2 Months & Connecticut Visit

I'm really late to the game here. Blog slacking. Honestly, my time is going to my baby girl... and taking my time to care for her is more important than cutting into that time to write it all down. I'm still dedicated to stopping by here with some very limited free time and getting it all out when I can.


She is two months now. Her personality is definitely developing. She started socially smiling right before we took the trip up to Connecticut to visit family and friends. Right after we came back, Daddy Chris worked with her to make certain sounds and he has her squealing and saying "ahhh". He is so good with her! I think he's really starting to enjoy spending time with her now that she can interact back. Here's a favorite video of mine - I'm reading one of her favorite books that Auntie Marsha and Uncle Danny gave her:


We also took a LONG drive up to Connecticut. It was absolutely wonderful to see everyone and visit. I was exhausted by the end of the trip and made me appreciate having Chris as a father/caregiver. I have no clue how people function while taking care of a baby all on their own!

She also had her Pediatrician visit and he said she is moving like a 4 month old! She is growing perfectly and proportionally on the same 50 percentile (which is more important and what they look for). She weights about 11.5 lbs (probably more now). 

She loves books and has especially taken a liking to one Arianna donated to us - it's a crinkle book made of cloth and each page has a sensory feel to it (like a smooth glittery butterfly or a soft fluffy lamb). She has figured out "bedtime" and fights it like clockwork right around 7pm. We've had to start being a little sly about it (changing who puts her down in the crib) feeding her in the living room first, removing the book right before bed... none of it really has worked well... she just knows it's "time to be down for the night" and fights it. I read this is normal and I'm not too worried about it. She eventually tires herself out and falls asleep.

    Cynthia had a "witching hour" around 7 pm too at this stage!

3 Months & COVID-19

The world is chaotic right now... just in time for little Miss Zoey Bear to turn 3 months! It's flying by. Right now she is finding her hands, munching on them, starting to hold onto things and loves to play with her soft books (mostly chew on them). Interacting with her is SO much fun and there is nothing better than to see her smile at you. Chris always melts when she smiles at him, he knows he is in for it! Right now we are in the middle of a new pandemic called COVID-19 (corona virus) and the country is being told to stay away from groups of 10 or more (some parts of the country - like New York - are told to stay indoors except for essentials). It's a strange world out there right now. Luckily, nothing much has changed over here since I am working from home and we barely were going out much anyways (with baby and all). I went to the grocery store to stock up on some food and the aisles were bare... No meats, paper goods, rice, canned goods and very little pasta among othe...

Week 38 - Countdown Begins

Eeek, only 1 more week until Induction date! I can't believe it's coming up so quickly. I am so excited and terrified all at the same time. Part of me is like... "get her out, i'm sore, tired and want to be able to tie my shoes or sneeze without peeing myself!" but another part of me is like... "this means lack of sleep, crying nights and A LOT of work". All I have to do is remind myself that I get to see that little face, the one that's been keeping me company squirming in my belly all these months. She is almost here and ready to meet us. When I think about that, it brings me to tears and I know I am strong enough to handle it. Women have been doing this from the beginning of time and I am not so special. It's time to begin that next chapter, the one where I stop being so selfish and become a better person to raise this little human being who will need my love, guidance and care. I go in for my final Ultrasound today and I am seeing the midwi...

It's Happening....

At ultrasound today and Zoey wasn't moving around like she should, got sent to labor and delivery for monitoring and even though she was looking great.... They decided it was time to start my induction. I'm now laying in the hospital bed, having contractions after my second dose of cryotec was given. This is supposed to soften my cervix, then I can get checked for dilation in a few hours. So yeah, this is happening. I'll try and keep this updated with my labor story as we go. Zoey will probably be here today (seeing as it's 3am) December 21st 2019. 12/21/19
