2 months!

Hadley you are 2 months old! Time is FLYING by! Here is what you are up to at 2 months old....

-You weigh 13 pounds (75th percentile), and are 23 inches long (75th percentile)!

- You have moved to Size 1 Diaper

-You are in between sizes....your newborn clothes are too small but 3 month clothes are a bit too big....

-You are the happiest in the morning. After you wake up and I feed you, you are SO happy. You smile and coo and kick your legs. Its so cute!

- You smile all the time. Its so sweet to see you look at us and smile!

- You are such a happy, peaceful baby! We are so thankful!

- You are a wiggle worm! You are always moving your arms and legs! We have to swaddle you really tight at night so you won't flail your arms and legs and wake yourself up! I have a feeling you are going to be BUSY once you can move around!

- You love to lock your legs and "stand up". You turn your head from side to side. You are so strong!

- You are starting to like your bath! As long as you have warm water being poured over you, you are ok. After about 10 minutes though, you have had it!

- Your hair is getting redder by the day!

- We just got back from a trip to Houston to meet your great grandmothers! You did GREAT in the car! It was alot of riding in your car seat (about 20 hours in 3 days!) , you were such a trooper! I am SO glad you got to meet your great grandmothers! Such special memories!!!

- You are a good sleeper at night. You wake up once around 4AM, so not too bad! You still are not a great napper during the day. I am lucky to get one morning nap and one afternoon nap out of you (usually about an hour each).

- You recognize my voice and your daddy's voice. When you hear us, you turn your head to where we are and look at us. It makes my heart melt!

We love you so much Hadley! It has been so fun to watch your personality come out a little more this month!!! We can't wait to watch you grow up!!!

ONE Month!

Hadley you are ONE month old! Here is what you are up to at one month...

-You weigh 9 pounds (75th percentile), and are 21 3/4" (50th percentile)

-You finally fit into your newborn clothes!!!

- You are still in Newborn diapers but I have a feeling we will be moving to Size 1 really soon!

- You are starting to be much more alert

- You are officially a "cat napper". You HATE taking a nap during the day and fight it SO bad. We are working on this...

-You love your pacifier and are getting better about keeping it in your mouth for more than 2 minutes.

-Your neck muscles are getting stronger and you like to lift up your head.

- This past week when you were having tummy time, you lifted your head and turned it from one side to the other!

-You are a very content baby. When you fuss it is usually only for a minute. We are so thankful!!!

- You LOVE to be held!

- You like to be swaddled at night so you don't hit yourself in the face and wake up!

-You are getting to be a better sleeper at night. You usually go to bed around 9PM and then wake up at 1Am, 4AM, and 7AM to eat. You usually go right back to sleep, but sometimes you want to play!

-You are starting to smile more and more. It is so fun to see!



We love you SO much Hadley, and cannot wait to watch you grow up! You are so much fun and bring so much joy into our lives!!!!

My pregnancy in Pictures...

It is crazy to go back and look at earliar pregnancy pictures of myself! I can't even remember looking like that! I feel like I have had a giant watermelon under my clothes for years!!! I can't wait to be able to easily bend over, see my feet, and paint my own toenails again!!!

It is still so surreal to me that there is another human being inside of me! I can't help but wonder what she will look like, what her personality will be like, and wonder what plans God has for her. I feel so blessed to be her mommy and I can't wait to watch her life unfold!

Update

Well I had my weekly dr.'s appointment this morning, and we decided to induce next Tuesday, August 31st!!!! That means in just 6 short days Hadley Grace will be here! I. CANT. WAIT!!!!! It is so relieving to know when my last day at work will be, and know a deadline of when to have everything done! I have been super busy working on Wiggles and Giggles stuff lately, so I am looking forward to taking a little sabbatical from that, and just loving on a sweet little girl!!!
Poor Bear has been a little sad lately. I think he senses something is changing. We have brought all this new stuff into our house, and new toys he is not allowed to play with, and he has been a little down in the dumps. Poor guy. It's ok soon enough he will LOVE Hadley, especially when she starts dropping him food scraps and playing with him in the yard! :)


Hadley we can't wait to meet you!

Showered...

Hadley has been "showered" in love! I have been given a total of 5 showers! It has been such a HUGE blessing! We had two showers thrown by friends, both our workplaces threw us a shower, and Tim's mom threw a shower for family. She has gotten lots of cute things to wear, as well as LOTS of practical necessities!

Here are a few pictures of my last shower thrown by Elita, Deborah, my sis-in-law Lydia, and my sister Elissa.

Diaper cake my sister made for Hadley!

Cute (and yummy!) cake!

Everything was so cute! I loved every minute of it!

Hurry up Hadley! We are all so ready to meet you!!!!

Almost there....

We are SO ready to meet Hadley! Her crib finally came in! It was so fun to set up and put her bedding in! I LOVE how it turned out!

I have developed a horrible pregnancy related rash, called PUPPS. It is MISERABLE. Everything they have given me doesn't help, and I am scratching myself raw. It feels like I rolled in a fire ant bed. The only thing you can do to get rid of it is to deliver. I went to the dr. this week, and he said he wanted to wait another week before inducing me because there is a chance (while very small, still a chance) that her lungs might not be completely ready for life on the outside. SOOOO...while I would love to have had Hadley this week, and be done with this rash, I do not want to risk her not being quite ready, so I will wait. We will talk to the dr. again next week and go from there. So hopefully, Hadley will be here next week!!!!

I. CANT. WAIT!
