>What do I miss? </b>Just not feeling uncomfortable all the time. Same ol' third trimester pregnancy complaints.<br />
<br />
<b>How have I been feeling? </b>Eh..some days are better than others. The exhaustion from the first trimester is back and most days, I have to take a nap while Sophia naps. I get pretty worn out by the end of the day and it's definitely getting harder to carry Sophia or the laundry baskets up and down the stairs. Matt has been awesome with picking up my slack lately. :) Sophia has been so helpful, too. She loves throwing things away in the trash can, picking stuff up off the floor for me and putting things away when I ask her. She just recently started calling Stella by name and it might just be the cutest thing ever. <br />
<br />
<b>Movement: </b> Still crazy and all other the place. Her movements are getting sharper as she keeps getting bigger. She loves to stick her butt out to the left of my belly button and poke her feet out on my right side, just like Sophia did. About a week ago, she flipped a little into more of a transverse position. It freaked me out for a couple of days because she had been head down this whole time. Thankfully, she moved back down and I'm pretty sure she's back to head down. I have an appointment tomorrow, so I will have the dr confirm it.<br />
<br />
<b>Food cravings: </b> Back to loving the Zaxby's ice. I got a cup of it yesterday and it hit the spot!<br />
<br />
<b>Food aversions:</b> None anymore, thankfully!<br />
<br />
<b>Rings on or off?</b> Still on and loose most of the time.<br />
<br />
<b>Happy or Moody most of the time: </b>Can tired be an option?<br />
<br />
<b>Baby "To Do" List:</b> Oh Lord, I don't even know where to begin with this. We have everything for the nursery ready to be rearranged and fixed all pretty. I need to start going through the baby stuff in the basement and figure out what I need to pull back. I also need to start getting things together for our PCS in July. 2 of the 5 places we could get sent to are overseas, so we need to apply/update passports just in case. We also need to start taking pictures of all of our stuff in preparation for the movers. I need to look into how to get organized for a PCS and tips on making it a smooth transition because it's gonna be a little crazy! I'm praying that wherever we get sent we will all be able to go together instead of Matt having to go first and set stuff up because the thought of a long flight by myself with a toddler and a newborn makes me want to break out in hives! We wanted an adventure when we joined the Army, and I think we're about to get it! ;)<br />

<br />
<b>Baby's Development: </b><span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Sophia
is about 17 inches long and almost 3 lbs…the size of a butternut
squash! No wonder I am feeling such strong movement! Fat is depositing
under the skin and her skin is becoming less wrinkled. Although the buds
for her baby teeth formed earlier in the pregnancy, now permanent teeth
buds are forming. Her bones are starting to harden and store iron,
phosphorus and calcium, but they will still remain soft enough to
accommodate birth. Ovaries are also well-developed at this stage…they
are producing hormones and already contain millions of eggs.</span><br />

<br />
<b>Maternity clothes? </b>Yes and I am SO excited it's getting warmer! I recently discovered the regular foldover yoga leggings from Target and they are SO comfortable. It's getting harder to find shirts that are long enough, too. Getting to that point, folks!<br />
<br />
<b>Weight Gain? </b>4 lbs over pre-pregnancy weight<br />
<br />
<b>Am I Showing?</b> Yep!<br />
<br />
<b>Sleep? </b>In our bed, sleep i<b>s</b> pretty amazing. It's cushy enough that it supports my belly. I am still waking up 1-2x a night to use the restroom, but I am able to get back to sleep pretty easy. About once a week, I wake up around 4am and can't fall back asleep, though.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Exciting Moment? </b>Matt graduated AIT! Hooray! He got selected for some specialized training for his MOS, so he will continue that for a few more months and around May (busy month for us!) we will find out where we will moving to once he graduates! <br />
<br />
<b>Gender</b>:
Girl! <br />
<br />
<b>Stretch marks?</b> None yet<br />
<br />
<b>What do I miss? </b>Not feeling super, uncomfortably full after a few bites and...I'll just put this out there..pooping on the regular. Yep, I said it..the glamorous side of pregnancy. ;)<br />
<br />
<b>How have I been feeling? </b>I'm getting to the point where I'm starting to get uncomfortable. It's hard to breathe, I look like a beached whale trying to get out of bed, I have to literally rolllll off the couch. I keep telling myself to suck it up, though because HELLO! I still have 11 weeks left! <br />
<br />
<b>Movement: </b>All.day.long! I had my glucose test about two weeks ago (I passed this time around!) and I swear, little bit did not stop moving from 10 am until about 7 at night. It was crazy. She is so much more active than Sophia was. She is also getting hiccups about once a day and I can tell she's head down, because I always feel them lower. <br />
<br />
<b>Food cravings: </b>None really, but I do love sweets!<br />
<br />
<b>Food aversions:</b> None anymore, thankfully!<br />
<br />
<b>Rings on or off?</b> Still on<br />
<br />
<b>Happy or Moody most of the time: </b>I think pretty happy!<br />
<br />
<b>Baby "To Do" List: </b>We have most of the big things for the nursery now hooray! We just need to work on refinishing the rocking chair and finish assembling the dresser before we can start arranging the room. We thought we would be in Augusta for a while, but it looks like we will be making a big move in July! I'm really nervous about how it's going to go with a newborn and a toddler, but we'll get through it. It kinda puts the brakes on going full-out decorator mode, knowing that everything will be packed up about a month after she comes. <br />

