One month old already!




Today Brynn is officially one month old and I don't mean to sound cliche - but I don't know where the time has gone! I'm so proud of our little girl - she is eating so much better and continues to gain weight. It still takes her almost an hour sometimes to get down her bottle, but as long as the feeder is patient, she pulls through like a champ. And at the doctor we learned that she is finally 5 lbs! Brynn still isn't too interested in actual breasfeeding, but I'm just continuing to pump every 2-3 hours with my Pump in Style (which I love by the way) and give it to her in a bottle. That's kind of nice when Brynn is eating every 2-3 hours my husband is then able to share the nighttime feedings. Other than the few days I supplemented with formula due to her jaundice we've pretty much been able to do solely breastmilk. But if for some reason I can't keep up with what she needs, I'm okay with that. Whatever works I say...I'm trying to learn not to sweat the small stuff with her. It makes for a much more enjoyable day when there's less stress on stuff. Neela celebrated her one month birthday with her sister by being a lazy couch potato. I have to admit, I'm loving spending time with my girls at home and can't even imagine going back to work anytime too soon, LOL!

This morning I had a repeat transvaginal ultrasound to look at my uterine lining. (Ahh...more early morning dates with my old boyfriend the dildocam! I've missed you there old boy, LOL! Yes I am sick I know...and just tired) I'm still having some problem with bleeding and I've finished with the methergine that my OB prescribed. So in the next few hours I should hear back if I'll be needing surgery or not. If the ultrasound looks questionable, I would rather just get it over with if I'm going to need surgery. I'm ready to get the show on the road if you know what I mean :-) I'm ready to start to move forward and be done with either Brynn or myself needing to spend time at the hospital.

The strangest thing happened this weekend....I got an actual craving for jello. How sick is that?Once glancing in my kitchen I realized that I only had two boxes of jello. So I sent my faithful husband to Kroger and once again he pulled through for me. We are now well stocked in the jello department.

Funny enough my husband said that the lady behind him was buying a lot of liquor and here he was buying all this jello. Together they could have made some mean jello shots! Anyways....I hope everyone is having a great week and after I take Brynn to her weight check at her pediatrician tomorrow morning I am looking forward to catching up with everyone's blogs. I miss you all!

One month? Really? Where has time gone? That previous post cracks me up - and now the second picture set of Neela and Brynn is just precious.

I've been thinking of you a lot as I've been trying to be on bedrest after my ET. Seriously, I have NO IDEA HOW YOU DID IT!!! You are my new hero. I'm so impressed.

Hope they figure out how to stop the bleeding soon. I hear you with just wanting to get on with it.

~~HUGS~~

The time does fly.

I'm impressed that your super boobs are producing the goods with pumping alone!

Happy one month old to Brynn. This makes her about term, yes? :)

Oh, and my twins took a while to gett faster at feeding, too, but it does happen.

It's not a cliche at all...
When I read the heading, I thought "you've got to be kidding me... it can't possibly be one whole month already"...
Seriously, where is the time going.

Can Neela be any cuter...snuggling beside her lil sis, and looking too thoughtful for a puppy...so beautiful.

I really hope you won't be needing surgery, but as you say, if it's necessary, then at least you can have it done and move on.

Happy one month Brynn... Gosh, where did the time go!

All the best

TODAY IS BRYNN'S DUE DATE!! (at least according to your tickers it is)

I am so glad that she is doing so well. I keep on telling (and showing pics) Mr. W how sweet Neela is with her. Hooray for the 5 pound mark!

I hope that you don't need surgery, or if you do I hope it goes smoothly and quickly!

Tara said...

Wow, a month already? That went fast.

Neela and Brynn are adorable together on the couch.

Wow, that is amazing, time totally flies! I love the pictures, how beautiful. I am a big fan of the Pump In Style too, both personal and professional experience. Thank you for the update, Big ((Hugs)) and wishing you the best for a speedy recovery.

Congrats on the one month "birthday", Brynn! And that dog of yours is truly too cute for words. I love how she is cuddling Brynn.

Just Me. said...

Gosh! They're sooo cute together!!! I just showed babes your pictures and he smiled!!

My gosh, 1 month already?! Soon, little Brynn will be walking! I hope the bleeding stops. It sounds really uncomfortable and you've been through so much.

Happy Birthday, sweet Brynn and more birthdays to come!!!

Happy one month Brynn. I could tell by the pics that you are filling up nicely and soon you will be a big girl. Neela is being such a wonderful big sister . These pictures are just precious. I hope you don;t need surgery my friend. Take care!

Carrie27 said...

Yay for 1 month old and being home. Nothing beats being at home!

I hope that you can avoid surgery and start moving forward and celebrating Brynn's life.

a month?!?!?! no way! she is adorable and I LOVE the pics of her and Nella, I just hope Memphis takes as well to this one (tho he's more like a tank of a dog who thinks he's a lap dog). I am so glad she is doing well, and crossing my fingers you'll both be tip top soon!

Cara said...

Ah - the time warp...you know, that the thirty days till delivery and the thirty days after delivery measure the same on the calendar but FEEL totally different!

Happy one month little girl. Keep making your mom and dad so happy.

Meghan said...

I'm in the "can't believe it's been a month" club too. Crazy how the time starts flying, isn't it??

Hoping you got good news about your lining and don't need surgery

Heather said...

Congratulations to Brynn (and you!) on being one month old!!!

And I hope you and your doctor get everything settled soon. I'm sure we'd all love to avoid surgeries, but I'm sure you just want to do what it takes to get to the end of bleeding sooner rather than later.

Take care!

Claire said...

Hi,

This is a bit random (and forgive me if you've already answered this already because my search function isn't working properly) but...

What sort of dog is Neela? I love her! I want one!

xx
Thinking of you,
Claire

Jill said...

One month...no way! That first pic definitely needs to go in the baby book. Your puppy is so sweet with Brynn.

I can't believe you can even talk about jello, let alone eat it again. LOL You're so funny.

Let us know if you're going to need surgery or not, k?

((HUGS))

Lisa said...

I can't believe she is a month already. Hoping the bleeding stops soon. I too have been on a jello kick lately!! Orange is my favorite!!!!

battynurse said...

Wow. A month old. Funny about the jello. I bought some margarita flavored jello a while back and was thinking of making jello shots with it.

jenn said...

Happy one month! That first photo makes me melt a little- so sweet!

caramama said...

I just love the pics with her and the dog snuggling! They both look so sweet!

And the time truly does fly, even if some nights seem to last forever. :-)
