Month 3...our toughest month yet! Jameson had her first ER visit and 3 additional doctor visits in one week! Crazy. She is feeling much better but it's been a rough week and a half. Sadly, the illness pretty much trumped any other memory of anything she did this month. We did manage to get some really cute pictures with our new camera though!

Sleep: We are experiencing some sort of sleep regression! Jameson started waking up more often right around the time she got sick (which was right when I started work...convenient, baby!). We are working on getting her back in her crib. She currently sleeps in the angled Rock n' Play or her swing. I think the angle helps with drainage. She has been waking up anywhere between 2-5am and then falls back asleep until 9ish (or 7:45am if we go to daycare).
Size: 11lbs 9oz according to her last doctor's visit! We didn't have her measured but she has a well-baby checkup in February. I'm sure she'll be at least 12lbs by then. Grow baby grow!
Clothes: She can still squeeze into a 0-3 months sleeper but mostly 3 month play clothes and some 3-6 month clothes. 3 month pants are getting a little short...maybe she'll have my legs instead of Will's stumps. Jk at least he has ankles!
Diapers: Size 1 but sometimes she can wear Size 2 Huggies...those came from Party Cousin Dylan...he outgrew them so we inherited them. Thanks Baby D! Diapers are like currency among mommy friends...waste not, my friends!
Eating: 5 ounces! When she was sick she could only take 2 ounces at a time but a lot more often. She is back to inhaling her 5 ounces. We have to put her "bubble-gum medicine" in her morning and night bottles because she won't take the medicine without it. Diva! She is very particular about the temperature of those bottles too. Cool to room temperature ONLY...no warm bottles please.
Likes: Bearic!! For those who don't know Bearic...he is photographed above. They are best friends. She still loves bath time with Dad...duh...and her play-mat from Mimsy. Before getting sick I swear she was going to roll over on it, but we took a week off from it so we'll have to start our training over.
*also, she doesn't mind having her temp taken in the butt...what a weirdo.
Dislikes: OMG the bulb syringe. It is her worst enemy. I know it makes her feel better but she feels the need to scream every time it comes near her...that along with Boogie Wipes. Still doesn't like clothes going over her head. Right now she doesn't like laying on her tummy or laying completely flat (except on her playmat)...so hopefully that will change once she is completely well. She doesn't like being strapped into things...especially the car seat. Sometimes we have to "hold hands" in the car just so she won't cry the whole way to our destination.
*oh, and shockingly, she hates baby catheters....who knew?!?! She had to get one at the ER and I had to leave the room and cry in the hall. Will wins every dad award ever invented for helping her through that. Having both had one we were VERY sympathetic....but I was just emotional and weepy...Will stayed strong! You did it Will!
Other: Still drooly, like she is teething, but no sign of teeth. She has developed her first diaper rash and requires a dry diaper at all times. So bossy! Jk, I'm happy to change that poor soggy baby. She also started daycare :(. She has gone a total of 4 times in 2 weeks so hopefully we'll be back to full time this week.....right Jameson!??!
Milestones: Got through her first illness (mostly). She actually handled it better than mom and dad. Made it through some daycare days. I cried every time I dropped her off. This has been a weird month so I can't remember much besides the sicky times.
Me: Down to 155 woo hoo! I still need to lose 10 more lbs but at least I don't feel huge anymore. Wearing work clothes again is awkward. I just feel chubby most days since I still have zero muscle tone. I tried playing soccer once and wanted to run off the field from embarrassment. I haven't gone back since :( Still breastfeeding/pumping and hoping to last until month 6 (at least). Having a "Mother's Privacy Room" at work definitely makes it a lot easier.
