Randoms & Pictures

This is just going to be a random post.

Oatmeal is disgusting. I'm trying to increase my milk supply and last night I made some awful avocado concoction and this morning I had oatmeal. No bueno. I'm going to order Mother's Milk Tea and see how that goes. Anyone have any other suggestions?

I got my Sunbaby 4.0's in and I heart them. They're so soft and seem so much more comfy than the Thirsties Duo Snap Wrap covers and inserts. I'm upset that I only ordered 12 of them to start. I'm going to order 12 more. I'm still waiting on 7 Alvababy's to get here too. I think I'm addicted to buying cloth diapers. Honestly, I want to order 24 more Sunbaby's but I think Christopher might have something to say about that...

I need to vaccum and clean the house. I really don't want to... at all.

My feet are always cold. I'm too lazy to get up and get my fuzzy socks.

The landlord is almost done putting up the fence around the front of the house. I'm SO happy about this. It has been irritating having to take the dogs out front on a leash and having to worry about leaving the baby and not being able to hear her cry. She's been pretty good and I try to make it quick but it still makes me really uncomfortable. And, it's not really fair to the dogs.

I'm really bad with uploading pictures. Mostly because the files are so huge and it takes forever to upload and I'm lazy. How do you guys upload so many pictures? Do you just deal with the slow upload?

Bean turned 2 months on the 24th. She's been in 6 month clothes for a week. Crazy huh? She's a big girl. I don't think I ever really had a "newborn." I swear, her hands are like a toddlers.

Love, love, love, love, LOVE my two babies =)

Wordless Wednesday

7 Weeks 2 Days

She's pretty smart.

She only really smiles when she's sleeping. When she's awake she just stares at us with a very concerned look. Who could blame her???

Introducing... THE BEAN!

Isabella Rome was born on January 24, 2011 at 13:43. She weighed 9 lbs 3.8 oz and measured 21.5" long. She has a full head of black hair! We were all surprised by her weight and her full head of hair! I can't even begin to describe how much love we have for this little girl. It truly is the greatest high anyone can ever feel. The c-section was awesome, the recovery has been great, and we got to go home after 48 hours.

We've been adjusting to our new life as parents. Christopher has been a tremendous help around the house and is such an amazing dad. He changed his first ever diaper at the hospital and baby girl decided to give him something to remember. She shot out shit and peed all over the place after he took her diaper off. I caught it on tape. AMAZING! hahaha.

She started off being an amazing breastfeeder but Friday night we had issues that went on through Sunday night. I was in tears and cried pretty much all day on Sunday. She wouldn't latch on and it was really difficult to feed her. I was able to get nipple shields Sunday night and since then, it has gone back to her being an amazing feeder. I don't even want to ever give her a bottle again because of how scared I was that she wasn't latching on properly. I love to breastfeed. I honestly thought it was weird prior to having her but now, I can't imagine doing anything else. There's just an amazing feeling I get looking down and watching her breastfeed.

I was recovering extremely well from my c-section until yesterday. I thought I was about 100% recovered until yesterday. I think I had a set back but I ended up in the ER because the pain was excruciating. All that happened was a scheduled follow-up with OB/GYN tomorrow. I feel better today but that's because they're making me take two percocets every 4 hours. I hate the feeling they give me though. I don't feel clear headed and I feel woozy and a little nauseous. It's either that or the pain though. Bleh. Other than that, I'm really happy with the c-section.

And now, here are pictures of my little baby girl. I can't believe she's already a week old =(

Goofing off.