<br />
<b>Baby's Development: </b><span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">My uterus
is about the size of a soccer ball right now and baby is 9 inches and
more than a pound and a half….about the size of a rutabaga…whatever that
is! Her skin is starting to turn pinker because capillaries are
starting to form under the skin and fill with blood. Blood vessels are
also developing in the baby’s lungs. Nostril are also starting to open
up this week and allows little one to practice taking breaths.</span><br />

<br />
<b>Maternity clothes? </b>Leggings for life! Seriously...isn't it time for spring yet? <br />
<br />
<b>Weight Gain? </b>I've made it up to pre-pregnancy weight! woohoo!<br />
<br />
<b>Am I Showing?</b> Yep!<br />
<br />
<b>Sleep? </b>I'm waking up about 2-3 times a night to use the restroom, but luckily I am able to get back to sleep fairly easily. About once a week, I wake up at 3:00ish am and can't get back to sleep for a few hours. The cold is also making me super congested so it's hard to breathe sometimes. It could be (and will probably get) much worse, so I'll take it.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Exciting Moment?</b> The other night, Matt had his hand on my belly because Stella was having a dance party, and Sophia came over and put her hand on my tummy too and said "sissy." It was super sweet and luckily Matt got a picture of it.<br />

<br />
<br />
<b>Gender</b>:
Girl! <br />
<br />
<b>Stretch marks?</b> Still good
here...applying my bio oil every morning! <br />
<br />
<b>What do I miss? </b>Not feeling super duper full after two bites of dinner. Everyone jokes about how much pregnant women eat. You know who eats more? Nursing women! You're hungry literally every minute of the day, but the nice thing is your organs aren't being squished, so you have room for everything! Plus, you have to eat extra calories...it's pretty glorious!<br />
<br />
<b>How have I been feeling? </b> Pretty good still, thank God! I am noticing that it's getting more uncomfortable to carry Sophia around for long periods of time. :( Imagine wearing a hoodie and having a bowling ball (that wiggles) in your hoodie pocket PLUS carrying a 27lb toddler. I'm sure Stella isn't as heavy as a bowling ball yet, but you get the idea. I get pretty tired by the end of the day, too. <br />
<br />
<b>Movement:</b> ALLLL the time still! I love it. Sometimes when I wake up in the middle of the night and lay back down to sleep, I can feel her wiggling around in there and it keeps me up because it's so fun to feel! The movements are definitely moving away from cute little pops to more forceful rolls as she gets bigger. <br />
<br />
<b>Food cravings: </b>I've rediscovered my sweet tooth... <br />
<br />
<b>Food aversions:</b> None anymore, thankfully!<br />
<br />
<b>Rings on or off?</b> Still on<br />
<br />
<b>Happy or Moody most of the time: </b>Feeling great! <br />
<br />
<b>Baby "To Do" List: </b>We ordered our double stroller and got it in yesterday! I am sooo excited about it. We went with the City Select double stroller because I found an AMAZING deal on one during President's day!<br />
<br />

<br />
I love that I can use it now with Sophia and add the second seat to use it with Stella too. I told Matt it's like the Cadillac of strollers. I know we will get tons of use out of it. Thankfully, Sophia is pretty good about riding in the stroller, so it's definitely going to come in handy. Next on our list is the dresser and glider/rocking chair and then we will be all set to start putting it allll together (Matt is really excited about this, let me tell you. :/)<br />

<br />
<b>Baby's Development: </b><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Baby
Stella is a little over a pound, the size of a mango and growing right
along! In the next 4 weeks, her weight (and mine) will double! You can
now hear baby's heartbeat through a stethoscope and her skin is reddish
in color due to the developing blood vessels. </span></span><br />

