Natalie is almost a month old! She had a checkup at 3 weeks old last Friday (which was also her due date), where she weighed 8 pounds, 9 ounces– growing very well. She makes lots of cute faces at us and we try to catch them on camera! Here’s some pictures of her expressions from the past week.
Ironic how it’s ME who has her days and nights mixed up! Natalie is sleeping and here I am wide awake at 1:30 AM. Oh well it’s a good time to post some new pictures.
Just hanging out with mom, and in the Moby (which I love– hands free and so comfy).
Her pucker up face:
She makes the funniest faces when you give her a pacifier. The Soothies (like they use in the hospital) are the only ones she will take (and even those only sometimes). I think they are so funny looking!
That’s all for now.
I’ll try to write a longer update later… in honor of Natalie’s 2 week birthday tomorrow! Here’s a few pictures to hold you over until then.
She loves sitting in her Boppy pillow!
We’re home now, just relaxing. More later– for now here’s some pictures.
Not much has changed since Monday, I am 4.5 cm dilated now, so a little more than Monday, and Natalie’s head is a bit lower (-2 station). My doctor seems quite perplexed that I am not in labor yet! I asked her to strip my membranes and she did– maybe something will happen tonight! I’ve been sore and crampy ever since, so maybe that’s a good sign? Looks like I will get my wish for a March baby, though, yay! (Andy and I have been arguing over whether she would be born in his birthday month or mine! Thank goodness it’s not a leap year.)
Last night we tried timing some contractions and they were 10 minutes apart for an hour, but then we got too sleepy. They aren’t nearly strong enough to keep me awake. Not much else to report! We will keep you posted.
