This is fun...

I can't believe that Tori is 8 weeks old! We loooooooove being parents! Each day is more fun than the previous one.

Tori is doing amazing! As of Monday she weighed 10 pounds 5 ounces. She is awake alot more and making funny faces. It is so fun to just sit and watch her and talk to her. She seems to be a laid back baby which we appreciate. She only gets pissed when I don't have any milk for her which hopefully won't be a problem after next Tuesday when I go to the doctor. With the help of Beth, the lactation consultant at Pekin hospital, I have come to accept the fact that I need medical help to have the amount of milk Tori needs. I am praying that after I get on medicine that I will only have to pump when I am not with Tori. I am currently pumping 8-12 times a day. Our routine is nurse Tori, give her a bottle of breast milk, then pump. From start to finish it takes about an hour and twenty minutes and she wants to eat every two hours! So I pretty much have NO life. If she's all on the breast it would be so much easier to do things and ideally go back to work part time.

Tori now loves her swing, bouncy chair, boppy, and crib but hates the pack n play which is weird. She loves going places and just looks around taking everything in. I just can't believe how big she's gotten. Monday I saw a baby that was 5 days old and it's weird to think she was that small 7 weeks ago.

Here are some new pictures! Sorry they are out of order. I can usually rearrange them after uploading them, but can't figure it out on the iPad!

When I get up in the middle of the night this is how Mocha is sleeping in her kennel. It cracks me up!

Tori celebrated turning 8 weeks by sleeping through the night! She slept for 7 hours straight. This is her in her crib.

And this is how she wakes up completely sideways. She's such a squirmer!


Tried to catch her smiling!

Talking during tummy time!

Workin on head control.

Mocha likes to hide things. Lately she's been into hiding milk bones.

After she hides something she has to keep an eye on it.

Our little ducky!

Cuddle time with Mommy.

Someone didn't want to eat!

Devin was working on cleaning the hot tub and Mocha thought it was time to play the the hose! I didn't mind because it made for some awesome pictures!

Be sure to check back soon! I am going to be an aunt in 5 days or less. Rachel is scheduled to be induced on Tuesday if Sofia hasn't arrived before then. Her actual due date is Saturday, so we are all hoping Sofia decides to make her appearance early. I am so excited for Eric and Rachel to be parents. They are going to do great and have so much fun! I can not wait to go to Texas. If I get my whole milk thing figured out I hope to go down soon! They are planning a tirp up here in October, but that seems so far away to me! Anyways, as soon as I get pictures of Sofia I will post!

Thanks for checking in!