<br />
<br />
<b>Maternity clothes?</b> I found my favorite pair of jeans from last time (they were in my closet the whole time..oops!) so when I want to "dress up" I can wear those! Most days it's leggins, tank top, and a sweater. I am in a clothing rut because I am SO.OVER. the cold weather. I just want to wear dresses and tan tops, and capris and feel the sun on my skin. <br />
<br />
<b>Weight Gain? </b>Still about 2 lbs below pre-preg weight. At this point with Sophia, I had begun to gain some, so I asked my OB if it was something I should be concerned about. She said I'm measuring on track and baby is growing just fine, so she's not even worried about it. <br />
<br />
<b>Am I Showing?</b> Yep!<br />
<br />
<b>Sleep? </b>Pretty good for the most part! There are times when I wake up and my hips hurt, so I have been putting a pillow in between my knees, which has helped!<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Exciting Moment?</b> We had another Drs appointment yesterday. Everything looked great and her HR was measuring in the 130's. It's always been in the 150's, but my OB said that it's totally normal for their HR to get lower the bigger they get.<br />
<br />
<b>Gender</b>: Girl! Stella Cate...I love having a name picked out and being able to refer to her by her name. I have been trying to get Sophia to say Stella, but every time she says "bebe" or "sissy" instead...which is equally as cute!<br />
<br />
<b>Stretch marks?</b> Still good here. My stomach doesn't feel as stretched out as last time (yet) so hopefully I will escape them again! Wishful thinking? Maybe...<br />
<br />
<b>What do I miss? </b>Not much right now. I would love a glass of wine, which is funny because I'm not a big drinker not pregnant. I guess now since I can't have it I want it? <br />
<br />
<b>How have I been feeling? </b>I'm finally feeling great again! For the most part, I am sleeping pretty well and my energy levels are a lot better. I still have to sit and rest sometimes if I overdo it, but I am feeling a lot better overall. I do get out of breath pretty easily, but I can handle that!<br />
<br />
<b>Movement:</b>She is all.over.the.place. Seriously. I am kinda worried about when she actually gets here because I feel like she is NONSTOP. If I wake up in the middle of the night to use the restroom, she is moving. All day long she is moving. I had my phone laying on my belly and she kicked it off! I tried to video the kicks, because you can definitely see them from the outside now, but of course as soon as I hit record she stopped...little stinker.<br />
<br />
<b>Food cravings:</b> My morning coffee, chocolate milk, sweet tea, and PBJ sandwiches with potato chips. Pretty sure I would eat those normally, so I'm not sure if I would consider that a "pregnancy" craving. <br />
<br />
<b>Food aversions:</b> None anymore, thankfully!<br />
<br />
<b>Rings on or off?</b> Still on<br />
<br />
<b>Happy or Moody most of the time: </b>Feeling great! <br />
<br />
<b>Looking forward to: </b>Matt's parents are coming to visit on Thursday and their bringing Stella's crib with them! Woohoo! I can't wait to get it put together. Still on our list is a matress, a dresser, a glider, and a double stroller. In the next few months, we'll need to get the swing put together, too. I went through Sophia's old clothes and washed/hung them in Stella's closet. It's crazy to me how small they are! <br />

<br />
<b>Maternity clothes? </b>Yep...leggings all day every day. <br />
<br />
<b>Weight Gain? </b>Just like last time, I've been slow to gain weight. I got weighed at Urgent Care this past Saturday for some sinus gunk and I am still 2 lbs below pregnancy weight. I know that it'll all catch up with me in the end, so I'm not too worried about it.<br />
<br />
<b>Am I Showing?</b> I would think so!<br />
<br />
<b>Sleep? </b>It's been pretty good the past few weeks, but the past couple of days it's sucked big time. Stuffy head/cough/sore throat does not make sleeping easy. Unfortunately the dr said antibiotics won't help so I get to wait it out. yay.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Exciting Moment?</b> We found out and announced that Whitman #2 is a GIRL!<br />
<br />
<b>Gender</b>: Girl! Stella Cate.<br />
<br />
<b>Stretch marks?</b> Nope..I thought I saw a few but it was just from my clothes. However, it did prompt me to start with the stretch mark cream. I use Mustela stretch mark cream.<br />
<br />
<b>What do I miss? </b>Right now, I miss not feeling like a walking snot bucket. <br />
<br />
<b>How have I been feeling? </b>Start to get some energy back and my nausea is beginning to go away. I still take Diceglis as needed, but ever since about 18-19 weeks I havent needed to take it as much. It makes me sleepy when I do take it, so I still take a nap while Sophia sleeps during the day. This pregnancy has been almost identical to Sophia's. My nails and hair look amazing, my face is breaking out like a 12 year old, my leg hair has been slower to grow (SCORE!), and I've had mostly the same food aversions.<br />
<br />
<b>Movement:</b> Oh yes! This is one active little girl and I love it. She rolls around and kicks and fist pumps all day long. On Jan 4th, the day I turned 19 weeks, Matt was able to feel some kicks for the first time. It happened at 19 weeks with Sophia, too!<br />
<br />
<b>Food cravings:</b> I think by this point with Sophia, I was having some cravings. This time around...nothing. Like seriously nothing sounds good. Food is more of a necessity at this point.<br />
<br />
<b>Food aversions:</b>No real aversions..just don't want any of it! <br />
<br />
<b>Rings on or off?</b> Still on<br />
<br />
<b>Happy or Moody most of the time: </b> I’m going to go with “fiesty"....and "needy" according to my husband! ;)<br />
<br />
<b>Looking forward to:</b> Getting some things for this little girl. I feel kinda guilty because at this point in my pregnancy with Sophia, I'm pretty sure we had her nursery painted and all the furniture all set up. This time? Nothing. We have a few random things that I've picked up here and there, but nothing big. We need her crib, dresser and glider for the nursery. We also need our double stroller. I guess that's not too much when I write it all down. Luckily, we have a lot of stuff from Sophia we can still use. Second kid problems, I guess! I need to start scouring Craigslist for some nursery furniture soon!<br />

