Eden Amelia is Two Months Old!

Time is flying and Eden is already two months old!  She is growing like a weed and to be honest, not much has changed since my last post!  To that end, I'll keep this light on the narrative and heavy on the pictures. 

Two Months Old Today!

Weight:  10 lbs. 7.4 oz.

Length: 21 3/4 in. (as of 4/7/14, will measure again tomorrow)

Head Circumference: 15 1/2 in. (as of 4/7/14)

Graduated from newborn diapers to Size 1's.

Between sizes when it comes to clothes; newborn stuff is too small & 0-3 month stuff is too big! Ughh!  

Still loves to sleep, cuddle, and make funny faces.  

She is now smiling and cooing a lot of the time, as well!

Loves to make spit bubbles and be very animated.

Enjoy a bunch of pictures from the past two weeks...

Just hanging out with Uncle Buzz.

Meeting G-Pops (a.k.a. Corn Pops) for the first time!

Just being ridiculously adorable!

I am totally in love with these pants! (And her spiky hair)

Sweet sleeping angel.

Knocked out on daddy's shoulder...one of her favorite napping spots.

My adorable, silly nieces showing off their temporary tattoos (Sweet Frog).

Well hello there!

Smiley girl!

Pictures!!!

Not much has changed in the past couple weeks other than getting a little more into a routine and being able to assimilate back into some semblance of a "normal life."  My main job is to feed Eden & that remains a bit of a chore. 

Just to give you a little bit of an idea of what it's like...Eden eats about 7 times a day; an average of every 3 hours during the day and thankfully, she usually goes for a stretch of 5 hours and then 4 hours at night.  Unfortunately, this does not mean I get to sleep for that long.  First of all, the 5 hour stretch comes first meaning she goes from 10 pm to 3 am and I rarely get in bed immediately after her 10 pm feed, either because I have things I'm trying to get done or because Eden is gassy & fussy.  The second reason is because it generally takes about an hour for each feed. 

I generally nurse Eden for an average of 10-15 minutes on each side. While she is nursing, I supplement her with pumped breastmilk or formula through a syringe connected to a tube that I place in the corner of her mouth.  As she sucks, she gets milk from my breast and the milk from the tube.  I am supplementing her 1-2 ounces with each feed.  After she's done, I have to pump for 10-15 minutes.  Then, I have to wash all the stuff I used to feed & pump.  Add in a diaper change, burping, and warming the milk (not in that order), and everything takes about an hour. She would probably sleep for longer if I would let her but I worry that this would affect her weight gain & my milk supply.  So, there you go...a little glimpse into my life.  Now, for a bunch of pictures!

Sleeping on Daddy.

Making one of her many faces.  She is so animated these days!

Josie is always starved for attention & this is not an uncommon sight.

Always making dramatic hand motions.

Grabbing Daddy's finger while he acts as a pacifier.

Being a drama queen again.

Sucking her thumb.

Yay!

Yawning (I couldn't choose between these two pictures, so I just included both).
