2 month update

Hey Friends and Family!

WOW time flies when you have a baby! I have LOVED getting to know Teagan and watching her grow. The last few weeks fell over a couple holidays so here are a few pics from Christmas, my parents came down for the weekends and we loved hanging out and cuddling with Teagan.

Quick postpartum update: I have lost ALL my pregnancy weight and then some (I'm down 4 pounds) But I have ALOT of firming up to do... I may weigh less then before, but I'm MUCH more squishy (time for crunches and squats!)

Teagan update: We don't have another doctors appointment until next week so I don't know how much she weighs or her height, BUT she has definitely gotten bigger because she no longer fits in her newborn clothes. She fits in her 3 month clothes pretty well now and I'm hoping I get her her through all of them before she gets bigger! (this is the size of clothes we got the most of from all of you!)

Temperament: She is a HAPPY baby, she only really cries or fusses when she has a wet diaper or  when she's hungry.

Sleep: Now this is where I knock on wood big time and say don't hate me but my baby has been sleeping 7-8 hours through the night for the last two weeks and before that it was about 4- 6 hours and then after a new diaper and night snack she would go right back to sleep. I don't know if this is why but this is kind of her schedule: She wakes up around 8 AM I feed her and change her diaper then she basically will stay up an hour, then I'll swaddle her and have her sleep no more then 2 hours- 2.5 hours. I have her switch her napping spots, usually once in my arms (can't help it, I love cuddle time) once in her crib upstairs, and then I switch between her swing downstairs and a table top crib we have in the living room. (It's basically one of those co-sleeper cribs, but we use it on the kitchen table) We repeat this pattern until around 11 PMish then I start what I call the golden hour. We change her, play with her, read her a story, then feed her.. and as long as she falls asleep between 12AM and 1AM she'll sleep till 8 am. This week we've been trying to kind of rock her a little and put her down while she's not quite asleep, she'll either conk right out or fuss for a little bit then fall asleep, if she starts crying its usually because she peed then we change her and try again! So far its working! So we'll see!


But yeah I'll have more next week as far as weight and hight updates, she's also getting shots (sad baby) So I'll update you all then!

Until then here are some pictures I took yesterday when she turned 2 months old old!


She's such a happy baby!

The pups love her.. but don't understand why they can't have her stuff


Well that's it for now! I make no promises of posts being regular like my weekly updates while pregnant (you mommies out there know my time is now limited!) but I will at least try to do monthly updates. I already regret not doing a month update but here's a pic from when she turned a month (hehe) 




Until next time!