The only problem was that our anatomy scan wasn't scheduled until after Christmas. When I went in for my 12 week appointment, my OB told me they also offer gender scans starting at 15 weeks. I was tempted but also nervous since we found out early with Sophia, and we all know how that all turned out! We decided to go for it and felt a little better since it was my actual OBGYN's office and not a boutique ultrasound place.<br />
<br />
We had our appointment the morning of December 12 and I was 15 weeks 5 days. We didn't tell anyone that we were finding out early because we wanted it to REALLY be a surprise on Christmas! I was honestly convinced it was a girl very early on. This pregnancy is practically identical to Sophia's, other than my morning sickness being a lot worse. I had a dream that Sophia was a girl the day before our first ultrasound and this time around, I had a girl dream pretty early on which solidified it for me. I have been trying to prepare Matt for two girls every since. ;) His tradeoff is that he gets to buy a gun for every girl we end up having.<br />
<br />
The baby was pretty active the entire time, and although it took about 15-20 mins, the tech was able to tell pretty positively that it was a GIRL! Sophia kept looking at the screen and saying "bebe" over and over again. We decided on the name Stella Cate! I am SO excited for Sophia to have a sister and I love the thought of them sharing a monogram. Plus, we get to use all of Sophia's monogrammed clothes again. ;)<br />
<br />
On Christmas day, we waited until all the gifts were passed out and then had all the grandparents sit on the couch together. We gave each one a gift to open. The grandmas opened theirs first. I made two ornaments with pink glitter and Stella's monogram on the front and a "It's a girl" ribbon at the top. Everyone was so surprised!<br />

Next, we had the Grandpas open up their gifts to announce the name. Because we're classy people, we decided to use bottles of Stella Artois beer. ;) I used some pink Washi tape to cover up the Artois and wrote her middle name, Cate instead. They loved it!<br />

<br />
Well I guess this is as good of a time as any to start these. I started a
lot earlier with Sophia, but I have been a lot sicker this time around. I am
finally starting to feel human (I’m even caught up on laundry for the first time
since…September?) so I wanted to get the ball rolling before I got too far
behind. <br />
<br />
I have loved being able to look back at my blog posts from 2 years ago at the
similarities and differences and I know that I will want a reminder of this
pregnancy as well! I initially stopped blogging because I accidentally erased
Sophia’s 6 month update and got so pissed at myself that every time I went to redo it, I would get angry. haha I still have unpublished posts from some
of her later months that I will eventually go back and add pictures to, but that
6 month one was so long and in depth it still makes me angry that it’s gone. <br />
<br />
So, without further ado…here is my first bumpdate for Whitman baby #2!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">I DO plan on doing the chalkboards again, but it's not happening this week...</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<b>How far along?</b> 16 weeks 3 days…I am pregnant at almost the same time
of year as I was with Sophia, except I am about 4 weeks behind this time around.<br />
<br />
<b>Baby's Development:</b> Baby W #2 is about 5 in. long and weighs about
3-5 oz…about the size of an avocado! In the next few weeks, baby will DOUBLE its
weight…GROWTH SPURT! The tiny bones in baby’s ears are in place making it likely
that baby can hear my voice. Some studies have found that babies that are sung
to while they are in the womb will recognize the same tune after they’re born.
He or she has been getting many rounds of Christmas songs when I sing to Sophia
before her nap and bedtime. Baby now has both eyebrows and eyelashes, too!<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Maternity clothes?</b> Since I stay at home with Sophia now, my clothes
consist of leggings and tunics and it is GLORIOUS!<br />
<br />
<strong>Weight Gain? </strong>Not sure…the scale needs batteries and I keep
forgetting to buy them.<br />
<br />
<b>Am I Showing?</b> I think I’ve got a little bump going on!<br />
<br />
<b>Sleep?</b> Pretty good except that I am getting kinks in my right shoulder
when I sleep that are causing me to wake up with headaches in the mornings.<br />
<br />
<b>Exciting Moment?</b> I’m pretty pumped about Christmas coming and Matt’s
holiday block leave starting next week!<br />
<br />
<b>Gender</b>: Our anatomy scan is scheduled for Jan 2nd!<br />
<br />
<b>Stretch marks?</b> None yet...I escaped without any my first time around.
I am crossing my fingers that it will be the same this time too!<br />
<br />
<strong>What do I miss? </strong>Having energy!<br />
<br />
<strong>How have I been feeling? </strong>Tired! I nap when Sophia does most
days but I’m still pretty exhausted. I’m not as nauseous anymore, but I am
still taking Diceglis for nausea at night and most mornings. I think that also
contributes to being as tired as I am (and probably why I’ve been sleeping good
at night!). I’m hoping to not need it anymore in the next few weeks, though.<br />
<br />
<b>Movement:</b> I have been feeling little pops for about 1.5 weeks now and
I love it! It’s still sometimes in the “baby or gas” stage but sometimes I can
definitely tell it’s the baby!<br />
<br />
<b>Food cravings:</b> Nothing really except coffee in the morning. I’m not
normally a coffee drinker, but it just tastes so darn good.<br />
<br />
<b>Food aversions:</b> Pasta sauce, chicken, strong smelling foods.<br />
<br />
<b>Rings on or off?</b> Still on<br />
<br />
<b>Happy or Moody most of the time: </b> I’m going to go with “fiesty”<br />
<br />
<b>Looking forward to:</b> Christmas!<br />

