growing

ok, so i've noticed i really dont' have much time now, so i need to make these short and sweet.

nissa is growing like a weed. she's grown out of newborn size and is now filling out 0-3 month clothing rather nicely. she was absolutely swimming in newborn sized stuff when she came home! i can't thank adam's coworker and lola's mom enough for the generous donation of tiny clothes- but now they're too tiny for nissa!

and after:

last night/this morning nissa slept 6 hours straight for the first time. amazing. i actually woke her up to feed her, so she may have slept longer than that. i'm so excited at the prospect of continuous sleep! now all i have to do is get her to do this at an earlier hour (she laid down at 3am, completely awake prior to) and in her bed. sometimes she can pull off crib sleeping, but last night and the night before i had to resort to the ol' swing.

breastfeeding has been going super well, but sometimes i could really go for a cup of coffee. or a martini. :D

monday, monday

this is getting interesting. i am currently pumping milk for future use, but mostly because i'm full and need to empty out. this will be the third time i've done so, and i have a bit of a stash forming in the freezer. we haven't tried feeding nissa by bottle yet, but now we have the option.

yesterday nissa and i talked to my parents by webcam and it was awesome. it's a little weird to be looking at someone looking up or down, depending on where the camera sits, but it's still cool to see who you're talking to. we'll have to find a way to video chat 3-way, so we can have rick and lisa there too.

i had my 6 week appointment today and apparently i'm all better! my uterus is back to normal, my cervix is closed (um, hello? never opened!) and my incision scar is healing nicely. there's been no magic weight loss yet, but i think that probably has to do with my poor eating and sleeping habits. i'm gong to try to be a little better about that moving forward.
