6 things @ 6 weeks

Today marks 6 weeks since C joined our family... in some ways, it feels like a lifetime and in other ways, it feels like I blinked and we're already at this benchmark!

6 Things @ 6 Weeks

* C now weighs 12.5 pounds (!!) and is 23 inches long.

* C loves to cluster feed at night before bed.  I try to be bothered by it, but really?  This sweet chunker wants mommy snuggles and I am more than happy to oblige (as long as I can eat at the same time).

* C is no match for the Baby Bjorn.  I think all but one time she has been defeated and asleep within 5 minutes of being snapped into it!  I love baby wearing but am still trying to figure out how to get her out of the thing without waking her up.  I know, never wake a sleeping baby.  But this kid is huge and my back can only take so much at a time.  I'm building my strength :)

* C is almost halfway through reading Charlotte's Web.  She's pretty into it ;)

* C has already traveled to 5 cities in Wisconsin.  She's kind of a seasoned traveler.  It's hard to know her favorite, but I imagine it was her trip up to the cabin.

* C loves to be swaddled.  She may look like she's in a straight jacket, but she does much better when she's wrapped up.  We're at a point of trying to figure out if she's a colicky baby or just a fuss bucket.  Hard to believe we're already halfway to the three month mark!

  1. Try a soft structure carrier like become or ergo. It is way nicer on the back. I use mine with max (25+ lbs) and I can wear him for a few hours with no problems

The neighborhood gem

We have lived in our current place for about 2.5 years. Sunday marked the first time EVER that we walked to the neighborhood park and participated in open swim at the pool. I don't know why it took so long... maybe because we're not usually here on the weekends? Not sure. But Sunday was such a gorgeous day that we couldn't resist the urge to be outside but this preggo needed to be cool. I mentioned the pool and called to find out deets (hours, type of swim, fee, etc) and we slipped on our suits & were out the door in no time! We had been working all morning to assemble baby gear and catch up on laundry so we welcomed the break. We spent about an hour soaking up the sun and floating around in the water. We really aren't going anywhere (no more trips to the cabin or Green Bay for me) between now and the baby's arrival so I suspect that if the weather is nice, we'll be more likely to consider the pool.  Hey, it's clean, free, and close to home. Can...

Maternity Pictures

I let out the biggest squeal of joy when I went to get the mail today and found this package waiting for me! Seriously, I've been stalking Bobbi's life and seeing everyone's amazing teasers was making me so much more excited to get our pictures!  I'm so happy to share the amazing work done by Bobbi at The Salty Peanut.  I highly recommend her to all of my Wisconsinite friends, particularly those in the Madison area, though she's willing to travel.  Check out the website here  and let her know that Mrs. Porch sent you her way!  Her work speaks for itself so I won't gush too much...... I seriously cannot pick a favorite.  So I'm not going to.  But you can!  :) Just 19 days until Baby Porch is predicted to arrive!  I'm so happy we got these back before she arrived; it's such a fun way to remember this exciting time in our lives.  And soon, we won't look nearly as well-rested, but we'll have ...

when even the doctor feels badly for you

went for the repeat ultrasound yesterday with my heart filled with positive thoughts and feelings just to find out that my uterine lining is WAY too thick to move forward. in fact, dr. b was worried because my uterus and ovaries seem to be having different conversations about where they are in my cycle. blood was drawn and results revealed that i hadn't ovulated and so, my dear friends, i am back on birth control for an undetermined length of time. the short version of this paragraph:  i didn't bleed enough this month so i have to do it again. you know it's rough when even the doctor has that sad look in her eyes and wraps up the appointment with, "I feel so bad for you, it's just one thing after another." that's why i like her, to be honest. let's not sugar coat this process and let's skip the whole "we'll get 'em next time, tiger" pep talk. it sucks. and we're allowed to feel that, my fellow infertility peeps. it's o...