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Sophia’s 5th month was from September 1st to September 30th and she turned 5 months old on October 1st. Being born on the
first of the month sure makes keeping track of these months a little easier!</div>

<b> Weight</b>: We technically were at the dr in September for her 4 month shots and she was 15.7 lbs. She doesn't go back to the Dr until November for her next set of shots, so we will see where she is then!<br />

<b>Health: </b>We have still been relatively healthy this month, thankfully. We had some issues with her left eye for a while. We went to the Dr. twice..the first time they said it was a big bite, and the second time they said it was a clogged tear duct and gave us some ointment. Can I tell you how difficult it is to put ointment on a 5 month old? Much less in her eye? Yea..very! It ended up just kinda going away on it's own, so I'm not really sure what it was! <b><br /></b><br />

<b>Development/Social: </b>Sophia started rolling over this month! I read that most kids roll over from belly to back first, but she did the opposite and did back to belly first. I took this as a sign that it was time to drop the swaddle because I was nervous she would roll over onto her belly and get stuck. It was great while it lasted!<br />

<b>Sleep: </b>Although I was dreading dropping her swaddle, it wasn't as bad. On September 11, we initially started by just dropping it during her last nap and still swaddling her in the morning and afternoon, but we didn't have much success with it. I figured if she didn't get good sleep because she wasn't used to not being swaddled, only her last nap would be messed up.<br />

I think she got confused in the evening, so I gradually weaned her by doing one arm for a couple of days for ALL naps. On September 14, we did 2 arms out for a couple of days for ALL naps. <br />

starting at night, since nighttime sleep is her deepest sleep.</div>

She loved being swaddled, but she definitely loves not being swaddled, too because she can get to her fingers easier. She definitely started sucking her first two fingers this month to self-soothe.<br />

The paci she doesn't care much about and will take it or leave it. We also noticed she is a WILD sleeper! I would find her turned sideways and upside down when I woke her up in the mornings! Not only that, but she has also turned into a tummy sleeper. As soon as her back hits the mattress, she rolls over to her tummy or sometimes her side. Sometimes she is almost face down! It freaked me out at first, but I read not to roll them over because once they roll themselves over, it's ok.<br />

She still sleeps great from about 7:30 at night to about 7:45 in the morning with no wake-ups.<br />
<br />
Since we moved to the 4 hour schedule last month, she gets three naps a day. The first two are right at 2 hours long and the last one is about 45 mins. or so. Sometimes she won't take the third nap if we are out at dinner or whatever, but it doesn't happen often because she gets cranky if she misses it, so I know she still needs it.<br />
<br />
<b>Diet: </b>Still 100% breastmilk. She gets 4 bottles a week...two on Tuesday and two on Wednesday when she stays home with Matt and drinks about 6 oz. each time. <br />

<b>Post Partum: </b>Things are going great on my side. I am always conscious of my water intake during the day since I am nursing. If I don't get enough water, I get dehydrated and get a headache. I can also tell a difference in my production that day<b>, </b>so I make sure to always carry a full bottle of water with me wherever I go! I'm also not loosing as much hair anymore, but now I am in the lovely "baby bangs" stage where it's starting to grow back in some so I have little wispies everywhere! Lovely!<br />

Mommy and Daddy also both got new cars this month! When we were car shopping last year, I ended up getting a Jeep Grand Cherokee, but I really had my heart set on a 4-door Jeep Wrangler. We couldn't find any good deals so we went with the Grand Cherokee. We found a great deal on a Wrangler that everything I was looking for, so we traded in Matt's truck and got a lower monthly payment! Score! We still had my Grand Cherokee and Matt wanted to have a truck for his painting side business, so he then took my Grand Cherokee and traded it in for a Toyota Tundra...also got a lower monthly payment! Sounds like a lot of back and forth, but we ended up saving money in the long run, so it was definitely worth it!<br />

It gets to be so hectic and we knew with a baby it would be easier for us to host Thanksgiving and Christmas at our house. We love entertaining at our house so much and it was great to have everyone over! Everyone got to love on Sophia and she ate all the attention up! She is definitely a people person and I think will take after Matt with her personality. It kind of turned into a giant game of pass the baby, but she loved every minute of it!</p> <p align="center"> <a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-qxk_n8TtqgQ/UsYcbJyyoHI/AAAAAAAABaM/tQkL0S5ypfY/s1600-h/DSC_0718%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px;

I know she won't remember anything from this year, so it's more for Matt and I, but we have been so excited to take her to her first pumpkin patch, get her pumpkin carved, and celebrate her first Halloween costume! I love celebrating all of these "firsts" with her and I know we have a ton more to experience with her!<br />
<br />
One afternoon, we went to a nearby pumpkin patch to take some pictures and pick out some pumpkins to carve at home. Since she's still so little, we didn't need to go somewhere that had a lot of extras, but I am sure as she grows up she will enjoy the pumpkin patches with petting zoos, hay rides, corn mazes, etc.<br />
<br />
I was super excited because I remembered to bring my camera to the pumpkin patch! In true Larissa fashion, I totally forgot the memory card! Oopsies! Luckily, Matt's 5S took some great pictures for us! <br />

