She hates dairy though...goodbye frozen yogurt! L
Book- “On the
night you were born”
Song- “Beautiful,
beautiful” by Francesca Battistelli (when she cries in the car, I play this
from my phone and it usually helps calm her down) I started singing this to her
recently and she loves it too :D
Toy- My boobs.
Non-toy toy- My
boobs.
Time of day- any
time as long as she’s fed, clean, and napping!
TV show- She
watches a little bit of TV now!
Thing to giggle at-
She loves giggling and talking when we change her diaper. Strange kid.
Firsts/Milestones:
- Not only does she make eye contact with us, but she is
starting to talk to us! Along with smiling and laughing!! We LOVE it.
-We love hearing her big (and little) poops!
-Traveling with her in the car (alone) isn’t as scary as it
use to be (for short trips)...I am so use to it now! Granted I hold my breath
the ENTIRE time hoping she is comfortable and safe...as soon as I hear a
cry...my blood pressure goes from normal to dangerously high! Thank goodness so
far, those moments are not that common!
“Don’t worry! She’ll be fine!”
I really hate people
saying that to me.
Okay. I know that is just a way to help reassure me...make me feel better...but in very specific
circumstances thus far- my mommy intuition is RIGHT. Hearing that phrase just
makes me feel as if I am wrong. Yeah
yeah...sensitive little ol’ me.
Estella has been having issues gaining weight to the point
of our pediatrician giving us an actual time
limit to get her to boost her weight before he “called in the troops”.
Although everything else appeared normal and healthy, the only two things that
were out of the norm was her weight AND her yucky green poops.
I knew there was
something wrong. Not the typical “Oh she’ll just catch up and have a big growth
spurt!” but the “HOW CAN I FIX THIS?!”
We spent the weekend tweaking things here and there with the
breastfeeding...discovered quickly that my overproduction
of milk is actually a SUCKY problem to have...worked on that and BOOM! Our
baby girl gained 9 ounces in THREE days. Amazing.
That is when I felt like a good mom for the first time. Not
only was I able to provide nutrition for my growing little girl but I was able
to use my “motherly instinct” to fix
the problem!
She is still growing slowly but she is so healthy...and that
is what makes us happy and reassured.
So all you moms out there...even you first time mamas like
me...LISTEN to YOUR intuition. Don’t ignore it.
That inner voice that is embedded in you the moment you
delivered life into the world is vital
to your growth as a person...a mother...and the health of your beautiful baby.
