Reese is 6 weeks old today and I had my 6 week checkup. Reese is getting to be quite the ham, she loves to smile and kick her legs while she is having tummy time, laying and "playing" with her toys, and being changed. She is cooing more and more and the past couple days has developed a high pitch squeal....not sure what that is all about (and not sure if I like it =). She is still a great sleeper at night and this week we officially started the tough love during the day...which means not so much cuddling with me and Nate and taking naps in her crib. So far so good, most of her naps are in her crib, but there are the occasional naps in her cradle, swing, or floor. Reese is still a tiny little peanut. It turns out that she was a lazy eater so I can no longer breastfeed because the Dr. wanted to keep track of how much milk she was actually getting. So with me pumping and supplementing she has finally reached 8 lbs. on Friday.....so thank goodness we do not have to go back until her 2 month check up.
My 6 week check up went great. I was cleared to start working out again (already have an appointment with my trainer on Monday =)). I am back to my prepregnancy weight, but my clothes do not fit quite like I want them too, so I told my trainer I want to be HOT by fall, but HOTTER by winter =)....we shall see. I am feeling great and I think I am starting to get this whole parent thing down. I am enjoying every minute of it.
Here are a few pictures....and a video (I finally captured her rolling over!)