Her head is in about the 59th percentile. Growing like a weed! <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-Ve0c2KGkihw/Um_xxp9ls4I/AAAAAAAABJM/YXzJGl3is-A/s1600-h/IMG_61302.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="IMG_6130" border="0" alt="IMG_6130" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-fZ1v98ciSOU/Um_xx_2iV-I/AAAAAAAABJU/QQ0exkjWExc/IMG_6130_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="164" height="244"></a> <p><strong>Health: </strong>Still doing great with Health..thank you Lord! She had a rough day the day after her 4 month check up due to the shots. She slept fine that night but the next day, I could tell she didn’t feel well, so I stayed home from work. We gave her some Tylenol because she had a fever and she was extra snuggly. </p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-igd4kKrbY_o/Um_xySHHirI/AAAAAAAABJc/bv_5uABS-4w/s1600-h/IMG_15782.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="IMG_1578" border="0" alt="IMG_1578" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-msIq-EWr58g/Um_xygmyXeI/AAAAAAAABJk/1ZQdoN2AUx8/IMG_1578_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="184" height="244"></a> <br><strong>Sleep:</strong> Sleep is still great at night. She woke up once this month around 5:30 and I went ahead and fed her and woke her up like normal at 7:30. I had a feeling she might wake up that night because she was beginning a Wonder Week and hadn’t been eating well that day. BabyWise suggests that around 4 months babies are able to move to the 4 hour schedule, so we did that around August 20th. It took her about a week to adjust, but once we adjusted she has been doing great! She now eats four times a day at 7:30, 11:00, 3:00 and 7:00 at night. She sleeps from about 7:30 pm to 7:30 am, which Mommy and Daddy LOVE!</p> <p><b><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-K4Q85omMlrI/Um_xzM4LjHI/AAAAAAAABJw/mY2myF_nTW4/s1600-h/IMG_1722%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="IMG_1722" border="0" alt="IMG_1722" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-TQsCjmjgBZo/Um_xznDgo0I/AAAAAAAABJ0/NztxnBUBVS8/IMG_1722_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="126" height="167"></a><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-6LYJYc7abdo/Um_xz75So0I/AAAAAAAABKA/8xVXXyrIRbA/s1600-h/IMG_1703%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="IMG_1703" border="0" alt="IMG_1703" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-7naCHPsUdec/Um_x0Z4JP7I/AAAAAAAABKE/xOyA2g00s_k/IMG_1703_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="126" height="167"></a><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-PCFhs5I9Kjk/Um_x0rW7kvI/AAAAAAAABKQ/QOYkBT-TA0g/s1600-h/IMG_1721%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="IMG_1721" border="0" alt="IMG_1721" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-MY9b-P1MBOY/Um_x1R7HI9I/AAAAAAAABKY/asi-g-RumTg/IMG_1721_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="126" height="167"></a> </b></p> <p><b>Development/Social: </b><b></b>Sophia met Baby Millie this month!

I am able to set up a travel pack and play and she takes her naps in there. She goes down as soon as we get there in the morning at 9. In between naps, she plays on the activity mat or in her little seat. She loves getting to see everyone that comes in! We leave at 5 and she goes down as soon as we get home. It’s working out pretty well for us!</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-wfDS_AJxRJo/Um_x4dc6fFI/AAAAAAAABLQ/P-F5qjMTL9o/s1600-h/IMG_12782.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="IMG_1278" border="0" alt="IMG_1278" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-tNrPQFQuBB8/Um_x6L4uitI/AAAAAAAABLU/MS8UHSKEuJc/IMG_1278_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" height="244"></a> <a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-CR9HhFiN3Xs/Um_x6hjuJXI/AAAAAAAABLg/KuQGuEg1n2U/s1600-h/IMG_1306%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="IMG_1306" border="0" alt="IMG_1306" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-y0DyG0mQymI/Um_x7AH88FI/AAAAAAAABLk/VBSbj6Yoiwg/IMG_1306_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" height="244"></a> </p> <p>First day at work with Mommy!

