7 Weeks Old

This post is late because I have been insanely busy the last several days. I apologize! Brianna is 7 weeks and 3 days old today. She just went through a major growth spurt (which seems to happen once every week or every other week) in which she barely slept for three days straight and pretty much ate every hour to hour and a half, which as you can imagine kept me on my toes.



Naptime- Sleeps like Mommy!

I have been drinking Mother's Milk herbal tea to keep my supply up with her needs. I have never been a big believer in herbal crap, but this stuff definitely works! A good tip for any other breastfeeding new mommies reading this. Beer works almost as well, but obviously cannot be used as often.

Today she is finally back to normal, which is good since Matt is very sick with a bad kidney stone. Last night we even went to the ER because he was in so much pain. He was sent home with some strong pain medication and instructed to return if the pain got worse or didnt go away after a few days. Fortunately Miss Brianna was a perfect angel at the hospital and slept the entire time.

The cutest bunny slippers EVER!

Milestones this week.. During time on her mat, Bri has been spending time not only looking intently at the toys that hang above her, but she is also trying to figure out how to roll over. She can already get herself onto her side from her back, and when she is on her tummy she sticks her but out and tucks her hands under, rocking back and forth on them. We're close! Also, she produced her first tear this week. I got a picture of it, but its really sad because she is very upset in the picture.. so I'm not going to post it.

Love,

Catherine, Mat & Bri
