Her Weight and Our Date

Carlee looks so tiny curled up in my dad's arms.

On Friday, I went to lunch with some co-workers and while I was at the office I decided to weigh Carlee on the digital scale. So I got on the scale first (sorry not telling my weight!!!) and then got on with Carlee and she weighs 7 lbs 8 oz. WOW...I couldn't believe it. I surely thought she was still in the 6 lbs range since the newborn clothes still swallow her, but she is really growing. We have her 2 month appointment in a few weeks so it will be fun to see her exact height and weight and what percentile she falls in, although the getting shots part will not be fun!

My parents came to visit this weekend and they had a great time with Carlee. It had been 3 weeks since they last saw her and they couldn't believe how much she has changed. I don't think I held Carlee for more than 5 minutes all weekend. She is very spoiled. Saturday after dinner, Mom asks if Craig and I wanted to go to the movies while they took care of Carlee and of course we took them up on their offer! We saw the Hangover! Hilarious!!! After the movie, Craig and I were talking about various scenes and there is a baby in the movie and Craig said that all he could think about was that they haven't feed the baby and he was probably getting hungry. I thought that was really cute! Oh how your outlook on life and things change after having a baby.

HIGHLIGHT...For the first time, I put Carlee to bed last night and she slept a 4 hour shift and then a 5 hour shift. Whahoooooo!!! She woke up at 5:45am and the whole time I was feeding her I keep looking at the clock and for the life of me I couldn't remember what time her last feeding was besides the one at 1am. After 20 minutes of pondering, I realized she slept through it. Usually we have a feeding around 3am, but not this time!!! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for tonight!

Happy Monday! xoxo, Susan