I spent about 2 hours deep cleaning it. I SUCK at deep cleaning things, to that’s probably why it took me so long. I did it during one of Sophia’s naps..I even brought out the Q-tips! But it was worth it because she LOVES it! We put a blanket behind her because she is still a little bit wobbly, but I am sure she will be a little steadier soon!</p> <p> <a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-iXy_awNmmZ8/Um_yJOzlm0I/AAAAAAAABQA/TDaWkKwnI4I/s1600-h/IMG_17862.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="IMG_1786" border="0" alt="IMG_1786" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-g7FHjvMgmR0/Um_yJpU9eaI/AAAAAAAABQE/1ItUXUEvjgo/IMG_1786_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="184" height="244"></a></p> <p><strong>Likes:</strong> Her exersaucer, Sophie the giraffe, her activity mat.</p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-UBM0BnpxBzY/Um_yKPYCQUI/AAAAAAAABQQ/zW4b6T8OfDc/s1600-h/IMG_61882.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="IMG_6188" border="0" alt="IMG_6188" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-t3KK4DSEWPE/Um_yKrlASEI/AAAAAAAABQY/wk_LNSGjW6Y/IMG_6188_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" height="164"></a></p> <p> <a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-EPjiLQs9SAU/Um_yKzeIcHI/AAAAAAAABQg/EnA5pWMfb4s/s1600-h/IMG_14412.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="IMG_1441" border="0" alt="IMG_1441" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-uPuit1ESK9g/Um_yLyAfg9I/AAAAAAAABQk/bj-NVoCOIJs/IMG_1441_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="184" height="244"></a></p> <p>Getting better at sitting up!</p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-1Lz0sz-_NoU/Um_yMcaxEYI/AAAAAAAABQs/qi0yfXwf-5E/s1600-h/IMG_14863.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="IMG_1486" border="0" alt="IMG_1486" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-A_ZF5TeTJTc/Um_yMlk0CAI/AAAAAAAABQ0/CvBxrOwTAX0/IMG_1486_thumb4.jpg?imgmax=800" width="214" height="244"></a> <a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-LFpp5FgZeF8/Um_yNDh5eYI/AAAAAAAABQ8/ZEnIr84k3vM/s1600-h/IMG_6174%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="IMG_6174" border="0" alt="IMG_6174" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-2bS5TYEninQ/Um_yNU5UdBI/AAAAAAAABRE/DRrE-2RkiuY/IMG_6174_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" height="164"></a> </p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-4skeR7aeTQw/Um_yN75epRI/AAAAAAAABRM/okmx-G1n1Q0/s1600-h/IMG_15292.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="IMG_1529" border="0" alt="IMG_1529" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-RFnCEOK-Ugg/Um_yOJ6D11I/AAAAAAAABRU/cI65KmHuT4o/IMG_1529_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="184" height="244"></a> </p> <p><strong>Post Partum:</strong> I’m still feeling pretty great.

My last day of maternity leave was July 31st and I started my new job
on Thursday, August 1st. That Thursday and Friday, Matt watched Sophia
while I was at work. I'm SO glad that I started back on a Thursday as I
think it made the transition so much easier for me. I knew that it was
just two days and then I'd have the weekend.</div>
<br />
On my
last day, I really wanted to soak up the time I had with Sophia. We
read, played, and of course took lots of pictures! Here are some of my
favorites!<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 28px;"><b>Health: </b>This week, I noticed Sophia had a little blister on the inside of her bottom lip. Of course I noticed it during bath time the night before I was supposed to go back to work. I googled around and think it was probably a nursing blister. It didn't seem to bother her any and it's since almost gone away.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 28px;"><b>Sleep: </b>We started doing cry it out (CIO) this week. I didn't really feel comfortable doing it before now and I wanted to wait until she was at least 12 weeks old to start. We did it on Wednesday a little bit and then Matt did it on Thursday. We talked about it and since I will be taking Sophia to work with me on Mondays and Tuesdays we abandoned CIO. It's not really feasible for me to do it with her when I have her at work, so we decided to keep on what we have been doing and give her about 15-20 mins if she wakes up in the middle of a nap to see if she will soothe herself back to sleep. Most of the time she will make noises halfway through her naps, but she is able to fall back asleep. If she isn't able to fall back asleep, then we go in there and give her the paci. This has worked pretty well for us and she is starting to get a lot better at self-soothing! In fact, this past weekend, we had two days of perfect naps where we didn't even have to go in to her room at all!</span><br />

She was very excited, as you can see in the video below. We met up with Danielle and Melissa and their babies Jase and Hollis. Jase was born exactly a week after Sophia and Hollis was born about 3 weeks after. It was so fun to see these three together. Although we weren't able to get all three together for a picture, I know that there will be many play dates in our future! It will be so much fun when they get a little older and are able to interact more. It will be so fun to watch these three running around after each other. :)</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 28px;"><b>Diet: </b>Still doing great with nursing. I just love that time with her so much. They are such sweet moments that I will cherish and remember forever. At our play date, Danielle and Melissa were telling me that they used a Boppy while they were nursing. The few times I had used it, I was still putting her in a cradle hold and then using the Boppy. They suggested that I lay her straight down on the Boppy instead and doing that a couple of times has increased her nursing time. Plus it frees up both hands!</span><br />

