How much can I say about her?! I love my baby....we love our Adi! These pictures are kind of in order from leaving the hospital until today. She's three weeks old today. There's her first little bath...she almost slept through it....her first trunk or treat this past Monday- she was a giraffe. She also had the cutest pumpkin outfit on. She came out looking like me and looks so much like Tj now it's crazy cute! She has my ears though...totally. She's not a newborn any more but a baby. I'm feeling better than I was of course but still not perfect. I'm almost out of pain killers so I hope the pain ends soon.
Adi is starting to sleep longer. She sleeps about three hours at a time...at night. Then again it depends on the night. One night I got almost four hours straight and then she woke up and ate for fifteen minutes and slept another three hours. That was a good night. I'm starting to really get the hang of this now though...slowly but it's coming. I'm so glad we're here at mom and dad's right now. It sure is a blessing for us and for me right now with learning to be a mommy. It's hard work!
I finally lost the water weight after two weeks of being not pregnant. I automaticallhy felt 90 percent better after that. My hormones started to equal out too. I actually enjoy going out and being with my husband...well, i always do enjoy those things don't get me wrong...but my whole outlook on things is so much brighter now and...well, that might be because I'm starting to get a little more sleep too. It's hard being cooped up in the house all day too. I try to find things around the house to do and I'm still figuring out the baby feeding thing. I guess I'm "very" fortunate to be producing milk ...a lot...but I'm still not sure what's fortunate about the mass amount that's producing. It's been making me pretty miserable but I think I'm starting to figure that out too. Wow! There's a lot that comes with being a new mommy. My mom has been such a great help and Ashlee gave me some good advice and stayed up with me all night when we went to Kansas City together. Of course everyone has great advice to give all the time.
I haven't taken Adi out much but we spent the day out today. Mom and Dustin have no school and work since Tuesday and we all went to run errands today and it was really nice to be out of the house. Now I'm sitting here blogging when I should be getting everything done that I didn't do today when we were out. it's been a good day.
