Here she is at 1 month old!  Don't ya just love the cheeks?

 

 

10/12~ The baby slept 7 (!!) hours last night!  We can call that "sleeping through the night"... right?! I think it was in celebration of her turning 1 month old yesterday. Of course, I am not holding my breath that this will become a habit yet. Tonight could be a repeat of the other nights this week. LOL

 
She smiled at her daddy yesterday morning. (We will count it as her first "intentional" smile.:) ) Too cute. It takes a lot of effort to lift those cheeks of hers! We weighed her last night and she is 10lbs. 8 oz. Up a whole pound from her birth weight. She gained 1 lb and I lost 2lbs. Love this system!
 
Anyway, I am taking it easy today. I had kind of a big day yesterday. A good day, but with our visitors for a play date and lunch, and the evening shopping trip, it was a lot of activity for me. (Even though I took a 2 hour nap in the afternoon!)
 
We went to Ross last night and I found 2 pair of jeans that fit! Hooray, hoorah.They are modern jeans too... Not "Mom" jeans...like most of the ones I have had in the last 7 years. Not the teenager kind, but appropriate for a 30-something woman and in style for this decade! (*Insert Victory dance here*) 
And best of all... Please forgive my bragging here... they are a size 10P!!!
The shopping trip wore me out and I was only in the store for 45 minutes. No stamina yet. (Which is easier on my budget, right? There must be a benefit to this.) :) I found a few tops that will work for nursing and actually fit over my giganti-bust. I call that a good day. Now I need to find a couple of pairs of shoes. It looks like my feet "grew" with this pregnancy- they didn't with the others... and I may need to go up a 1/2 size in shoes. This means I will have to fling most of my shoe collection. Very sad as I have to confess I have close to 50 pairs... yes, fifty. It has taken me years to build up this collection. Most of them are for specific outfits and I only wear about 20 of them on a regular basis, but still!!! And yes, I have flung all of the ones I don't love. Really!
