I had my 6 week post-partum check up today, which means that my baby girl is 6 weeks old! We weighed her at the grocery store the other day (yes, you read that right), and she is up to 13 1/2 pounds. They really do grow fast! Her 6 week appointment is next week on Wednesday, so I'll let you know what the official weight and height is at that time. I am not allowed to tell you my official weight from my doctor visit today, because you'd be jealous. Ha ha. I just got lucky this time, or my body was always meant to be pregnant. I guess I'll have to keep having more kids!
She is definitely going through a growth spurt, which makes her hungrier than ever and more in need of mommy's time. I am really trying to enjoy it as much as I can, knowing in my head that this is a really short time in her life and I will miss it when it is over.
This is a picture from a photo shoot we did a few weeks ago that I love. I will try to be better about posting pictures of her. I take some almost every day, or at least when Andy leaves the camera home. He brings it to work a lot to get pictures for the Beard Contest, which is thankfully ALMOST OVER! We will all be glad for March 1 to roll around.
We just got back from a long weekend in Illinois to meet my new nephew, Jeremiah. This is a picture of the 3 cousins together. Aren't they cute? We had a great time with my family. Andy came home on Sunday, but Noelle and I were able to stay until yesterday for some extra Nana and Papa time. Noelle did so well on both plane rides. On the way there, she slept the whole time, and on the way back, she didn't sleep at all but she didn't fuss either. She was just totally content. I was very pleased!