Between my work schedule and Matt's off days, we have been able to avoid daycare or having to have anyone other than Matt and me watching her during the work week, which makes me a happy Momma!!</span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 28px;"><b>Diet: </b>We drastically dropped our nursing times this week. She went from nursing for about 18-20 on one side to about 7-10! I was worried that she wasn't getting enough during the day and would start waking up at night again hungry, but she didnt! She is also super distracted while nursing. She will eat non stop for about 6 minutes and then will start looking around her room at the different things on the wall. She loves to push down on my lap with her feet when I'm burping her, too.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 28px;"><b>Health: </b>We tried a new diaper brand this week (Up and Up from Target) which started to give her diaper rash, so we went back to Pampers swaddlers. I think since the Pampers pulls the wetness away from the skin, it doesn't give her diaper rash like the other brands we have tried.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 28px;"><b>Sleep:</b> She is still doing great on the 3.5 hour schedule. She typically has one or two naps a day that she wakes up halfway through, but the others are pretty good. I watch her and as soon as I see those first couple of yawns, I start to put her down. I swaddle her while saying "shhhhhh" and turn on her Sleep Sheep while I am swaddling her. I tell her night night and then leave the room. She is still awake and falls asleep within a couple of minutes. I am always so amazed that she is asleep so quickly. The only time Sophia goes down crying is if I miss her sleepy window and put her down when she is too tired. She pretty much always has a great morning nap and a great late evening nap. She is also still doing great sleeping through the night! </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 28px;"><b>Diet: </b>She is starting to get very active when she nurses. Her little arms flails all around and she kicks and kicks her legs. It's getting more difficult to nurse her in the glider that's in the nursery because she pushes her feet on the arm rest and it hurts! I started giving her a bottle once every two or so days so she is still used to it. Matt and I are going to a concert on Aug. 3rd and his parents will be watching her, so I want to make sure she is used to them still. We were using Dr. Brown's bottles, but for some reason when we tried giving them to her again, she kept gagging on the nipple, so I switched to MAM bottles, since that's the paci she takes. She seems to like those much better and will take about 4.5-5 ozs.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 28px;"><b>Sleep:</b> Our schedule is still the same as last week and Sophia is still sleeping great at night! She averages about 10 hours. She goes down around 9:30 for the night and wakes up between 7:00-7:30. About half of the time, she is still asleep when I go in there, but sometimes she is already awake and just chillin'. She is a very happy baby when she wakes up. Her naps are definitely getting better and we even had one day where we have perfect naps...she slept through each one and I never once had to go into her room to soothe her back to sleep. We are starting to have more and more naps that she sleeps all the way through for which is so great!</span><br />

I made Matt stay with her while she got them and I waited outside in the waiting room because I am a big sissy. She was so pitiful all day afterwards. At one point, I was nursing her and she would randomly cry out...it was awful! We did end up giving her two half doses of Tylenol which seemed to help. Thank God it only lasted one day.</span><br />

She went back to waking up for her 4:00am feeding the next couple of days and then on June 27th, she did it again and we have been sleeping through the night since! I can't even begin to explain how excited I am...it's amazing to get a full night's sleep again! I am well rested and I know that Sophia is too! </span></div>

We had a few days in the beginning where she was upset and inconsolable and I cannot imagine it being like that all of the time. My heart goes out to moms that have colicky babies. I really do think that such a huge part is due to BabyWise. A friend sent it to me when I was pregnant and I didn't pick it up until after Sophia was born. I needed some sort of set schedule and I won't lie..the high percentage of BW babies that sleep through the night early was very appealing! Originally, that is what drew me to BW, but now seeing how content she always is and having others notice and comment on it too, I can see the other pluses to doing BW. I know it catches a lot of flack, but we never had any issues with the things that have caused controversy. Sophia has been in the 90-95% for height and weight and it hasn't caused any issues with my milk supply. I never in a million years would have thought that I would be a Babywise Momma, but I am and I LOVE it!</span><b style="line-height: 28px;"><br /></b></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 28px;"><b>Sleep:</b> Sleep was sooo much better this week! We were able to get back to our normal routine, which made this Momma very happy! I never thought that I would be a Mom that schedules her baby's day, but it makes such a difference for how smooth the days and nights go that now I cannot imagine NOT having a schedule. Right now our schedule looks like this:</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 28px;">7:00 AM- Up for the day, diaper change and eat and play </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 28px;">11:00 AM-1:00 PM- Nap</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 28px;">4:00 PM- Eat, diaper change and play</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 28px;">5:00 PM- 7:00 PM -Nap</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 28px;">7:00 Eat, Diaper change and play</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 28px;">8:00-9:30- Nap</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 28px;">9:30 Bath and eat after</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 28px;">10:00 down for the night</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 28px;">At night, she sleeps from 10:00 PM until about 3:00 AM or 4:00 AM. She eats and goes right back to sleep until 7:00 AM. Also, on June 19th, Sophia slept through the night for the first time! She slept from 10:00 PM until 7: 00 AM. I, of course, woke up at 1:00, 3:00 and 5:00...but I was still super excited! Sophia's first nap (8:00- 10:00 AM) is always her best. She goes down easy and for the most part, wakes up right after the two hours are over. The other naps are hit or miss. Some of them she will wake up after about an hour or so, but she has a tendency to wake herself up by breaking out of her swaddle. I ordered a Miracle Blanket yesterday, so we will see if that helps!</span></div>

I have put them on the opposite side that her flat spot is on to encourage her to lay her head on that side some.</span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 28px;"><b>Sleep: </b>What's that? Seriously...this week was rough in the sleep department. Her naps were all over the place and she kept waking up early for them. She had a really hard time falling asleep and was super duper fussy. A couple of days she woke up 3 different times at night to eat..very exhausting! </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 28px;"><b>Social: </b>This was the week that Sophia really started smiling and responding to us talking to her. She started smiling when we went to go wake her up and it's the sweetest thing ever! I love sitting her in her bouncy chair and just chatting with her..she'll kick her little legs and make the sweetest cooing sounds. It definitely makes an exhausting week worth it!</span><br />
