I am so sorry it has been so long. I will do my best to keep this thing up to date. Life around here has been a little crazy lately. When Lily was 5 weeks old I went back to work to work my two week notice while simultaneously starting classes on my Masters program. And then factor in horomones and trying to figure out a new baby, and its been chaos around here. We are finally getting comfortable with everything and developing our own little routine. Lily had her 2 month check up yesterday and weighs 8 pounds 12 ounces and is 21 3/4 inches long!!! To us that is huge, and she looks so big, but the crazy thing is that most babies are born about that size. I can't imagine what that is like. She also got her shots and has been sleeping and just plain mopey since then. I know the vaccines are good but I hate the way the make her feel. Luckily Grams went with us because Mommy doesn't handle needles so well, especially not when they make my baby girl cry. But pray for me that I can work on my fear because I do not want to pass this trait along to Lily. Lily has learned how to smile and loves smiling when you talk to her. She has also started to coo. I just love her baby noises! She is very strong and lifts her head, especially when she is fighting her sleep. The reflux had gotten worse but we are on two medicines now and she seems to be doing much better. We are still working on the sleeping through the night thing. She has moved to her crib but her reflux keeps her from sleeping well. We have bought a wedge and are hoping by being somewhat elevated it will keep the acid down and she will be able to sleep longer. Josh and I sing Lily to sleep at night so we bought her a journal to write down the songs we sing to her. We try to sing hymns and praise songs, but we sing just about anything. So if you have any suggestions please let me know. The journal has lots of empty pages!
