Well, a friend of a friend has a blog updating everyone how her pregnancy is going. I thought it would be a good idea to do one for Gracie considering we are in the military and we are not able to keep up with our family and friends like we used to! So I am going to attempt (yeah we will so how this goes) to update once a week so you all can hear how Grace is doing. Don't be surprised if in a few months, you check this and surprise...no new blogs, means I have totally forgotten about it so just send me an email and tell me to update it!
So, let me give you a brief summary of our last three months...December 5 we went in for our routine 38 week check up and found out that I was carrying too much amniotic fluid. So the doctor suggested we have a C-Section. I thought he meant in a couple of days...well, he meant that day. I was admitted and Gracie joined our world at 10:25 pm with the stats of 7 lbs 7 oz and 19 inches long. We came home a few days later and had your typical first weeks of no sleep. She has been growing leaps and bounds since then. She is cutie patootie who looks so much like her dad it isn't funny. I sometimes have to remind myself she is my child b/c I gave birth to her!
So, fast forward 2 months and we are in present time. Grace is doing really well. She is getting bigger and bigger by the day. We are growing out of our 0-3 month clothes at a rapid rate. It is almost heartbreaking to put away all of my favorite outfits, but there is nothing I can do about. (Ok, I know a number of you are saying, what a Faith thing to say!). She is also cooing and smiling all the time. As a matter of fact, she is sitting here next to me in her boppy just smiling like crazy. She had her first laugh on Saturday along with being on her tummy and lifting her self up. She did that right before we went to go get her 3 month pictures taken. It was awesome. I have to admit, I obsess over her development but I am getting better.
We bought her a new play gym....and she loves it. One of her favorite things is when we lay down with her and play with dangly toys. She is really becoming interested in the toys and reaching for them. She does grab them here and there but she is still just interested in staring at them.
Another frequent question we get is how is Daisy (for those of you who don't know Daisy is our 9 month toy poodle) is adapting to the new baby...well actually it is going well. She does get jealous here and there but mostly she loves Gracie and is more then willing to share us with Grace. Daisy's favorite thing to do is to climb up on my lap while I have Gracie and chew on her Dingo bones. I have logged many hours on the couch with those two. Daisy also has an issue trying to figure out which toys are hers. But she has her own basket of toys so there isn't much confusion but I am sure she finds Gracie's toys much more interesting.
Well, I am going to sign off for now. I will be posting more later...I am looking forward to sharing stories, achievements and other things that will surely happen in our life! Enjoy the pictures and don't let me lag behind on posting blogs! Ciao for now!
